So face masks, eye protection and social distancing are pretty darn effective.
I continue to be frustrated how poorly these scientists explain themselves.
I looked and can't figure out what they are saying about various types of masks. Which was the same problem we had before. Surgeon general went from "stop buying masks" (when intending N95s) to "always wear a mask" (when intending hoe made and bandanas).
While any mask is better than none, how significant is the difference between N95 vs. commercial surgical mask vs. home made mask vs. bandana?
I've trended towards thinner/looser so it is more comfortable and won't fog my glasses. But I wonder if those masks are pretty weak sauce.
Did you read the study? They address a few types of masks.
Scientists don't make the sound bites, which is why a large portion of Americans don't trust repeated, verified studies.
i'm pretty sure the who has recently advertised masks aren't worth it or necessary if you're not healthcare or sick.
and did the same in april.
how is it that any novice is supposed to respect any kind of advice or study to the contrary?
they are the world health organization.
oh... havent updated, i've got tons of links, some that are funny as hell... including adult film chief scientists...the lancet hcq study is now fully flammable
the who stopped studies, changed policies in a number of countries (ok, maybe a half dozen even went with them)... now reversing themselves and nejm, the who (and even now the lancet!!!), are "concerned" about what might be (is) fraudulent data. so many voters disappointed, at least for now.
oh... the lancet chief editor is a trump hater. so glad we could merge politics with healthcare from the healthcare side. you know, for balance.
