[QUOTE="tonyexpress, post: 4684746, member: 1940"] What it really seems like is that the institutions don't really know... Yes, and even an anonymous person can post that information on an internet forum. :wink-very: The failure of the scientific literature to support medical masks for influenza and all other viruses, is also why Fauci, the US Surgeon General, the CDC, WHO, and pretty much every infectious disease expert stated that wearing masks won't prevent transmission of SARS CoV-2.
