Excellent article, but two things: (1) In Table 1, just wondering why it's diagonally symmetrical - i.e. it suggests that one person masking and one not has the same rate of infection no matter if it's the infected person or non-infected person with a mask on, and the graphic following that table suggests otherwise. I know it's an estimate, but that's always bugged me! (2) One argument you've missed is that, with a mandate, very loud and threatening people will protest, sometimes at school yards, actually yelling at parents and children, and we've seen that police and government sometimes allow that vitriol to continue unfettered. Clearly it's not a good reason not to act to protect children from illness, but it's definitely a factor influencing decision-making. By protecting kids from the virus, will we put them in harm's way from angry parents who remain unconvinced by science?
Bill doesn't need to mask. His generous (and very beautiful) push-broom mustache will capture all viruses in sight. Imagine the mustache rides Mrs. Comeau gets to take? Yummy.
Thanks Marie. The second graphic was different, it looked at probability of transmission based on three mask types, none, surgical, and N95 between two people with several examples. It was a simplified private lab graphic that I thought was easy to understand but I have gotten several questions so have removed it to avoid confusion with the first table.
Regarding your second point, I spent some time explaining critical success factors including messaging, education, and summarized with a graphic. I cannot control a lack of leadership or weak security/policing that allows intimidation and threats. I can only lay out the duties of leadership and public health.
You are a beacon of light for all people searching for guidance. My family relies on you to obtain truth and clarity in learning how to navigate in these murky Covid waters. No person could ever thank you enough for all your generous work. God bless you!
Bill is a beacon of light in the land of the PushBroom. I once fought a guy to the death who had a delicious pushbroom stache. I threw a pipe threw his body and told him to "let off some steam". It was amazing.
Have you seen this article, I find it pretty shocking.

That mustache is amazing. And Mrs. C is a very lucky woman.
