User error in literally all of this — the gearing up, the hand-washing, the 6-foot gap, all of it. Masks were always going to be much more effective if everyone wore them, placing two barriers between infected and uninfected. Instead, noone does. *That* is stupid.

No, because those studies have not yet been done, but it explores some of the risks and prior studies done on other respiratory diseases including influenza. It's not risk-free as some are portraying.
What do you mean by "risk-free" in this context? Because you just strongly implied that mask-wearing increases the risk of acquiring a disease, and that's *really* irresponsible without clarification.

Hard to parse limited and somewhat contradictory research. Harm reduction is not a meaningless strategy. While people crowd in a COSTCO masks will probably provide incomplete protection, but in many cases with education, controls, protocols to doff and clean it seems worthwhile.

If people reduce social distancing because they think a mask filters out virus and then they remove it and touch themselves and others that is risky. If they wear it for short duration and follow other recommendations, remove it carefully and disinfect then it could be good.
