Read about the economic value of cloth face masks from Yale Insights by Jason Abaluck and Judith A. Chevalier with Yale School of Management: "We ask what is implied if masks only reduce by 10% the likelihood that an infected person transmits the virus (even though our cross-country analysis suggests the impact might be much larger). Because the stakes are so large, even a 10% reduction implies $3,000-$6,000 in value per mask! This is because the epidemiological models suggest that so many people are at risk of becoming infected and dying.... The gains from universal adoption are extremely large no matter how you calculate them."
