I need someone to explain this to me: the concern was that mandating masks would reduce the confidence that things higher on the hierarchy of controls were not effective. Well, let’s see:
They did not eliminate SARS-CoV-2 from workplaces, so that level is infective 1/

They couldn’t replace SARS-CoV-2 with a less harmful virus, so Substitution is ineffective 2/
They didn’t ensure the ventilation and filtration of air was optimized to remove SARS-CoV-2 and plexiglass barriers installed do not sufficiently block aerosols, so engineering controls are ineffective 3/
Their administrative controls were social distancing, sanitizing surfaces and handwashing, which are not super helpful for airborne contaminants, so that was ineffective 4/
It seems like concerns that those controls were ineffective would have been *true*. That means implementing PPE to protect workers?
Oh, they didn’t do that… because they preferred that workers not be alerted that the higher levels of controls were insufficient? Seems bad. /end

*ineffective… but also infective 🙃
