      For health care workers, cloth masks *increase* risk of infection compared to no mask in a randomized controlled trial. @zeynep ? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4420971 …

      Cloth masks resulted in more infections than both medical masks and the control group (standard practice).pic.twitter.com/i7gT9QUv9e

      Yes standard practice is medical masks. Of course cloth masks are worse than *medical* masks. Read your tweet again.

      I don’t want to gainsay you, but there were three conditions: medical masks, cloth masks & ‘standard procedures', which (sometimes) includes masks. Cloth masks had the most ILI infections.pic.twitter.com/I5O2IBKKSd

      NOT COMPARED TO NO MASKS. Of course cloth masks are not better than medical masks, and they are more prone to infections etc. especially in medical settings. I don't think I can keep repeating this.

          people seem to be totally irrational regarding what is a clear and indisputable fact... it is so odd that so many are so avidly against masks? This is the second post I have seen where someone clearly doesnt understand basic synthesis of info in a study.

          My mom used cloth masks when she was an RN working w/ infectious patients. The handling protocol was very strict - she could still repeat it to me step x step. It worked. She made six cloth masks (w/modern filters added) for herself to use when she can't avoid leaving the house.
