@NF16 The Danish researchers' study IS LITERALLY "experts chiming in".
Was your comment meant as a parody of the Mask Zombies?
I may struggle to detect parody sometimes.
@lololulu19 Indeed. All the masks ever did, was shift some of your airborne infectious exhale to the people on each side of you. So the person in front of you didn't get it all.
Oh and they do stop "large droplets" like spit or from coughing. But covid & flu are spread more by aerosols (your cloud of micro droplets, that masks ignore).
They don't do zero - the researchers did find a whopping 5% reduction in spread, from masking. Oh joy.
P.S. And for that: We damaged a generation of kids.
For language & social skillz, kids need to see faces. Also need in-person group activities, meaning lockdowns hurt them too.
We made a generation of kids more depressed & dysfunctional, compared to their pre-covid benchmarks.
