Bottoms issued an executive order on July 8 requiring people to wear masks in Atlanta. Kemp sued, saying her policy violates his executive order, which strongly encourages mask wearing but does not require it. Kemp said counties and municipalities could not make their own rules that were either more or less restrictive than his statewide rules.

"We'll see" if a negotiated solution is possible, Bottoms told NPR's Ari Shapiro. "The most important thing is that we continue to keep at the forefront of every decision that we make the health and safety of the people who call Atlanta home. And what we know from our health professionals is that wearing masks goes a very, very long way in helping to stop the spread of COVID-19."

Gov. Kemp's position is that mayors cannot implement public health policies that go beyond his executive orders. Why do you believe a mayor should be able to override a governor on an issue like this?

At the end of the day, the governor belongs to a party that often speaks about local control and often elevates the need and desire for local municipalities to be able to make their own decisions as it relates to any number of matters, including when we entered the COVID-19 crisis and schools were making decisions on whether or not they would close; the governor deferred to local control on those decisions.

It is my belief that a mask mandate is also something that local control should rule on. The reason being, we know that our numbers are very, very high in Atlanta. ... And the only way that we are going to get to the other side of COVID-19 is to start making smart decisions about how we proceed with the health and safety of our residents. And part of that, it's very simple: wearing a mask.

Let me also ask you about plans for the new school year. One of your four children tested positive for [the coronavirus] and you and your husband did as well. How does that experience as the parent of a school-age child who had the disease affect your thinking about whether Atlanta students can safely go back to school in person?

My concern really is one that's born out of our experience because, again, we had one of our children to test positive, asymptomatic, and then my husband and I became infected a week later. This is what our teachers, our custodians, our cafeteria workers, our bus drivers and so many others will face when our children go back to school. Not to mention many of our children in Atlanta have higher than the national average rates of asthma. Asthma is very common with African American children. African American children are more likely to die from asthma than other races. And so there are a number of concerns, including our children then perhaps being asymptomatic and then going home and infecting and impacting their families. And we know in Black and brown communities, COVID-19 is more likely to be deadly. ...

As mayor, I don't control the schools, per our city charter. It's an independently elected school board along with [an] independently appointed superintendent. But that being said, we're working very closely with our new superintendent to make sure that our children have what they need so that they can be prepared for school this fall.

In June, following months of debate, the World Health Organization (WHO) advised governments to encourage the wearing of face masks in public spaces where social distancing is difficult. More and more countries have now enacted compulsory face mask policies, including, in various circumstances, the four nations of UK.

As for the efficacy of masks in response to this new knowledge, the evidence is less clear. Although there is still no scientific consensus on the benefits of face masks, there are a number of studies which suggest some marginal benefits from mask wearing and more compelling empirical evidence from everyday scenarios, including anecdotally. In the context of a global pandemic, which has fundamentally altered the lives of everyone in some form, even marginal gains are significant.

In the context of a global pandemic which, at time of writing, has seen over 15 million cases and over 639,000 deaths globally, the nuisance or inconvenience that being required to wear a mask might cause to individuals is vastly outweighed by the potential net benefit.

Masks can expose privilege in other ways, too. Although face masks have been mooted as an inexpensive way to prevent the spread of the virus, that all depends on your interpretation of cost. At a time where millions of Britons (and indeed, many more worldwide) are on the precipice of poverty as a result of loss of earnings from COVID-19 that cost cannot be ignored. (Indeed, this week, the French government sent out 40 million masks to seven million people living in poverty).

Curious to see how you feel now a year and a half later considering the US and CDC has not done a single randomized controlled trial. Is it still ethical to mandate masks when they are making no attempts to generate the needed evidence and knowing the vaccine is widely available and preventative of serious disease?

Biased rationalisation. Confirmation bias is clear in your explanation justifying mandatory wearing of masks. It boils down to regardless of the lack of evidence (the majority of trials that have been carried out show no benefit) you should wear them just in case they do marginally help. What about the harms of mask wearing psychologically, socially and in terms of physical health? We are primarily social creatures and masks impair social communication and connection to a significant degree. They should be optional based on the poor evidence.

Thank you for the clear arguments in this interesting debate on wearing of masks as part of the means for managing the COVID 19 pandemic. I wish to inquire if the "precautionary principle" may be applied in arguments for or against mandatory wearing of masks. Stephen Muhudhia, Nairobi, Kenya
