Results of the poll, conducted Nov. 8, are based on an interactive voice response telephone survey of 1,007 randomly selected Ontarians over 18 and are considered accurate within three percentage points, 19 times out of 20. He said the Boston research, which took advantage of a “natural experiment” of schools making different mask choices within the same city, shows a “dramatic effect” with universal masking. Schools that lifted mask mandates “had an excess of 55 new cases of infection per 1,000 children,” which led to a “massive excess of missed school days” for students and staff, Razak said, noting this shows the masking requirement had a direct impact on educational opportunities for children.
“Protection would be considerably higher if everyone wore masks like N95s, but probably no more than 10 per cent of the population will. It would be great if people understood that 80 per cent of people wearing N95s could prevent substantially more infections than 25 per cent,” Moriarty says.
