I give it 5 years from now when it is no longer politically intolerable that studies will come out and admit that masks and social distancing did absolutely nothing to slow or prevent infection.
- ben_w 5y agoConsidering that one year ago the general advice was not to bother with masks, this would be a surprising 360.
- Karunamon 5y agoThat advice was intentionally deceptive. It was based on not having a mass run on PPE needed by healthcare workers, not medical science or safety. It also likely led to more deaths due to the revelation that it was a lie, and people treating any further advice (which was actually medically sound) with the same kind of cynical skepticism used for liars. Rejection of masks wasn't much of a thing before this happened.
