Face masks considerably reduce Covid-19 cases in Germany
I find it weird that science can&#x27;t conclusively answer the question &quot;is wearing a face mask going to significantly reduce the spread of covid&quot;. It&#x27;s been nearly a year since this was a known disease, and beyond that masks have been around for a long time and they are used by the medical community to some degree. How can we not know based on the shear mechanics of these two entities whether this is effective?<p>I feel like every other day there is a new study or report that refutes the study or the report I just saw from another respected institution. I&#x27;m not surprised people are frustrated at this problem. As an example, look at this study that was posted just 13 days ago on HackerNews: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=25159583" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=25159583</a>
