This thread has been presented as a joke and it is not a joke.
What is it now, close to 500 hundred thousand have died in the U S so far?
ITS NO JOKE!
How many of those people wore masks?

Doesn’t work means that masks in uncontrolled environments have no bearing on the rate of infection.

Define uncontrolled environment?

Even in the public, if people are wearing masks properly then it definitely helps.

Uncontrolled environments is everywhere you go that the environment is not controlled. So outside of ORs, clean rooms, etc.

We've been using the visor since the beginning and in many cases prior to Covid we used them too for a range of tasks.

We also wear gloves. The general public don't really need to wear gloves so long as they wash their hands regularly, sanitise where possible and avoid touching their face.

As for masks being single-use, they always have been. It's not about how long the virus can survive on that surface (which is still open to debate, but on some surfaces up to 30 days).

PPE has been commonplace and required in healthcare for most tasks as it creates a barrier that greatly reduces the risk of infection or cross-contamination entirely in some cases.

Masks aren't that much to ask of people to wear as they're arguably the most effective means, especially when coupled with social distancing, at reducing the spread of Covid.
I disagree with most of everything you have said because you are wrong.

Then provide proof as to why I'm wrong.

Are you also a medical professional?

Do you also work in infection prevention and control?

Do you also have daily access and discussion with experts spanning multiple fields within medicine and science?

I mean, that's obviously wrong. Of course it makes a difference. I can't tell if you're trolling or not.

If you and your friends knew anything about it, the deaths would not have jumped out of sight in the last few months. The facts of overwhelming deaths are proof enough. I don't need to prove anything. Their deaths are the proof. I use my right to reply and I don't debate. I have said my peace.
Take you hands off your eyes and see what is in front of you.:)
Blessings

Your argument is like saying because you threw a glass of water on a house fire and it didn't stop it that water is ineffective against fires.

You're blocked now anyway, someone can't learn something they think they already know.

Oh, if you were asking the same questions then yes :)
Wait...when did you become a medical professional? I know we don’t talk much any more, but that’s a pretty big step. :)

I've worked in the health service for 4 years now lol. Time certainly does fly!

Funnily enough I was looking for a past email from someone at Grace to You this morning and it was from 2015!

Whether or not the efficiency of three masks beats two masks, it wouldn't seem to matter much if the person takes off his mask(s) long enough to sneeze or cough or wears the mask(s) with the nose uncovered. I presume that every reader has seen these or similar moves while they have been out shopping, but once those people are inside the store they're home free so far as mask-wearing goes.

How does your work qualify you as any sort of expert in this discussion?
