“People who are still taking COVID precautions seriously have every right to be angry about being abandoned by public-health officials and experts. The very real pain that many people are experiencing has not been sufficiently acknowledged.” -me to TIME
@AccordionBruce @luckytran @MatWright except of course that every study that has studied mandatory mask wearing has concluded that there was no significant difference in infection rates or deaths at a population level. What I'm saying is that the research backed statement would be "We have adjusted our recommendations because our previous ones where quite burdensome with no discernible effect on contagion or deaths."
