before you dash off an email repeating something you heard about masking never actually having been shown to reduce transmission, let me just say this: Masking works. It just does. I don’t know how else to respond, but what I have noticed is that people who would just rather not wear masks cite the disclaimers, caveats and qualifiers mentioned by highly regarded scientists such as Dr. Anthony Fauci and run with them — while ignoring that these experts strenuously favor masking (with high quality, well-fitting, easily available N-95/KN-95 respirators) when transmission is high.

At least the people declaring “I’m done with masks” own up to their impatience without pretending the evidence is on their side. Because it isn’t.
