A mechanism by which facemasks contribute to the COVID-19 case fatality rate.
"A parallelization analysis based on county-level data showed that in Kansas, counties with mask mandate had significantly higher case fatality rates than counties without mask mandate, with a risk ratio of 1.85 (95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.51–2.10) for COVID-19-related deaths. Even after adjusting for the number of “protected persons,” that is, the number of persons who were not infected in the mask-mandated group compared to the no-mask group, the risk ratio remained significantly high at 1.52 (95% CI: 1.24–1.72). By analyzing the excess mortality in Kansas, this study determines that over 95% of this effect can solely be attributed to COVID-19.."
Of course they wants masks to comeback. A better way to kill more of us off.

I'm not aniti-mask, but I'd hate to be forced to wear one all day long. If people are going to wear masks, they should wear masks that actually work.
