Health Report · How masks reduce risk, major coronavirus research retracted and battling mutating cancer cells · 8 Jun 2020 podcast

And until the time that we can vaccinate people, you really have to use these interventions in combination.

And, you know, when you're out and about, you can't always predict when

You can social distance and when you can't, you know, there could be factors outside of your control where, you know, someone comes up right in your face and you weren't expecting it.

So given that unpredictability when you're out and about, that also makes sense to use both the physical distancing and the masks.

Yes.

So the masks reduced the risk by 67% in this study.

The respirators reduced it by more than 95%.

So they were much more protective.

But obviously, those are for our healthcare workers.

For the community, you know, if you've got to get on a bus or a train and

or in a crowded work situation, you know, a surgical mask will be protective.

Well, we don't know.

We don't know.

And the issue here is that a lot of the spread can happen before people have symptoms.

So someone who's infected and infectious may not even know it.

They're out and about.

They're spreading virus everywhere.

So there's a really nice study of seasonal coronaviruses that was published this year in Nature, where they showed that the coronaviruses were much more airborne than other respiratory viruses.

And they can come out just with normal breathing.

You don't even need to cough or sneeze.
