      I'm a co-author (one among many) on this new paper reviewing and synthesizing the strong scientific evidence for how universal masking can reduce transmission (source control) and greatly dampen the spread of COVID-19. It's under review. Preprint here: https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202004.0203/v1 …pic.twitter.com/Q6CFBfUNgc

      It was an honor to work with so many amazing people on something so important. Check out the team. Also look at this graph modeling the combination of mask efficacy and compliance. (But read the paper! We go through many issues in a realistic overview). https://twitter.com/jeremyphoward/status/1249809098079637512 …pic.twitter.com/Khk49I8gmk

      I want to add a note on how amazing the preprint experience has been. We've received *a lot* of critical feedback. Right now official peer-review is backed up everywhere due to high-volume of papers. But there is also such robust open discussion. Final paper will greatly benefit.

      Just like everything else, there is a lot of not-so-useful feedback (the simplest things that we've obviously thought of and addressed) but also really harsh but on-point stuff. Things we overlooked, a paper that was cited incorrectly, interesting, challenging points to ponder.

          Seeing the sausage made makes some people queasy! How can they be right if they cited a paper incorrectly? (We did!) In reality, everyone makes mistakes, small or big, and the only thing you can trust is a process that tries to spot and fix them. Nobody, no team is infallible.

          And here's the part that just makes me so happy. When we receive criticism, this team's response has been: hah, let's check, are they right, does this need improvement, let's go look at that, let's recalculate, let's add a clarification... As it should be. Iterative improvement.
