@doctor-phibes said in No Mask:
I've seen a number of people claim that masks have nothing to do with safety, and are all about government control. Just as the lockdowns were.
It's certainly hard to argue with that kind of logic.
I wouldn't say that, but there is an element of control. I think the data mines of California vs. Texas and Florida vs. New York are going to be very interesting.
I think we are going to find that masks help, but are really only effective in certain circumstances. I think we already know that fomite transmission has been nothing like we thought it would be.
I also think we are going to find out something we already know...That most masks are improperly fitted, incorrectly worn, overly saturated and are barely better than nothing. OTOH, when done right, I think certain circumstances benefit quite a bit from masking, at certain periods of the pandemic.
