I'm sure many ET members including the Covidiots have been to the hospital at least once in their lifetime or have had surgery, been in the delivery room of their child or had a family member that had that experience at a hospital...all prior to the Pandemic.
- They must have wondered why Doctors & Nurses wore a medical face mask, especially during surgery or the birth of their child !!!
- It's to minimize (not 100% prevention) the risk of infecting a patient with bacteria or a virus that could result in a life-threatening infection. It would be a multi-million dollar lawsuit (expense) to that hospital if a patient were to die from a Doctor or Nurse infecting the patient.
Each and every time...the Doctors and nurses wore face masks just as worn by anyone else for many decades since the 1918 Influenza Pandemic.
Unfortunately, during the Covid Pandemic...too many people wore their own face masks (custom-made), wore a handkerchief around their face when they were out in public, or they did not wear one at home when they were exposed to an infected family member/friend to later then complain that face masks do not work.
Thus, they still were infected.
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed to depth of unhealthy habits in the global population and the weaponization of social media against public safety for just about anything not related to the Pandemic.
Also, I lived in Asia for several years. Face-masking is a normal way of life long before the Pandemic because of the pollution problem. It's not 100% worn by everyone but there have been many studies over several decades in Asia that show face-wearing minimizes illnesses and diseases caused by Pollution.
Yet, it's funny to see people in the winter in Canada, France, or the United States on a very cold winter day...there's no hesitation to wrap a scarf around their face when outdoors to protect their face from cold air...
It's funny to see the same people attack face mask wearing especially the ones I know that have been in the hospital or experienced the birth of their child...they did not have any issues then about face mask wearing nor any outcries of "invasion of my freedom".
Sadly, we still have not learned to politicize a health crisis...the results are more deadly than countries that did not politicize a health crisis.
The guy below (not an idiot) in the image understands that Asbestos removal requires covering up the three key portals into his body (eyes, nose/mouth, and ears). Simply, wearing a face-mask around something that's deadly...it's just one piece of the puzzle.
Personally, I wore face-masks & goggles during the Covid Pandemic when out in public...never at home. I did it for many reasons, once was hospitalized with a deadly infection (almost died in 2016) and experienced living in Asia for a few years.
Thus, I let the Covidiots increase their risks while I do what it takes to minimize my risks especially when I'm also protecting my family members.
Those students should be grateful they were not required to wear face-masks, goggles, ear protection, and to wash their hands for a few weeks. I'm willing to bet the below guy didn't have any problems wearing a face-mask in the Covid Pandemic. 
People do not need to have a medical degree nor do you need to be a rocket scientist.
If there's an outbreak of a virus in your community, at the minimum, wear a damn face-mask especially at a University because we all know that Parents will sue the daylights out of a University if their college student develops a simple cough.
Also, the University is not asking students to stay in the dorms for remote learning during the 2 weeks of mask-wearing when indoors in other campus buildings.
Students are very smart...they'll hang out outside (not indoors) to avoid the face-mask wear requirement for the few weeks until the outbreak has passed while the real idiots go on social media to continue weaponizing the spread of Covid.
