It doesn't help. This was the consensus of everyone before April 2020.

These model based estimates crack me up. To get a model published through the peer-review process, typically takes months or even years. Yet these guys are pumping them out in a few weeks and we are supposed to take them as the gospel. Its a joke.

Even if these guys are 100% correct, is the personal freedom of 330 million Americans worth more than the 45k lives that could be saved by masks? Yes, I think so. This nonsense is having a significant detriment on the mental health and well-being of society. I take a look at the grocery store and I am amazed that we are living in the United States. We need to go back to normal.
