A) This has nothing to do with Trump. WTF. Stop making this a political us vs. them thing.
B) Noone ever said it wasn't effective, just that it's not 100% effective. There's a huge difference. The n95 mask is still the most effective.
You'd be wrong.
There are people who think making people wear homemade masks is some kind of conspiracy to strip their liberties.

When such people have their daily freedoms and liberties totally robbed of them by being hospitalized with COVID-19, they might be able to change their minds about some conspiracy.
I think that's the problem with making them mandatory to begin with. No one has the time to wash a handmade mask everytime they go out. So people end up wearing the same dirty mask every day, which defeats the purpose of even wearing them. And some of these masks are being price gouged, so its not like its easy or cheap to find new masks.
I see more people touching their faces now WITH the masks than when they aren't wearing them. On top of that, if theyre not being washed daily...
I have ten home made masks in addition to disposable surgical masks. I throw my home made ones in the washing bin after each use.
Touching one's face is something that is really hard to unlearn. A mask helps because it put a barrier between hand and nose/mouth.

I still find it odd that masks are recommended but no store hands out disposable ones at entrance, nor do they sell the cloth ones. You have to either make them or overpay for one from unknown source online.
I have no problem wearing one, but make it easy to aquire cheap functional one, not some easter egg hunt.

It's not that hard. I wash mine in the sink with hot water and dish soap when I get home from wherever I've been. I hang it over the kitchen doorknob to dry overnight.
Anyone who whines about washing their masks is just damn lazy. Always an excuse ...
Social distancing is what derailed the economy. Mask wearing helps to get it back on track by slowing the spread.
