What's happening here? Does this masks thing really make sense, scientifically? Yes, it does! Here's 34 scientific papers that all point to the same thing: masks (even home made ones) really work to dramatically reduce the spread of covid-19. tiny.cc/maskswork

I think you need to follow the process of doing a systematic review and grade the studies and synthesize, instead of just listing the 34, until that is done, I am unconvinced. China has a lot more other measures in place apart from forced use of masks that reduced cases.

This is too simplistic. From the jump, the CDC has said if you are infected, you should wear a mask. What the mask doesn't protect you from is breathing in the virus.

Like any PPE, masks only work as well as the training of the person using them. The average person doesn't understand all the ways that masks can be rendered useless. Next time you go out, look at how many people pull the mask down to their chin to speak and then put it back.
