Where are the randomized controlled trials showing the efficacy of cloth or paper masks? The only peer reviewed studies I’ve seen say they are ineffective.
GMTA ... :-)
Also....the Govs keeping their state’s establishments on perpetual lock down always mention “science” and “metrics”.....
My question....
What do the metrics have to be, for 100% OPENING UP??
They NEVER tell you THAT.
Just out of curiosity who would you perform a randomized and blinded study wherein people wear a mask — by definition you can see who is in what group which would lead to bias.
As others have pointed out, this is a technical term that few people understand.
Yup. masks are a political not a scientific construct.
