Mask Mandates Don't Work

NotreDame said:
I do not think this is right based on the data. A person not wearing a mask, who is infected and progressed to the point of transmitting the disease, can still spread the virus to someone else wearing a mask. The mask does offer some protection though and reduces the risk of infection from someone infected with the virus who isn’t wearing a mask.

Yet, when two people wear a mask, the risk of infection is very, very low.


Your Mask Cuts Own Risk by 65 Percent

Scientific evidence is clear: Social distancing and wearing masks help prevent people from spreading COVID-19, and masks also protect those who wear them, two UC Davis Health experts said on UC Davis LIVE: COVID-19. A range of new research on face coverings shows that the risk of infection to...

No they can't and you can't prove it. You have scientific opinions, no facts to back up your case. Prove that even one person wearing their mask caught the virus from someone not wearing a mask. You can't.

If the masks are the magic wand, why did the U.S. have 11,000+ new cases as of 16:26 GMT?

Because of right-wingers, mostly. There is no magic wand. It takes effort, and right-wingers are the most anti-effort people on the planet.

You have zero facts to back up opinions. Show proof that even one person wearing a mask caught the virus from someone not wearing a mask, and don't cheat. You can't prove it.

You're not understanding what I'm saying. If people don't want to get the virus then they should wear a mask. If people don't want to wear a mask then let them get the virus. Mask wearing people aren't going to get the virus even if others aren't wearing their masks, which means the link you posted is a crock of shit. If people don't want to wear their masks then let them get the virus. They aren't hurting anyone but themselves.

False. You are safer if both parties wear the mask
 
NotreDame said:
Mask mandates have worked, it is documented they’ve worked. They’ve worked in some states in the U.S. So, maybe you should illuminate specifically where mask mandates haven’t worked.



Did they make a concerted effort to enforce the mask mandates? Did they make any effort?

You cannot prove that not even one person wearing a mask caught the virus from someone not wearing a mask. Go ahead and try but you can't cheat by assuming. The left claim that they are the side of the facts. Show the facts of what I requested, not scientific opinions. Prove someone wearing a mask caught the virus from someone not wearing a mask.

No proof is needed. The evidence is overwhelming that you are safer if both parties wear the mask

That's the best you can come up with, theory? I thought your side was the side of facts now all you can do is use the word theory.

It does matter about Connecticut and New York and New Jersey, and Rhode Island and New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont. Yes it does because WE got it contained so YOU wouldn't die. If we didn't take steps to mitigate and contain this, the way it was tearing through us like wildfire in Feb and March then everyone in this country would have suffered much more than they already have.

Stop trying to tell me what's happening in my own state unless you live here, you don't know shit about what's going on here.

Prove one example of someone wearing a mask who caught the virus from someone not wearing a mask. If someone wants to not wear a mask and take a chance at getting the virus then why not let them? As long as you are wearing YOUR mask you don't have to worry.

First, where’s the evidence for the data point “work about 10% of the time”?

Second, some clarity is needed. What is meant by “work”? How is that measured? It is an ambiguous term.

Maybe some hypothetical math is helpful.

If masks saved 2,000 a month, that’s 1.3 people a day for a 30 calendar day for each 50 states. Such a number supports the notion masks “work.” Multiply 2000 by 12 months, and 24,000 people are saved, just below the death toll in NYC. Multiply 2,000 by 5 months, and 10,000 people are saved (April to September). https://www.maskssavelives.org/

Masks Save Lives

Reminding others that “masks save lives” isn’t just sound advice. It’s a scientific fact that wearing one in public can help to slow the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19.…
directorsblog.nih.gov

My point here is mixed compliance, some compliance, saves lives. Maybe that’s enough?

So, what’s the low number saved to say mask “mandates do not work”?

The best you can come up with is a hypothetical? Really? I thought you lefties only want facts and now you come up with hypotheticals. Another poster used the word theories. Where are your facts that prove someone wearing their mask caught the virus from someone not wearing a mask. You say you only believe in facts, then where are they? A hypothetical is not a fact.

When I sneeze, that mask would be about 000% effective.

Oh really, tell that to all the people in my state of Connecticut that saw members of their families and friends die from Covid in March and April. Tell that to all the people in my state that wear a mask, all the time when out in public. Tell that to us --- that know better because our infection rates went from 17% to -0.05%. Don't you DARE to tell me that masks do not work, it's showing profound ignorance to do so. And yes, IT WAS ENFORCED!

Were those members of families and friends in nursing homes? You realize there was no special protection given to those in nursing homes most susceptible to Covid.

Game theory means two actors will have larger chances to succeed if they work together. Does one person taking precautions while another does not have a better chance at stopping the spread of covid, than 2 taking the same precautions?

Lmao, this is embarrassing. Arent you supposed to be the "gods" exist unless otherwise proven guy?

I'm going to reject your post because you haven't established the relevance of the question. Does injustice in our criminal justice determine the scientific facts of viral propagation?

The side that isn't socially distancing and aren't washing their hands and aren't wearing masks are right because their cause is right?:D

But people have the right to get the virus if they want to take the chance. As long as you are wearing YOUR mask then you don't have to worry. Let them get the virus if they want to.

Why do you keep insisting on repeating this falsehood? Are you still ignorant of how masks work despite me personally explaining this to you more than once?
