Good read. If masks worked, this thing would have been over months ago
People are gross and touch their faces, noses and mouths hundreds of times per day. This bug is absolutely a formite spread bug and has a proven fecal oral route as well its little wonder it’s still spreading. Fortunately theres 3 approved nearly 100% effective vaccines a forth from Novavax and the USA is sitting on a huge pile of AZ Oxford version as well. As the numbers of vaccination climbs at over a million per day the bug will simply run out of hosts and die off. Israel has already pushed there R0 under one they are on the tail end of their infection curve they will have full herd immunity by months end and be done soon after.
People keep saying that the pandemic is still going because of the number of people who don’t wear masks, but you sure can’t prove that by me.
I have not seen massive numbers or people, or many at all, who do not wear masks. It’s like a religion for most people.
