Does it influence your position on whether or not masks are useful?
- DanBC 6y agoThat paper says "when you put a mask on, and we immediately ask you to exhale onto a plate, we don't detect virus on that plate". Parent poster isn't asking whether masks trap particles or not (clearly, they do), they're asking a much more interesting and useful question which is if we make everyone wear a mask does that prevent the spread of disease or not? So far, we really don't have much evidence.
