The big misunderstanding has been that cloth/surgical masks are a community measure targeting R0 via source control, not what health-care workers need to protect themselves—different game there. Plus intubation/aerosols risk for hcw etc. For population, it's R0 dampening. /end
We cannot keep parks closed for a year. People just crowd into streets. We get worse effects. My article is pretty clear on need to make outdoors compatible with distancing and add to space (golf course, stadiums). I'd agree if this were two weeks. It's not gonna work for a year.

Jeez how about you bring this up in a few weeks when everyone isn't dying at record high rates. This is so ridiculous. Surreal, actually, that this is a conversation. I guess you must not be very close to the death that's happening all around you. My colleagues are dying.

I recall at least one paper noting a higher rate of flu transmission if you were wearing a cloth mask than no mask at all.
