I read that paper, and thought the scenario wasn't realistic. Still was good to see a modeling. Self-infection? Already infected. Touching face? How can it be worse than touching without masks? Incorrect doffing? How could it be worse than no masks if just doffing is that loaded?
I really care about this because, especially early-on, harms could have been the only plausible argument against more masking. We knew the false sense of confidence argument was baseless, and opposite would likely be true. Looked hard but couldn't find of any medical scenarios.
(Still open if anything comes up! I keep looking at the scenarios to imagine a plausible harm. Blocks lip-reading is all I got so far—and hence face shields should get more research).
