1/ I was asked about the #covid19 hamster study.

While we are desperate for more data on the efficacy of masks in the real world, it is tough to extrapolate from hamsters in cages.

Nonetheless, I thought it was interesting.

2/ I think of masks at a population level as a matter of risk/benefit. The potential benefits far outweigh the risks.

People argue that masks may "reduce social distancing"-- this claim is not based on data, either.

I'm wearing a mask & I hope you do too.

3/ Last but certainly not least, we need better, higher filtrate, comfortable, well-fitting masks produced and deployed at scale ASAP.

You'll be hard pressed to find anyone argue that high-filtrate masks don't work.
