WG -- I know the IHME projections are sub-optimal. But better than having nothing when trying to make decisions in the middle of the battle.
So FWIW, they project 538 daily deaths at September 1 on our current path. Versus 96 per day if we go universal masks.
So let's go with Little Marco -- wear the darn mask!!
Especially since there's zero downside of wearing masks. Unless you think like Petey Cry Wolf Gator Troll Boy Brown.
Since PCWGTBB thinks masks are the preferred tool of the TDS FLPs to bring about their preferred totalitarian extermination of all freedom in the USA. But then he also believes George Floyd died of other causes. Gross. Stupid. Predictable.
as i don't think i'll be swaying anyone's decisions and only really risk the ire of the experts on fanlax... the downside isn't zero.
the WHO says so.
there are at least several + "potential" issues with masks and frankly there wouldn't have been all the waffling with major health orgs if that wasn't the case.
that said, i jump in the mask doggy pile for a preponderence of evidence and yeah... if any and all of us want to argue for laws as well as freedoms within reason we should at least try to be on board unless it's a cause worth rebellion.
your crazy modeling guys at ihme notwithstanding.
to me, it is much more a matter of behavior (which can include masks). our behavior will set the direction.
