Sure but it’s all about quantifying that accurately so that it can be compared to for example better building ventilation. If, hypothetically, better ventilation had 100x the effect of mask wearing, then focusing attention on masks would be counter productive no? Make no mistake I’m pro mask but mostly for psychological, ethical and economic reasons. I feel their benefits in terms of personal protection are vastly overstated, often in bad faith by those with a desire to impact other people’s behavior albeit with the best of intentions.
- eloff 5y agoWhy can't you do both? Mask wearing is simple, cheap, and available to all. That's like asking if it's better to focus on masks or vaccines. The answer is both. As long as it's even marginally effective (and evidence suggests it's more than marginally effective) then it is a good idea.
