I'm not going through pubmed and digging them all up. They are there. Unless the meta analysis you cite only looks at randomized controlled trials then they are not gold standard.
I know. New voices are great, but sometimes...

I posted three different studies that show masks do reduce the spread. I don't know what other proof I can show that would change your mind. Nothing but a universally available vaccine will eradicate the virus, but masks plus social distancing plus good hygiene are an effective combination. We now know that the virus spreads almost exclusively through respiratory droplets. This is different from the cold and the flu which can also spread through surface contact. We also know that masks help to stop or mitigate the projection of respiratory droplets. I can post every study in the world but it should also just be common sense that a mask would do that. Of course an N95 mask is more effective than a cloth mask, and the studies I posted have shown that as well. But a cloth mask is still better than nothing, especially with other preventative measures like social distancing in place. I can't understand why this is so controversial. It is the most basic of scientific truths and still we have people arguing against it.
And I have posted more than three that show masks as little more than a placebo (excepting the N95s) ... over in the COVID thread (I linked because we now have four COVID thread down here). Feel free to go over and read. 🙂

I wish the Supreme Court would step in and say that all mailed ballots must be received by close of polls in that state, on election day, to count. There must be something before them? (I do not know, I am asking.)

No, in fact it is very old information about the cold and the flu. It is actually appalling to me that a purported medical organization would post studies about entirely different viruses and use them as proof of something. Not to mention a scientific study that was retracted by the authors before it was linked in that AAPS article. I can tolerate ignorance but what they're doing is intentional disinformation.
The people spreading disinformation are those that think any old piece of cloth can prevent this virus from infecting them or others. I choose to think it is being pushed so people feel they have some measure of control over it (they do not). Even with that benign attribution, it can be harmful in leading to a false sense of security over contracting the virus.
If it worked, we would all wear masks and be done with this. The country would be open, and as soon as the virus died out, we'd dispense with the masks. However, masks do not, can not, stop the transmission.
In the words of PA Gov Tom Wolf, it is political theater:

See my post above. Has your mind been changed? Did you actually click and read through that link and analyze its claims, or did you just believe the headline?
I clicked and read. It is not new information.

I read he helped Trump with debate prep.
Do not read the comments under this tweet:
And Cam Newton tested positive! (Just thought I'd toss that in.)

The press conference is now over, but you can watch it here (they only took a few questions):
Walter Reed News Conference on President Trump's Condition
Dr. Sean Conley, physician to the president, provides an update on the president’s condition at Walter Reed Medical Center.

Custer state park in SD is also good.
We were driving into Custer State Park when we were forced to slow down. The first car in the line stopped, and so did the two motorcycles ahead of us. Naturally, we also came to a halt behind them.
While sitting there, we heard it... a *huff*huff*huff* some shuffling leaves and some snorts as this bison comes wandering down the side of the hill.
He then hangs a left as he hits the roadway, and starts *huffing* down towards us.
The motorcyclists got a big nervous and prepared to take off. And I couldn't blame them. That bison was BIG.
Hubby had the window down and I quickly yelled at him to roll it up. As the bison clip-clopped past us, he gave us the stink-eye. It was as close as I wanted to be to one of them. They are truly large animals.
We saw a lot of bison when we went to Custer and when we went to Yellowstone.

couldn’t you have picked someone a little less biased?
Less biased than the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons?
Read the link if it makes you happy to dismiss the messenger.
Here's the Reader's Digest version:
Conclusion: Wearing masks (other than N95) will not be effective at preventing SARS-CoV-2 transmission, whether worn as source control or as PPE.
* N95s protect health care workers, but are not recommended for source control transmission.
* Surgical masks are better than cloth but not very efficient at preventing emissions from infected patients. Cloth masks must be 3 layers, plus adding static electricity by rubbing with rubber glove.

Aren't you Trump-culters annoyed if not pissed at your hero???
This was completely avoidable if he just did everything he's railed against (overt or connotative) for over 6 months now.
And now for him to get sick in the last month of the election, exposing how incredibly stupid he's been to the entire nation, essentially sealing his defeat in November...
It's a frigging Comedy of Errors.
Aren't you pissed???
I am certainly pissed (Trump "cultist" that I am
)- at CHINA. China who allowed this disease to spread, lied about it, got the WHO to lie about it, and did not share data or sources.
WTF do you expect the President of the United States to do? Hide in the basement? He has a country to run.
Why he was taken off HCQ + zinc pack as a preventative is a valid question.
And if you tell me "masks" I will laugh in your face... with and without a mask. If masks worked the entire country would be open. Instead, places with tough mask laws are still closed (California, NYC, etc.)

That’s not what we are discussing. This is.
Fundraising off of his diagnosis was the original start (by someone I have blocked. I only saw it due to a quote.) And, even though it went viral, it is not true.

Michigan Supreme Court: Governor exceeded powers during coronavirus pandemic
The Michigan Supreme Court on Friday struck down months of orders by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer that were aimed at preventing the spread of the coronavirus, saying she illegally drew authority from a 1945 law that doesn’t apply.
The court said the law was an “unlawful delegation of legislative power to the executive branch in violation of the Michigan Constitution.”
