I was asked to produce this expert report for a constitutional case before a court in the province of Manitoba, Canada.
I was asked:
• Do viral respiratory diseases transmit outdoors?
• Do face masks prevent transmission of viral respiratory diseases?
• What was the gravity of the declared COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, and in Manitoba?
My own first draft for the report, which starts on the next page, provides my best answers, on 20 March 2022. I’m making it public to benefit from reader feedback and suggestions.
