That’s true for me also...provided the person already agreed with the scientific premise. I have not found a way - at least in the current era - to actually change a mind by relying on the science. Perhaps I’m just too cynical, but I do not see anyone else doing that either

Important is what they ARE suggesting. Wear them if you can't distance.

It would be soooo helpful if each provincial government, or the big one, distributed at least one non-medical mask to every last citizen.

Evidence that supports my skepticism that the public will be able to properly wear a mask. Only ~13% passed visual mask fit test. This could negate any theoretical benefits.https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2766070?utm_source=silverchair&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=article_alert-jamanetworkopen&utm_content=wklyforyou&utm_term=052020 …
