Totally on board with the mask wearing as it is all upside no real downside, but this doesn’t feel to me to be a rigorous test, partitions are not the same as a mask directly on the face.

Is there even a debate still in US? In Czech Rep. and Poland we all wear them now. I am sure much more European countries are wearing them as well. It's interesting how difficult it is to convince people to do something mildly inconvenient in order to stop the disease spread.

Not saying it doesn't work but this study was done on hamster and the only single study that proponents ever point out to..... No one could do a more expansive and thorough study on this?? Anders Tegnell has criticized this study along with his peers who belive its insufficient.

This reveals extraordinarily little about the actual effectiveness of masks in the real world. This is like assuming all bodies are perfect frictionless spheres.

Imagine that.
