Doesn't she worry at all that the consensus breaking moment she is talking about is exactly where everything went wrong? That she pushed policy in a crucially destructive direction?
If the pandemic is airborne than the virus particles will go straight through the masks will they not? They are far smaller than the holes in the masks. The argument for masks was that they stopped droplets.
Great work Zeynip! And saying your full name is so much fun.
Doesn't she worry at all that the consensus breaking moment she is talking about is exactly where everything went wrong? That she pushed policy in a crucially destructive direction?
But she was right, and the consensus was largely wrong.
Does it look like she was right? Does it look like what we have done has worked?
I'm not sure how we'd know, unless you have a handy second universe with which to run a controlled experiment.
But I think it's hard to conclude that getting people to wear masks in an airborne pandemic is the wrong move.
