      Everyone's confused about masks and #COVID19, so I wrote a lot of words on all the evidence and what it means for the general public in these troubled times: You Still Probably Don’t Need A Mask For COVID-19 https://link.medium.com/l7ACYQcLj5

      Yep. It's wrong. Some of the circled "no masks" countries have masks. Also, masks alone were not a major factor for SK or Singapore

          Yep and yep. But also, the curve flattens had early testing, isolation of the ill and quarantine of the suspects. They are all experienced professionals at preparting for and dealing with an emerging respiratory virus.

          One thing I have been advising is to practice "aseptic techniques" I'm lucky & I showed my adult children what they are doing wrong, they are aware as much as I could show them, books, guess maybe something on internet,? But try & do the best U can, & please be careful

          We all know early detection, distancing, source tracing are necessary to flatten the curve. The "right" way to read this chart is to ask if there were indeed strong correlation with mask wearing for public Your answer seems to be yes.https://www.marketwatch.com/story/what-we-can-learn-from-south-korea-and-singapores-efforts-to-stop-coronavirus-in-addition-to-wearing-face-masks-2020-03-31 …

          I need to add we all know that masks should be prioritized for medical personnel use when they are in short supply. People will jump in to slaughter me if the above is not mentioned. Hahaha
