Masks as used by 90% of the mask wearing population which is only 40%? Of the total population dont work well*

If you feel like you should wear an N95 properly to be safe then you should do that. But let’s not pretend we can get everyone to properly wear N95s

Even improper usage of N95s give much more protection than a surgical with a mask brace.

Whether people currently wear a particular type doesn’t indicate whether they are effective.

If people knew that they actually are effective, more would wear them.

If only the CDC had not flip flopped on their mask guidance caused a complete erosion of institutional trust.

Indeed. It’s tragic.
