I don't know, but (again) the CDC seems to think that masks alone are not sufficient. Neither does the public health agency of any other country, including those in the Pacific Rim who've dealt with this sort of thing before and whose citizens are already prone to wearing masks while ill.Exactly, wearing a mask protects others from the wearer. In that case, if everyone is wearing a mask, isn't everyone protected from everyone else?
But, you know, maybe you're right and they're all wrong? I don't know, because this isn't my field, but if I were a betting man, I'd be taking long odds against you vs. the hundreds or thousands of people who are experts in the field and do this for a living making the recommendations on behalf of those national public health agencies.
It certainly is going to be interesting to see how we adjust to what clearly seems like it will be a marathon, not a sprint. We were having this conversation yesterday about live sports. Suppose a stadium wanted to enforce a 6' radius around individual families of ticket holders? That means not only no one in the 3-4 seats to either side of you, but no one within maybe 2-3 rows in front or behind you. How do you do anything like this in e.g. the Jungle Cruise queue without having crowds limited to the size of Disney After Hours? I don't know.I don’t think there’s the stomach in our culture for that long of a delay. [...] So I think it’s much more of a question of what social distancing would mean. I’m currently expecting masks, virtual queues, and some limit on attendance
