For nearly two years face masks have been recommended as one of the front line defenses against infection with SARS-CoV-2. Until now, most of the evidence behind this recommendation has been based on measurements in scientific experiments under laboratory conditions or information from investigation of particular events. Thus, some people have questioned whether face masks can be effective under real-world conditions. Now, for the first time, a study from California shows that they are.
Face masks are a nuisance. They are uncomfortable. They prevent us from seeing one another’s facial expressions, interfering with communication and the interpersonal connections that are so important for well-being through these last two years. Moreover, we know face masks aren’t perfect. Still, they might be good enough to make the inconvenience worthwhile. In my opinion, this study shows that they are.
