Masks probably cut transmission risk by 90% for a 15-minute grocery store foray.

I’ve had seven respiratory reactions after about 60 store visits.

Masks are a risk reduction tool.

Police cut crime but don’t eliminate it.

‘Masks probably cut transmission risk by 90% for a 15-minute grocery store foray.’

you are aware, I’m sure, that unless someone within a few feet of you has a coughing or sneezing jag, or starts belting out a Broadway tune, (and then only if the ejector is himself infected to begin with), you are not going to become infected by walking amongst unmasked shoppers......

do people typically go on sneezing or coughing fits on your supermarket visits...?

“Masks probably cut transmission risk by 90% for a 15-minute grocery store foray.”

Evidence? ANY?!

Asymptomatic people cause less than 1% of transmissions. And who spends 30 minutes in close proximity to someone in a grocery store? And that assumes a mask can actually DO something!

Masks catch the globs that would fall to the ground anyways. They have no effect on aerosols, although they direct the flow of air up past the eyes instead of down toward the ground.
