Or, maybe, there could be trials where we experiment and find out?
Or we could analyze past data, to see if counties where people worse masks in the lobby of restaurants had lower transmission of Covid than counties where they didn't?
If I go into a crowded restaurant and wait for 30 minutes for my table, I come within about 6 feet of about 30 people. When I sit at my table for an hour, I come within about 6 feet of about 3 people (server, and the person who brings drinks, and the person who brings food.) Especially if there are dividers between tables.
I'm not claiming wearing a mask in the lobby reduces transmission to zero. But I can easily imagine how it reduces transmission some.
And yet, others are claiming that no one could possibly imagine how wearing masks in the lobby of a restaurant could possibly reduce transmission.
You and I can talk about whether we believe wearing masks in the lobby reduces transmission.
I'm tired of people claiming there's "no scientific basis" (or something similar) for masks helping, or for there to be long-term implications of Covid, or anything else, really - especially when they're not an expert.
