Daily death rates rising. Don’t wear masks!
Oh Cheeks. You didn't read the link did you. This was a study that tested mask wearing in controlled settings where distancing and other factors were already in place. And even then it was inconclusive.But as for the overall effectiveness of mask wearing, it says this:"Thus, these findings do not provide data on the effectiveness of widespread mask wearing in the community in reducing SARS-CoV-2 infections. They do, however, offer evidence about the degree of protection mask wearers can anticipate in a setting where others are not wearing masks and where other public health measures, including social distancing, are in effect. The findings also suggest that persons should not abandon other COVID-19 safety measures regardless of the use of masks."
Oh Fluffy, sweetie. You’re twisting yourself in knots.To ignore the findings of this study, the stories we’ve all heard from friends/families/fellow scoopers of instances where infection happened despite disciplined mask wearing, and the fact that we are at record levels of infection despite better then ever mask compliance across the country as evidence to possibly doubt the effectiveness of masks lacks logic.But you do you Fluffy, I suggest doubling up the mask to offer twice the protection.
You’re correct. What we need is a complete shutdown across the nation. Glad you’ve recovered after the trumping of your dear leader two weeks ago
A complete shutdown until everyone is vaccinated would certainly do the trick and if Biden doesn’t impose this measure he’ll have blood of innocent people in his hands. That’s how this works right?https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/18/health/coronavirus-masks-denmark.html#click=https://t.co/xrP6wLl3SWNice article outlining both sides of the argument coming from this study.
I see you didn’t read the article again
I thought the primary purpose of a mask was to protect others from you, so therefore, if everyone wears masks, the Covid rate should plummet.. Or is Pace just being obtuse for the sake of being obtuse?
You would think, that’s what we were told at least.Doesn’t appear to be the case.
Further proof you didn't read your link.
Don't argue with fools...
I see you’re wrong....again
I’m referring to the spike in infections in the last 6 weeks or so when mask wearing is at an all time high. That would suggest it’s not working in limiting the spread to others.
Further proof you are also wrong....again.I know the study looked at the efficacy of mask wearing as it relates to protecting yourself and not the spread to others.I’m referring to the spike in infections in the last 6 weeks or so when mask wearing is at an all time high. That would suggest it’s not working in limiting the spread to others.
