Social distancing and masks reduce risk of getting Covid-19, review finds

The"most comprehensive study to date" found that physical distance and perhaps the use of a mask were the two best ways to prevent transmission of the new coronavirus.The new study, published in the Lancet medical journal Monday, found people should stay at least three feet apart and more if possible.

The review did not, however, look at the effects of mask wearing for protecting other people, noted Oxford's Greenhalgh. She said the general public should wear a cloth mask or standard surgical mask, leaving respirator masks for health care workers.Even when properly used and combined, distancing, masks and eye protection do not offer complete protection, the study stressed, and basic measures like hand washing are essential to reduce transmission.

I cannot understand for the life of me, why the US and UK governments are not making the wearing of masks mandatory. It’s the most obvious deterrent, along with social distancing and hand washing.

We already know this. The WH Virus TF has been telling us this for months

So by proxy, the US paid for the study to say that maybe something might work with something else! Great reporting Crapoy News Network 👌🏼👌🏼👏🏻

BUT massive gatherings in protest will fix that .

I think Trump doesn't wear a mask because he can't figure out which way to wear it and is too embarrassed to ask anyone.
