BONUS FACT: If we lived on Saturn's moon Titan, we probably would have used the freezing and boiling points of methane for our "100 step" (centigrade) scale.

$Why Masks Work BETTER Than Youd Think Thanks to the Heising-Simons foundation for their support: https://www.hsfoundation.org (their COVID-19 grants: https://www.hsfoundation.org/grants/covid-19-response-grants/ ) Check out https://aatishb.com/maskmath to explore and for references. This video is about how masks (whether surgical, or N95, or cloth) are counterintuitive and actually work much better epidemiologically than one might expect. Masks do double-duty, and the fraction of interactions with masks is much higher than the fraction of people wearing masks, so partially adopted, partially effective masks are able to reduce the basic reproduction number surprisingly well.
