        For those who don't get why I used "Masquerade": it comes from "mask".pic.twitter.com/xlJXomWMZQ

        I’m a big fan of your work. Specially “Skin in the game”. Would be nice to see you start publishing your work with decentralised media platforms with $HIVE blockchain rather than medium

        A pandemic isn't a vacation, you can't plan it all in advance. Just wear it until we don't need to.

        You're an idiot. Drinking alcohol brings no systemic risk.

        A DIY-mask does very little harm to those wearing it (maybe skin irritations and a getting a reputation for being a litte paranoid) compared to the potential benefit during a pandemic. It was a (nearly) free option but WHO didnt see the optionality.

        Very good Nassim. Just one tiny suggestion: Need to distinguish the amount by which a mask protects the wearer from the amount by which it protects others from the wearer. The latter effect is much stronger than the former. So even if both are wearing, can't just multiply effect.

        Actually it is even < than p^2 because the conditional p for the noninfected person is even lower.
