That is, as usual, a basket of low-quality studies that suggest that surgical masks may(!) decrease infection. In other words, scant evidence, just like I said

In other words, scant evidence, just like I said. The difference is in the branding.
- Erlich_Bachman 6y ago> basket of low-quality studies In what way are they low-quality? They are basically as good of a quality as the ethical considerations allow any studies to be made in this area (it's not like you can make an RCT that actively tries to infect participants to study how well the virus does). In what context are you using the word "scant" here? What kind of practical (realistic) evidence would even satisfy your judgement here as "non-scant"?
- swader999 6y agoIt's good enough evidence to act on. Obvious that masks reduce viral load.
