Friends, as you know I've advocated #masks for long time. Certainly longer thn @CDCgov & people at my... place of employment.
Qualitatively, I believe they work. How much they protect is hard to quantify, however.
Today, saw something thought provoking in this vein.

Anti-masker in inbox wondered what we say in a year, when (in his words/imagination of future), consensus changes against masks.

I was here when they said it was nothing.
~ when... it was no worse than flu.
~ when... it would "only" kill 100,000.
The latest is that "masks won't stop it". It *is* hard to quantify #mask effect — but, I'm sorry but I can't endorse that.
I'm just not that kind of asshole.

And for the record, just in case it wasn't obvious, I don't share the idea that we will change tack on masks in a year.
I'm saying that not everything that's important is easily quantifiable.
