Just random data on the efficacy of masks. Interpret it how you want to.

My interpretation (even though I’m mandated by my employer and job locations to wear masks) is that you are more likely to infect yourself constantly interacting with your face and hands than if you didn’t wear a mask. Also that, I believe the virus has always been airborne and even an N95 mask only provides limited protection in a contaminated environment.

I think (JMO) that “mandatory orders” for people to wear masks have led to a disastrous consequences of people ignoring other more effective measures like hand washing, avoiding crowded areas and social gatherings. But maybe after all the Swedes got it right from the beginning and all the scientific masterminds at UW, NIH, CDC, and WHO got it wrong. Time and the number of deaths over the next few years will tell.
