TOP EPIDEMIOLOGISTS: MASKS DON'T WORK!

This was an excellent article.  
They responded by noting there is little conclusive evidence that face masks are an effective way to limit the spread of respiratory viruses.
All these countries recommending face masks haven’t made their decisions based on new studies, said Henning Bundgaard, chief physician at Denmark’s Rigshospitalet,  according to Bloomberg News.
Denmark is not alone.
Despite a global stampede of mask-wearing, data show that 80-90 percent of people in Finland and Holland say they “never” wear masks when they go out, a sharp contrast to the 80-90 percent of people in Spain and Italy who say they “always” wear masks when they go out.
Dutch public health officials recently explained why they’re not recommending masks.
From a medical point of view, there is no evidence of a medical effect of wearing face masks, so we decided not to impose a national obligation, said Medical Care Minister Tamara van Ark.
Others, echoing statements similar to the US Surgeon General from early March, said masks could make individuals sicker and exacerbate the spread of the virus.
Face masks in public places are not necessary, based on all the current evidence, said Coen Berends, spokesman for the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment.
There is no benefit and there may even be negative impact.
In Sweden, where COVID-19 deaths have slowed to a crawl, public health officials say they see “no point” in requiring individuals to wear masks.
With numbers diminishing very quickly in Sweden, we see no point in wearing a face mask in Sweden, not even on public transport, said Anders Tegnell, Sweden’s top infectious disease expert. 
In fact, not only do masks NOT work, they're pools of warm, moist particles that can make you sick or exacerbate any other condition you might have.  Give this 4:37 interview a listen
