Now that it seems everyone understands the importance of wearing masks to prevent COVID spread, the Gov. of Georgia has banned cities from requiring masks. Is there any wonder this thing is out of control?
Well, to be perfectly scientific about it, there is no evidence yet that wearing masks cuts infection rates for COVID-19, nor for whom. Inductive reasoning suggests it likely will, under the right circumstances, but there's no evidence.
People like to drone on about doctors and nurses wearing masks as if that's just the very pinnacle of logic. But there is a protocol for medical professionals wearing masks, without which the mask not only fails to protect against infection, it in fact becomes a vector for it. Most people have no idea what the protocol is.
And as for your average bandanna protecting you or anyone else? Forget it.
