More widespread wearing of face masks could prevent tens of thousands of deaths by COVID-19, epidemiologists and mathematicians project.
A model from the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation shows that near-universal wearing of cloth or homemade masks could prevent between 17,742 and 28,030 deaths across the US before Oct. 1.
The group, which advises the White House as well as state and local governments, is submitting the model for peer review, says Theo Vos, Professor of Health Metrics Sciences at IHME.

I cannot fathom why there is such a fuss about wearing a mask. What is the big deal? Wear one and protect others.

To wear a mask is to become a sheeple in a climate of made up and unnecessary fear. I want to live my life unfettered by wearing a mask. lol
