Study Quotes:
"However, both studies had methodological limitations, so evidence for various comparisons about mask use in health care settings and risk for SARS-CoV-2 remains insufficient"

“There is a major focus in the debate on sources of data and their reliability, but an almost total lack of systematic review of the sensitivity of different models in terms of parameters and data. This is just as important, especially when governments across the globe are using dynamic models as a basis for decisions”, Soltesz and Jöud point out."
