We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection

Is their nose hanging out of their mask? Did they wear it around their chin or ear before putting it on? Are they in a sterile environment?

Define “effective.”
Two “two ply” paper towels are more effective than most masks in one study. Mask have a limited effectiveness...but they still help to slow the spread (not stop it).
However, those studies haven’t been based on a truly airborne virus (not “droplets”) . If that is how Wuhan flu is spread (which has been alluded to by Dr. F), then as I understand it, only an N95 that is properly fitted would be appropriate.
I wear a mask in public buildings with large crowds. For the most part though, it seems to be simply a placebo to minimize public anxiety.
The virus is still going to spread.

Wear your mask then and leave us alone about our decision, whatever we choose.

From the New England Journal of Medicine...

That’s just a dumb comparison. Lol
Why is "that just a dumb comparison" ?

Focusing on universal masking alone may, paradoxically, lead to more transmission of Covid-19 if it diverts attention from implementing more fundamental infection-control measures.
Layered control method including no indoors and no one within 24' if you want to stop the spread.

You’ll have to do your own research.

Is there scientific proof that it even slows the spread?
Hoping for more than just opinions to the question.

We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or even 30 minutes). The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.
Exactly.

There’s some meme about people pissing on each other going around that explains it all.
It’s super scientific.

I heard something the other day to the effect that 300,000 Coronavirus cells would fit into one hole in the fabric of an N95 mask.

Not positive. Even if it helps 20 percent why be a dick and not wear one..

Have they come back a reclarified or has any one directly refuted the paper.
