Some idiots are spreading an admittedly cute graphic claiming that 1.5% chance of transmission if both people wear masks, with 70% if only one mask is worn and not by the sick person.
SO:
no mention of how long these two people were in contact, or what proximity.
no mention of what type of mask, while the best studies show that respirators work better than medical masks, and cloth masks are worse yet.
So we have to prove to their satisfaction that the claim is BOGUS. While simultaneously admitting that if masks were really that effective, of course we'd be on board. That is one heckuva claim, and of course the burden of proof is on the one making the positive claim. Meanwhile my Governor has the audacity to claim he's "following the data" with his mask mandate. He is not!
