"Wearing face masks in public spaces reduces the spread of SARS-CoV-2.
What is added by this report?
The governor of Kansas issued an executive order requiring wearing masks in public spaces, effective July 3, 2020, which was subject to county authority to opt out. After July 3, COVID-19 incidence decreased in 24 counties with mask mandates but continued to increase in 81 counties without mask mandates.
What are the implications for public health practice?
Countywide mask mandates appear to have contributed to the mitigation of COVID-19 transmission in mandated counties. Community-level mitigation strategies emphasizing use of masks, physical distancing, staying at home when ill, and enhanced hygiene practices can help reduce the transmission of SARS-CoV-2."

Getting embarrassing Richard. No wonder you can’t explain Darwinism. What is the character trait called when someone is called out but refuses to address the comment?
Still haven’t replied about whether you cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze in a social setting either.
I can't follow this rambling post. Here is the point again.
Many states have mandated mask wearing for months. New cases in those states are skyrocketing. That is just a fact. Now pay attention and don't get distracted thinking about how a chicken lunch is the key to the JFK assassination,
masks wearing may have some benefit in slowing the spread of the virus but it is not as effective as touted by the dems. Again, not that they don't work at all but that they were politicized to give the impression that they are much more effective than the evidence is showing. I can't dumb it down any further.
