dissenting opinion here - mask mandate was removed at a smart time. it probably reduced the number of cases. that graph would have probably looked a bit steeper.
now, cases have dropped significantly. vulnerable populations have already been mostly vaccinated. at this point the masks only serve as a reminder to be afraid.
got any studies handy related to that? i'd love to read them
spez: there's a ton out there that say it significantly reduces the quantity of microdroplets or whatever in there. obviously, this is in a controlled laboratory setting. would like to see some stuff compiled from real world scenarios

It's not totally clear what you mean, but the massive & overwhelming preponderance of evidence shows no benefit to mask usage.
