Masks are NOT a fool proof solution. Why do people think mask wearing removes all risk? Masks are just one component. Packed crowds in 90 degree heat with yelling and plenty of physical contact are just as worthy of scrutiny.
Now for my generally useless tidbit, In my city it was very hot and humid during the early summer protests. Mask compliance was probably about 50/50, with most of the folks not complying were wearing them incorrectly or taking them on and off repeatedly. Demonstrators used the time as an opportunity to socialize and share meals, with lots of incidental physical contact.
- kube-system 6y agoWho said masks removes all risk? The data and official guidance I have seen supports the idea that masks (and being outdoors) significantly reduces risk.
- crisdux 6y agoI interpreted the comment I replied to suggest that masks remove a lot of the risks by itself. Is that not a fair reading of that comment? The data I've seen suggests that being outdoor reduces risks, I have not need any data or studies that compare being outdoor with or without a mask. I'd love to read your studies if you have them.
