Which is why smoking is banned in most public spaces and workplaces, and if I see someone smoking near me I get up and leave As long as there's a pandemic, the same rules should apply to going around without a maskhttps://twitter.com/Hilding_EU/status/1329561217975906307 …

Mask do not stop this virus, people wish it would, but the scientific and empiric evidence is thin to say the least. Best defense to this virus (until vaccine is safe and available) will be every bodies immune system. Why do we not see a debate how to improve it?

The disease is borne by the moisture in your digusting breath. If you slap a mask over your mouth and nose, you make it much harder for it to spread. You see it every year when it gets cold out, so I'm telling you right now - the masks work if people use them.

You are free to believe what you want. Spanish Flu had the same hysteria here a 100 year old study: https://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/pdfplus/10.2105/AJPH.10.1.34 … And here an article on the only RTC study on masks. https://www.medpagetoday.com/blogs/vinay-prasad/89778 … The efficacy is minimal. But maybe it's higher with a strong believe in it.

RCTs of a population-wide measure like masks are impossible to ethically perform under most circumstances, and the Danish study admits it hardly proves anything since it could only happen at all at a time when the vast majority of the population wasn't masking

That said, of course, if masks don't work, that's an argument for INCREASING social distancing and lockdowns, not DECREASING them Unless you also think that staying inside your house doesn't work and the virus will magically teleport into your body no matter what you do

I do, in fact, think that to a large degree masks have in the long run enabled "lockdown fatigue" and this is a very bad sign Instagram stories showing 30 people hanging out at a house party thinking it's okay because they're all wearing masks make me very angry

See this is something I can live with. Acknowledging a possible unintended side effect and downside. This is exactly why Denmark and Sweden did not mandate them. And they are doing not too bad with their approach looking at the entire year 2020.

No, Sweden is doing fucking awful The downside of masking is that it makes people think you don't need lockdowns, and you ABSOLUTELY DO NEED LOCKDOWNS

Even wearing a mask the most important thing is not the mask but the social distancing You need to limit human contact, you need to keep to yourself as much as possible, you need to "bring the economy to a halt" There is no other way out of a pandemic
