Though I have no platform, if I did, I won’t communicate that universal masking will definitely stop the spread. That message might actually be counterproductive and might lead people to falsely believe they are safe.
I should have picked my words better. I should have said that if we wear masks anytime we are within 6 feet of someone we don't live in the same residence as, we will significantly reduce the spread. With anything viral I don't know if we can 100% stop the spread.
How I feel about masks:
1. If I go into a room with 20 people (not able to be 6' apart) and I'm the only one wearing a mask, my odds of getting the virus have not decreased a significant amount.
2. If I go into a room with 20 people (not able to be 6' apart) and half of the people are wearing a mask, my odds of getting the virus have decreased
3. If I go into a room with 20 people (not able to be 6' apart) and everyone in the room is wearing a mask, my odds of getting the virus have decreased greatly.
