It's too heavily politicized. DeSantis hosted a fantastic discussion featuring scientists who disagree with the hysterical response to Corona.
ND only issued a mask mandate 3 weeks ago. how do you make the estimate of missed cases and factor out the population density, transport use, etc. NY / NJ / CA do confound analysis. here’s a study from germanyhttps://twitter.com/NAChristakis/status/1334839410026799105 …

So, back to what started this from the get go... DeSantis and I want gold standard evidence - that means randomized controlled trials. Adding in the latitude effect would likely invalidate the study you linked - science based medicine requires RCTs, not case control studies.

i honestly think that’s insane. preponderance of evidence, plus direct mechanical evidence on filtration, on a respiratory disease? you can’t do a blind trial, but in kansas counties that failed to enforce the mandate had significantly increased cases, those that did, decreased
