The Stanford University School of Medicine issued a statement disavowing a study being circulated online that claims face masks are “worthless” against COVID-19. The author, Baruch Vainshelboim, a sports doctor with no experience in infectious disease, listed his credentials as working for the “Cardiology Division, Veteran Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System/Stanford University,” but representatives from both the VA Palo Alto Health Care System and Stanford’s medical school told AP Vainshelboim does not work at either institution. A Johns Hopkins University infectious disease expert said that the study “does not provide any strong evidence for the statement,” that masks are inefficient at preventing the spread of the infection.

Officials monitoring one California VA outreach program found that the number of emergency room visits and total costs of that care both dropped by more than half for veterans experiencing homelessness six months after they found shelter through department assistance programs.
