I know you're frustrated. It can't be easy.

Maybe you should get out among the people. Make some new friends and rekindle some old relationships.

A charismatic evangelical gathering, perhaps. Or maybe just a good old-fashioned night out at a club with the young ladies.

You deserve it.

I wouldn't be caught dead doing any of those things

Ron DeSantis says a mask mandate is "... probably the most significant threat to freedom in my lifetime."

Dagan McDowell of Fox belittled a double mask mandate. She sneered and  basically said if one mask doesn't work; why would 2?

It is called science. A layered cloth or paper mask  provides an effective barrier for respiratory droplets that can carry the virus that causes covid-19. More layers are better, hence double masking.

Ordinary cloth or paper masks have limited value as protection, because they don't block the airborne virus. However, they still reduce the risk of contracting covid from inhaling respiratory droplets. Also, they are thought to be effective at preventing the spread of the virus by infected people, before it can become airborne.

why stop at 2?  why not 20?  That would be even more effective right?

You're not really this stupid.  So, why are you acting like it?

This is what your hero the orange cheeto would say.

I don't think it's possible to put on 20 masks.

Here's my stance.  If I want to go to a business, or anywhere else, and they ask me to wear a mask, I'll wear a fucking mask.  It's really not a big deal.

These fucking morons, I swear.

That is called the reductio ad absurdum
fallacy.

"... also known as "reducing to an absurdity." It involves characterizing an opposing argument in such a way that it seems to be ridiculous, or the consequences of the position seem ridiculous."

http://www2.humboldt.edu/act/HTML/tests/fallacy6/6.8a.html

Yours is not a particularly good example. As someone else noted, wearing 20 wouldn't even be practical.

Double masking actually has an additional advantage besides the extra layers of filtration. It also "creates a better seal."

Not all combinations work:

The CDC recommends "layering a cloth mask over a surgical mask."

Also:
 
"avoid combinations of the following:
two surgical masks
a KN95 and any other type of mask"

no, these very profitable hospitals should plan better
These "very profitable hospitals" <citation needed> literally were part of an infrastructure giving out vaccines for free, and they have been telling people how to avoid this exact scenario for a year and a half.
