Care to explain how those two things are harmful? I don’t totally agree with both things but I am curious what type of harm you are talking about?
Keeping everyone isolated in their homes, and avoiding contact is slowing the time it takes to develop herd immunity which is our only real defense against the virus. A vaccine could be years away if ever, and until it is actually deployed its effectiveness is unknown. Given all the different avenues by which a virus can be contracted, and that most people have no clue as to the proper use of PPE and avoiding cross contamination, mask wearing is just a feel good gesture that accomplished little.
“There is no specific evidence to suggest that the wearing of masks by the mass population has any potential benefit. In fact, there's some evidence to suggest the opposite in the misuse of wearing a mask properly or fitting it properly," WHO executive director of health emergencies Mike Ryan said Monday.”

Don't bother explaining to the simpletons that covid has been around before, yet we never implemented this with it, SARS, or other infectious diseases.

For what it is worth this was said well before amount of asymptomatic people were know. He was talking people wearing masks with the hope of not getting exposed as opposed to wearing a mask to stop asymptomatic spread.

I'm convinced most people are now wearing masks because they've gone out and bought their stylish designer masks with team logos or flower patterns on them. They want everyone to see their new purchases.
