RcReader reports “Masks Don’t Work: A Review of Science Relevant to COVID-19 Social Policy”

Yet in one important area, the picture is coming more and more into focus: young children are not significant transmitters of COVID-19, and child cares (and elementary schools, for that matter) are rather safe.
Age of Autism report “It’s Not Nice to Fool with Mother Nature But It Is Profitable”
