US: Goldman Sachs in a note out last night makes the economic case for
nationally-mandated face-mask wearing. Having modelled various factors, their
findings suggest "reflect a largely causal impact of masks [on COVID outcomes]
rather than correlation with other factors (such as reduced mobility or
avoidance of large gatherings)".
- They conclude: "a national mandate could raise the percentage of people who
wear masks by 15pp and cut the daily growth rate of confirmed cases by 1.0pp to
0.6%... a face mask mandate could potentially substitute for lockdowns that
would otherwise subtract nearly 5% from GDP."
