That, in addition to survey evidence showing that people are still not wearing masks in public places, led Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for the last three decades, to advocate for a national mask mandate. Previously, Fauci has generally stopped short of saying that the American people should be required to wear masks under a mandate.
The authors of the new University of Washington study arrived at their figures by using a model based on the following assumptions:
If closer to 85% of the U.S. population wore masks in public, under the same assumptions above, the researchers calculated that 96,000 lives would be saved between September 2020 and February 2021.
In the absence of a universal mask mandate, the researchers forecast that approximately 511,000 people total will have died from COVID-19 in the U.S. by February 2021.

Can he prove it LOL. what a scientist!
Crimes against humanity. Tony Wuhan Wormhead Fauci should be swinging from the end of a rope. Zero concern for fellow humans. Nuremberg 2.0.
That’s where Tony got the idea.
Biden.
In the debate on the 22nd, Biden said he would push for a mask mandate and then the next day in a speech he said he would go to every governor or mayor and ask for a mandate.
That night, Fauci goes on CNN pushing for a mandate, for the first time even though he was previously opposed to a mandate.

Great point. If you can see the condensed breath in the cold, then the virus is going out with it, which means it can come in through those "flimsy masks". That's why medical folks use the N95 respirator or hazmat gear with it's own oxygen supply.
People just don't read or believe how small Covid virus is. That is a proven fact under a microscope. Still the basic mask can keep large airborne cough or sneeze droplets out. If someone around you has such, move away fast.
THIS! Wal-Mart, Lowe's, Kroger, Publix, Target...ye gads!
Agreed. It spreads by air through less than surgical masks. I still believe it spreads by people adjusting their masks and than touching objects; it spreads by people touching infected objects and even recently cleaned objects. You can put your sanitized items in your grocery cart and then on the counter for the cashier. Pull out your Purell/alcohol sanitize your hands while you watch the cashier move them along and box boy put them into bags. Both of them wearing gloves and masks, but who knows what those gloves have touched before dealing with your merchandise?
BTW, who packaged your items in the production facility? Who loaded and unloaded the items? Who warehoused such? Who stocked them on the shelves? Does the store clean the exit handles after every person?
Don't mean to be harsh, but you're just not getting how much hand touch is involved with this highly contagious disease. Think it through from the moment you leave your sanitized house to the moment you bring items home, and how many items you've touched. Then think for a moment how many times a day a normal person touches their face.
I stand by my assertion that Corvid is mostly transmitted by human touch. That's why I we have our sanitizing protocol. It's a hassle, but nothing enters our car nor our house without it.
Last thought: Why are the surges happening with so many wearing masks and trying to distance?
Same here, but more.
Sure but those documented superspreader events like the church choir practice were pre-mask.
Then think for a moment how many times a day a normal person touches their face.
Zero. It's a myth. But I agree with you about touching masks and the mask touching the face. Did you see Obama tear his off as he lept up on stage in Miami? Not just touching his face but balling the mask up with his hands. Did you see Joe and Jill touching their facemasks to each other's faces after the debate?
Yes hand touch from shopping is still an issue, and in certain cases more effective than spread through the air. In a supermarket there won't be air spread, the interaction time is too short. There won't be much fomite spread either, just sporadic bad luck. Certainly not superspreading. Superspreading is all by air.
