And then you rub your eyes as you nod off for a nap on the plane. We know that airborne transmission has been a small piece of the puzzle. But masks are visible and so the only thing we could do for security theater. And we turned the response into this virtue signaling debate. Even this thread has people bending over backwards to defend their views...that's not how science works! I do not believe that masks _increase_ mortality. But I think it's pretty clear that masks have minimal, if any, impact on transmission.

> We know that airborne transmission has been a small piece of the puzzle. Do you have a quote for this claim? Everything I read is claiming the exact opposite, that authorities overstated the contact surface transmission and that the majority of SARS-COV2 infections occur through droplets or aerosol.
