Circa 2020, the evidence masks worked for medical professionals was pretty unambiguous, but the issue with masks is think about taking them on and off. You practcially touch your hand to your face every time. Because of this, it has always been less clear that John Q Public pulling their mask aside to talk on the phone or sips a cup of coffee with their reusable mask is doing themselves or anybody else any favours. I think though that it’s extremely obvious that it’s very likely the general public could take certain actions to make the efficacy of their mask use similar to that of medical professionals, but the interpretation of the data early on was simply “the general public shouldn’t use masks”. This was obviously nonsense, and I interpreted the data as meaning I should carefully use masks.
