IF the mask works then why social distance? If the mask works why can't family members be with dying family members or visit loved ones in care centers?

Not an either/or. The more steps you take, mask, distance, washing, the more you will do will help stop this thing. In a care center, doesn't take much to infect as there are mostly vulnerable folks in them. If I would be asymptomatic I could infect a bunch and not know it, so why take the chance? My wife's 98 year old mother is an an assisted living facility and she can't visit. It hurts but both her and her sister understand the risks to others and know even complying with the masks, distancing and washing there is a chance so they support the restrictions. More important is their mother also understands and prefers they stay away for now.
