So misguided as to be dangerous

This was written in March, I get it. But it's ranking highly on Google. It's the most severely knock-kneed "news" advice on the matter. Masks work. Asian cities with high density have single digit fatalities. Why? Everyone wears masks. Austria dropped its daily new cases by 90% when they mandated masks. Let the CDC and FDA in the US keep dithering about masks. They work, plain and simple.

  All Asian countries had low deaths per capita (and many of them wear masks due to pollution). How do you know Austria's cases dropped from masks and not from herd immunity? As many experts have said, the virus acts the same way, there is a bell curve that decreases when herd immunity is reached. www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/278658
