"I see many posts on social media about how facemasks don't work bla bla.
Surely if doctors and nurses wear them they do?"
The reason doctors and nurses wear them (i believe) is to stop saliva going into open wounds.
Theyre not air tight so won't stop airbourne virus

And also they wear a form fitting, and more resistant material than those you see out and about 
Ordinary masks, let alone home made, are only beneficial for those exhibiting symptoms.
They don't prevent transmission, but might catch and hold some of the material that might be expelled.
