My friend whose husband is a physician in TX said he supports this bc he believes aerosolized virus can be transmitted through cloth masks. I didn’t really know what to say to that, given the robust data we have at this point.
I feel like we are ALL READY FOR THIS TO BE OVER AND BE ABLE TO RETURN TO A NORMAL LIFE... but like you said - this is just pushing our chances out by months... Please wear your mask! Please stay home if you can, if you are out and about please keep a distance between others. Of course if you're reading this blog, none of this probably needs to even be said because we're fighting on the same team (those of us who are trying to use science and evidence to move past all of this). YLE - thank you for all you do!
