Oh my god, of course we know the answer to this! Masks work! People pointed to the experience of East Asia, that wasn't enough. So we got some published studies proving it, now that's somehow not enough either. At least remember to wear a mask as you shift the goal posts.https://twitter.com/maggiekb1/status/1247311559317057537 …

There's a ton of stuff about this crisis where we're making decisions in the face of uncertainty, but masks ain't it. The only reason for confusion was dismissiveness of East Asia and a failure to adequately explain that you wear a mask to protect people around you, not yourself.

It takes a while to get this point. My girlfriend (who had the foresight to order masks, I didn't) had to beat it into me. But I implore you to be less thick-headed than I was. I wrote this in case it helps expedite your conversion on this lifesaving issue https://idlewords.com/2020/04/let_s_all_wear_a_mask.htm …

Replying to @Pinboard
I admire the agility that allowed you to shift from being beat into it by your girlfriend to authoring and posting thousands of words imploring others to do it. Fast-moving times call for fast-changing opinions.
