But, as the article says, when we study this we find a bunch of other things happening that are probably more important. These include symptomatic people self isolating; people more willing to comply with social distancing; better hand washing; earlier close-down; etc.
- woodandsteel 6y agoIt doesn't matter if some other things are more important. If it is helpful, then it should be included in policies. Do you agree? And this matters because in the US and an a number of other countries, a large proportion of people refuse to wear face masks, and the government doesn't mandate them, and that is bad. And the people who refuse to wear face masks usually also refuse to follow some or all of the other measures. We are talking about a whole bundle of measures here.
