No I get that science is too complicated for you.
But what can I expect from yet another guy who thinks masks are pointless but is complaining because the government said some masks are better than others.
What do we REALLY know about Covid-19?

Don't forget your hydroxychloroquine and your bottle of bleach.
Yes, having a stronger immune system means you are less likely to get sick but it's hardly a way to defeat a virus. There's a reason why polio was eliminated with a vaccine and not multi-vitamins.
Out of date
SARS had no problem spreading on an airplane
So why do you think Covid (which is related to SARS) is somehow able to not spread?
What does that mean for airplanes?
The World Health Organization defines contact with an infected person as being seated within two rows of one another.
But people don’t just sit during flights, particularly ones lasting longer than a few hours. They visit the bathroom, stretch their legs, and grab items from the overhead bins. In fact, during the 2003 coronavirus outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), a passenger aboard a flight from Hong Kong to Beijing infected people well outside the WHO’s two-row boundary. The New England Journal of Medicine noted that the WHO criteria “would have missed 45 percent of the patients with SARS.”
Here’s how coronavirus spreads on a plane—and the safest place to sit
Global travel opens new roads for outbreaks, like coronavirus and the flu—but which is more dangerous, and how can you stay safe?

You're wrong on this one, study showing 3-layer masks are better than on layer were out in July already:
Covid-19 mask safety: Two or three layers best to protect against virus, study finds | CNN
Home-made cloth face masks likely need a minimum of two layers, and preferably three, to protect against COVID-19, a new study finds.

Study showing N95 masks are the best mask was out on August 11 already: https://hartfordhealthcare.org/about-us/news-press/news-detail?articleid=27691&publicId=395
Dr. Tam finally clues in in the 1st week of November and tells us 3-layer masks are better.
She is incompetent like there's no tomorrow
Maybe you're not trying hard enough??
I have never said masks dont work, I have always said N95 masks are the ones people should use, and not the flimsy masks most people are wearing now
Would you necessarily be against hazmat suits if the government handed them out for free??
They only cost $100 each and would probably stop the pandemic in Canada within weeks.
I'm just curious if you'd be okay with that
You are moving the goalposts. First you are complaining about masks vs. no masks in March and now you are talking about number of layers from a July study. It is hard to have an honest discussion with you.You're wrong on this one, study showing 3-layer masks are better than on layer were out in July already:

You didn't address my question, what do you hope to accomplish by proving she's incompetent? What will that change?
I'm speaking from HER perspective.
Why is she just figuring out in November that studies show 3-layer masks work better than 1-layer (when studies have shown in July 3-layers work best)??
Please come up with a plausible explanation
We were talking about why she didn't recommend masks right away in Late Feb./early March. She was wrong for the 1st month (because of what scientific info was available) about whether to wear masks but has had the same consistent message for the last 8 or 9 masks that masks should be worn.
Please acknowledge that before we now move the goalposts and discuss the number of layers.
I havent watched EVERY single news conference or tweet she posted, but lets say you're right and she has advocated for masks since March.
Whats her excuse for finding out 3 months later that 3-layered masks work better than 1-layer masks??
July study: https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/23/health/covid-mask-layers-wellness/index.html
Dr. Tam Nov. 3rd announcement: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/three-layer-mask-tam-1.5787946
How were they going to wear masks they couldn't get?
Wrong. Over 99.9% of the masks people are wearing work. They work to reduce the liklihood of C-19 infections.
In study after study medical or surgical type masks were as effective as N95 masks.
These type of masks have been available to the public since forever.
"The World Health Organization has recommended three layers for non-medical masks since June. When pressed about the sudden change for Canada, Tam said the research has evolved."
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/three-layer-mask-tam-1.5787946
Others were recommending them long before June.
To the average John or Jane on the street & street corners that should have been common sense since about the time they were toddlers.
Is a KN95 mask better than a sheet of bum tissue as a mask. Duh.
Quoting a study saying surgical masks are better while obsessively posting that masks don't work?
Does the government hand masks out for free?
Plenty of new viruses out there. They could assume every new virus is an airborne Ebola or they could make recommendations based on the evidence available.
But amazing that Mr. Masks Don't Work is complaining the government didn't tell us to wear masks earlier.
She knew surgical masks are better. We all knew surgical masks are better. The decision was whether surgical masks were needed or whether other masks would be sufficient. In July and August, the numbers were low so it seemed the difference was insignificant. As the numbers climbed, the realized we needed to step up the recommended specs.
