It is, in fact, counterproductive, if anyone who reads it thinks that it means wearing a surgical mask in public will protect them.

The article is making a complicated argument: if everyone wears a mask in public, then sick people will not be embarrassed if they also wear a mask in public. And it is the sick people who need to wear masks, to protect others.


Nothing confusing about ""Make masks ubiquitous"

Unless you know more than the experts.

Lots of asymptomatic carriers of the virus I would hope would be wearing masks. Rand Paul for one. Sounds like most of you care only if you get sick.

Here is a link for face shields. You might want one if you have to care for a sick family member.
