claim: masques : ce visuel partagé par des gendarmes sur les risques de transmission du covid-19 est-il exact ?
summary: the gendarmerie of the french department of vosges shared a graphic on twitter that had already spread in other countries, showing the risk of being infected with covid-19 (in percentage terms) associated with different measures (wearing a mask, social distancing, both). the percentages, however, were confusing and probably invented as they could not refer to any scientific study on the matter.
