Kannst du dich noch an den Beginn der Show erinnern? So im März 2020? Da hatte Hong Kong kaum Coronafälle, aber aufgrund des Maskenmandats ein schlagartiges Ende der Grippesaison.

Ich hatte damals sogar eine Studie verlinkt, nach der 80% Maske eine Grippewelle abwürgt.

Masken funktionieren:
Modeling the Effectiveness of Respiratory Protective Devices in Reducing Influenza Outbreak

It was found that a 50% compliance in donning the device resulted in a significant (at least 50% prevalence and 20% cumulative incidence) reduction in risk for fitted and unfitted N95 respirators, high-filtration surgical masks, and both low-filtration and high-filtration pediatric masks. An 80% compliance rate essentially eliminated the influenza outbreak. The results of the present study, as well as the application of the model to related influenza scenarios, are potentially useful to public health officials in decisions involving resource allocation or education strategies.
