I hesitate to say this because I'm not an expert but yeah... Everything I'm looking at says that masks would've made a substantially bigger difference, at very little cost, compared to the things we did emphasize at the time (handwashing, social distancing)https://twitter.com/laurenthehough/status/1271974941580238848 …

Just letting the droplets spew everywhere willy-nilly and then intervening downstream is so perverse Let people spray into the air while talking all you want, just make sure you're standing six feet back Just wash your hands frequently in case you touched something they touched

I'm really angry about this Like, the main thing I wish we'd done is centralized quarantine, but okay, yes, that's a lot of money to move around in a short time You gotta put someone in charge of getting rooms to keep everyone and take care of them

How much does it cost to just tell everyone "Take an old T-shirt and wrap it around the lower half of your face"

I seem to remember a lot of the early discourse talking about how relatively useless the masks were at protecting yourself, and it wasn't until later that I started seeing things about "protecting others".

Even the first part is kind of ugly propaganda Like that's not actually true, they do make a pretty significant difference They wouldn't help you if you were living life like normal and just sitting chatting with people and having them exhale at you all day from across a table
