What we know about wearing a mask against Covid-19 now

July 5, 2020

Seeing comments about people still thinking masks don't work. Heard an interview with Fauci about this today. We have leaned more than we did in the beginning about the fact that masks are helpful. Also, there was confusion about what doctors were saying. For one thing, at the beginning, there was a shortage of masks for medical personnel, where the need was urgent, and a shortage of masks, so they needed to be kept for medical personnel. Also, the message that masks are not 100% effective, so you need to also take other precautions, got morphed int a message that masks didn't work at all.
