I don't really recall the great substack panic, but it seems fine to me. And with the notes function on top of it, I think it's a contender for best platform. I'm still not that deep into it, but I like it so far. I'm not positive, but Notes might be a good replacement for twitter.

"Masks could help stop the spread of Covid."

I suppose it's true they *could* help stop the spread of Covid. That's if people were capable of wearing high-quality masks (KN95 or better) properly at all times. In reality, there is no evidence that community masking worked to stop the spread of Covid. Around the world, we saw that there was no discernible difference in covid rates in communities with high rates of masking vs. communities with low rates of masking.

There is more evidence that wearing high-quality masks helps at the individual level, but even then, the best they can do is delay the inevitable.
