Here is a story that's currently not getting much traction on HN:

I think you have the direction of protection of masks the wrong way round.
And probably something like 90% of people who die in automobile crashes always wear seatbelts.
It's not a very powerful data point to me, as in fact the linked HN discussion covers. What if 99% of those dead mask wearers had been going to daily naked foam parties with N95 masks properly covering their faces?
I only have a couple of drinks a week.
