Except that was months ago when we knew little about it. Scientists have been recommending everyone wear masks for some time now and several studies show their efficacy.

I mean, all those articles name scientists? But okay, fine: UC San Francisco epidemiologist George Rutherford, MD, infectious disease specialist Peter Chin-Hong, MD, Philip Anfinrud, Ph.D., Valentyn Stadnytskyi, Ph.D.

There haven't been studies on the efficacy of those types of face coverings, and if they don't wear them at home (which is usually the case, as far as I know), or if they are only one layer, or if they touch their face, etc. Also, not all Muslim women dress like that.

Did the government not suggest you could make your own face covering? Why would they suggest that if they don't work? https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/coronavirus/face-masks-disposable-gloves.html …pic.twitter.com/RJd71ch870

I never said cloth masks don't work, I said that niqabs haven't been tested for efficacy. And as I said, if other things like no social distancing, transmission at home, etc would affect that.

I'm literally wearing a cloth mask in my photo, lol. But this idea that, oh countries where women cover their faces have been hit with covid too as some kind of gotcha is nonsense.
