repeatedly called for the use of masks in indoor settings...they made no mention of what type, or how 'expertly' they were employed...forgive me for getting too causal with my words, but I was hoping you'd get the picture...a simple act of wearing a mask was enough for the authors to observe - through a highly technical and scientific process, btw - that doing so produced an 'Order of Magnitude' reduction in COVID transmission...simple as that.
The MedPage article buttresses that MIT observation...in fact, I detected a possible reference to it in it's verbiage.
Bottom Line...this is a very serious pandemic that needs literally everyone to do whatever they can to thwart its transmission through the populace...masking has been shown to be remarkably effective (see above) and it's incredibly easy to implement...so why on earth do you spend one moment trying to undermine its usage?...what's the 'Upside' benefit of that?...please answer.
