As we wait for a vaccine, let’s remember that experts agree universal masking is an effective solution that is already available. This easy-to-do act of citizenship helps us resume normalcy. When it’s cold, we wear hats and gloves. When there’s a pandemic, let’s all wear masks.

Masks can help fight the virus, and thus restore our personal freedoms. Mask-wearing is simply a sign of personal responsibility. https://t.co/UXlpBsVAyP

The usual assumption is that masks protect *others,* but probably not the wearer. Evidence from South Korea suggests even better news: the mask protects the wearer too. Useful information on day that anti-maskers rally to demand the right-to-infect. https://t.co/4cuw4qxD5O

Does a face mask protect me, or just the people around me? It likely provides protection for both. https://t.co/Fcn1zVnHHQ
