I don't think I understand your point. Are you saying that having more people wear homemade masks provides "cover" for people who wear more effective medical-grade masks? Or for people who want-to/need-to wear masks for non-medical reasons? Which is to say, unless we accept in advance that masks are effective at preventing the spread of disease, is there a reason that we would want to "normalize masks in general"?
- dgritsko 6y agoYeah, I should've made it more clear - if they aren't "effective" then it would be pointless to normalize them. Based on stuff like this[1] I happen to think that they are, although exactly how effective seems highly dependent on a number of things.
