the benefits of each additional cloth mask worn by the public are conservatively in the $3,000-$6,000 range due to their impact in slowing the spread of the virus . . .

The mathematician in me cringes every time I see this sort of nonsense. There is no imaginable basis for these numbers that could possibly be anywhere near accurate. It's a lie hiding behind "statistics". As an honest statistician, that disgusts me.
