      Nope. Nobody is able to say how much they slow the spread or how many cases they prevent. The hypothesis actually doesn't even make sense, which is why masks are not rated as PPE for viruses or pandemic control.

      Sneeze with a mask on and then off. See if it is the same. And if that doesn't answer 100% of your confusion, you have some kind of problem I can't identify.

      Yes, masks prevent already infected people from spraying sputum a certain distance. IOW, the mask is only doing anything if you're already infected. The virus is already endemic and the mask can only theoretically slow the rate of spread. But nobody knows by how much if at all.

      So masks do indeed prevent infected people from spraying droplets around (which is why masks are mandated). Studies even from the '90s, pre-covid, found that wearing masks reduces the risk of viral spread. So why claim they do nothing?

      The masks only work, theoretically, on the already infected. Which means the virus is already endemic. There is no measurable reduction in rate that anyone can discern and no reduction in the number of cases. Mask studies are inconclusive, which is why Lancet says low certainty.

      You use the term "endemic"... I don't think it means what you think it means. The point is: someone is infected & goes to the shop. They cough droplets on products others pick up. With a mask, there's far less droplets flying around, infecting less people. Fact.

      So the mask only works, if at all, on already infected people. The effect can only be some reduction in the rate of spread. And that's exactly what's showing up. Zero correlation between mask use and case counts, and no one can say by how much it's slowing rate if at all.

      1/2 Since day one, people have been banging on about this: YES the point of masks is so that those who are infected, but mild- to asymptomatic don't endanger others (getting the R value below 1). The claim has NEVER been that masks prevent healthy people from getting infected.

      2/2 There is most definitely a correlation between mask wearing and case counts. South Korea was one of the first countries to report cases, has NOT gone into lockdown, and still hasn't hit 100k cases. The policy was: MASKS + track & trace. Deal with it.

      So 26.2M cases later in the US, what is mask-wearing supposed to do?

          I just told you this: reducing the R value to get it below 1. As long as each infected person on average infects 1 or more other people, the situation is under control (and each infection increases the risk of new variants emerging, causing further problems).

          Is there anywhere in the US where cases have gone down after mask mandates? At 26M cases, it looks endemic to me.

          It's interesting how people on both extremes of this issue seem to have a problem seeing this as a risk management issue. I think some people see any chance of contagion as an indicator that an activity shouldn't be done, full stop.

          Tweets aren't conducive to nuance. I have mentioned South Korea, where no lockdown was introduced. I'm as tired of lockdowns as anybody, and with the right precautions, they can be done away with at this point. Wearing a mask in a shop is part of that. That's all
