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 …

I don't understand. We know that touching your face is bad and covering coughs and sneezes is good. A mask accomplishes all of this. This seems obvious at this point

There's some kind of performative epistemological uncertainty that has become the savvy stance in the Western press over this. They are also afraid of just baldly pointing out that we got the worst advice on this from public health authorities for months.

I was also wrong before. The advice has always been to wear one if you're sick but with so many asymptomatic cases, you must assume that everyone is sick. Even by the old logic, we should be wearing masks.

Exactly! The answer was there the whole time, even in the messaging by the people who thought they were arguing the opposite.
