I’m impressed, Ed. It takes a little more intellect and a little less ego to admit to being wrong about those cloth nose burkas. Huzzah!
Now the bad news. I’ve seen at least one study (and linked to it at BB in the past!) that showed that the efficacy of N95s against ILI is the same (statically) as cloth masks.
Cloth masks are ineffective against omicron (Leanna Wen, CNN). If a M.D, and fellow leftest is not good enough for you to change your religion on nose burkas, here’s 47 studies that show, “There is moderate certainty evidence that wearing a mask probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of laboratory-confirmed influenza compared to not wearing a mask”.
just means change to N95s.
