      My understanding is that the main method of transmission is hand to face, but I’m not an epidemiologist and neither are most people giving advicehttps://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1244078706261360640 …

      The mask misinformation has gotten so bad that many people don't realize this is a RESPIRATORY ILLNESS. The main method of transmission is EXHALATION/INHALATION. People are bleaching cardboard boxes and then going shopping/to work without masks. (screenshot, not blaming person). pic.twitter.com/uH5s06dpVR

      I don't blame you but there is no controversy over this: it's a respiratory disease. The misinformation around masks has so many people confused.

      You don't need a PhD in epidemiology to understand breathe in, breathe out. It's common sense.

      Nor do you need a PhD in epidemiology to understand that 1) soap & water destroy the virus, 2) don't touch your face, 3) socially isolate, 4) keep your physical distance — masks not included, excect for medical personnel

      All that's great. But all countries that have this under control also wear masks, practically everyone. And their health authorities mandate/rec them and governments distribute them. The scientific evidence is overwhelming, too. We got caught in a very weird trap in the West.

      It's just insane the false projection of 'experts'. The experts globally disagree, and you can peruse media in #SouthKorea that completely contradicts this position.

      Authorities in South Korea constantly announce that everyone should wear masks. It's announced everywhere, and masks are distributed by the government so the whole population has it. (Yep common to every country that has this under control).

          Well, I live in Canada, not South Korea. The curve in British Columbia is already starting to slow

          I'm from #Vancouver. You are speaking of a supply issue not a safety issue.
