Depends on the material - fleece actually can increase transmission.
And potentially poor mask handling and discipline could have made transmission worse. We more or less know this isn't the case now, but didn't then.
So yes, it actually could make things worse.
- systemvoltage 6y agoThis was never expressed by the authorities, they should explain. It is a pretty iffy claim and with such a claim, you gotta have some data that invalidates decades of mask usage in hospitals.
- Dylan16807 6y agoHospitals don't use fleece. Saying that the material has an enormous impact on effectiveness doesn't invalidate anything. I mean, that's why N95 masks are so complicated and different from surgical masks, because material matters so much.
