Ok, how about ANY peer reviewed study showing the efficacy of cloth or paper masks. Because there are several showing they are ineffective.
I absolutely do not disagree — I think masks are completely ineffective against virus (surgical and cloth). I was issued a P-100 as I deal with high risk exposures daily and so were all the frontline providers in my institution.
I was simply commenting on the fact that one could not have a RCT on mask use.
We do not disagree that the use of masks does little to reduce spread of disease outside of helping people remember not to touch their face with their hands, pick their nose, or put the fingers in the mouth.
Be well. This, too, shall pass.
