"expected to be the same" is simply not true. Even simple models like the one described at https://youtu.be/k6nLfCbAzgo?t=920 https://youtu.be/k6nLfCbAzgo?t=92

"expected to be the same" is simply not true.
Even simple models like the one described at https://youtu.be/k6nLfCbAzgo?t=920 https://youtu.be/k6nLfCbAzgo?t=920 (I point to the relevant part) shows that reducing the infection rate can also lead to fewer overall deaths.
- Gibbon1 6y agoUCSF's grand rounds last week discussed the observation that when there are outbreaks it appears that without masks the asymptomatic rate is 40% of those infected. With masks it appears to be 85%. Or to flip it around without masks 60% have symptoms. With masks only 15% do.
- throwmeaway_pls 6y agoOkay, okay, I’m as down with the science as anybody but those numbers sound a lot like cherry-picking. They also don’t jive with the info that’s trickled out suggesting that a plurality of infections are happening in the home, at restaurants, or while attending unmasked gatherings.
