fabric masks have very questionable efficacy. There is a lack of science. I can not even imagine how ridiculous it is for our govt in San Diego to tell us to wear bandanas if we don't have masks. If they want us to wear masks they should have them for sale in front of stores. I really don't think I should deprive people in hospitals of masks while there is a shortage. (my wife has to wear the same mask all day when she goes to work... this whole shutdown and wear a mask framework is ridiculous. Its far more about conditioning the public to follow orders than proper public policy... The masks should be going to the health care providers if they have any efficacy at all. ) https://www.livescience.com/are-face-masks-effective-reducing-coronavirus-spread.html By Stephanie Pappas - Live Science Contributor20 days ago Efficacy of face masks ... "To me, it's not harmful to wear these masks, but it doesn't look from this study like there is a whole lot of benefit," Jones said. The sample size for seasonal coronavirus was small, she said, and there was a large amount of non-mask-related variation in how much virus people emitted, particularly given that the majority of samples without masks didn't have detectable coronavirus. One thing everyone does agree on is that, whatever containment provided by non-fitted masks do provide, homemade fabric masks are the least effective. The recommendations that everyone wear masks are because "any kind of impediment is better than nothing," Chu said. But fabric masks are not expected to be as protective as surgical masks, she said. That's why public health officials are warning people to remain at least 6 feet apart from one another, even if they are wearing masks. In other words, homemade masks are likely to be just a small piece of the puzzle for controlling the COVID-19 pandemic. "There's been enough research done to be able to confidently say that masks wouldn't be able to stop the spread of infection, that they would only have a small effect on transmission," Cowling said. "We shouldn't be relying on masks to help us go back to normal."
