Yesterday we told you about Dr. Fauci announcing that wearing two masks might be better than just one. But should it stop at just two masks?
On the CNBC program hosted by former Fox News host Shep Smith, the “science” envelope was pushed even further when viewers were informed that the idea of two masks might be expanded for extra protection:

That’s right — triple masks!
We’re now descending into some sort of satirical simulation:

Here's the full CNBC report from former Fox News host Shep Smith and former CBS/MSNBC/NBC correspondent and host Contessa Brewer about the greatness of not just double-masking, but triple-masking.

Can four or five masks be far away? The evolution of all this has been amazing:
Masks don't work don't buy them.
Ok masks work but first responders need them so don't buy them.
Actually masks work, you should use them.
Everyone should mandate masks.
Masks should even be worn in your home.
Two masks are better than one.
No one saw this coming? https://t.co/SSjsIWszYb

If 3 gets you to 90% what does 6 get you to? Why did they stop at the absurd 3 mask? https://t.co/eneZzFCaAH

Brewer then cleared things up… at least maybe a little bit:
In my report-I was clear- researchers suggest triple masking raises the protection for the wearer. I'm personally am just happy if people wear one mask, over their mouth/nose, & not down on their chin while glaring at me- as though my mask (or story) is a personal insult. https://t.co/wnnUeEsNII
