As research in Scientific Reports shows, "Face masks are less effective than sunglasses in masking face identity."
Will policymakers also ban sunglasses? hats?

Not sure which public health experts you're talking to, but on the CDC website COVID-19 levels are still HIGH according to wastewater data. www.cdc.gov/nwss/index.h...
And there are a number of public health experts that still think there is an urgent need to send free COVID-19 tests to the public!
