Three Reasons To Wear A Mask IN Public

[code1211]

???? They were carriers that spread everywhere else. They should have shut a lot more schools down. Science was NOT listened to thanks to trump and all the bozos that followed him......

Please link to the documented case of a child transmitting the virus to an adult.

I've seen other posters link to cases of adults who contracted covid and who also had contact with kids, along with everyone else in their lives, but no documented case of a child passing this to an adult.

The Original Coronavirus Virus doesn't seem to create a heavy viral load in kids.

I have heard that a healthy adult who is fully vaccinated has about the same resistance to the original Coronavirus as does a healthy child. The child ALWAYS had it.

What is Viral Load and Why Does it Matter?

We hear a lot of experts in the news referring to “viral load” when speaking about COVID-19, but what exactly does that mean and why does it matter? Simply put, viral load is how much of the virus you have in your body. The more the virus has replicated, the higher your viral load will be, and...

The current guidelines, of course. None of them are contradictory.

How effective were the masks, social distancing, shut downs and hand washing in December 2020 and January 2021 when the virus was most deadly and the mitigation steps were most widely employed?

The CDC knows-------you don't. Case closed. Follow the guidelines

I am vaccinated wear one where it's required only. My local Veterans healthcare clinic and my favorite independently owned sandwich shop.

Your job is to act like you don't understand what the guidelines are.

A mask? On one's face? In public? Because the Delta variant is different?

Wait, let me get this straight. A different guideline for a different strain of Covid?

Answer Key: Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

You are supposed to be completely baffled by that. For the rest of your life. The CDC might as well be announcing its guidelines in Valerian.

And because guidelines change when Covid worsens, it is your duty to pretend that these guidelines are contradictory, hypocritical, arbitrary, and impossible to understand.

Bonus points if you can find a picture or a video somewhere, anywhere, of Joe Biden not wearing a mask at some time in his life. Or Nancy Pelosi.

You're doing a great job.

Somehow, the rest of us magically understand the guidelines and are behaving accordingly, because deep down we support tyranny.

I understand the words being spoken by the folks who are telling us what the guidelines are.

The reasons for the words they are speaking do not seem to be connected to the threat they are claiming to be concerned about.

The masks, the social distancing and the shut downs didn't work the first time around.

What makes you think they would work the second time around?

Is the Delta Variant more courteous? Sees a mask and stays away? Less transmittable? Seems just the opposite.

How many times are you going to do the same thing and expect a different result?

Vaccines work. Masks don't.

And ANOTHER empty and meaningless post - from you!

No doubt speaking from your direct experience.

Less and less reason to read you posts with every additional one you waste.

Good. Hopefully this will be the last one you bother yourself with.
Remember to always wear a mask.

The CDC knows-------you don't. Case closed. Follow the guidelines

The CDC has demonstrated repeatedly that what they recommend and what actually works to achieve goals that they imply but never set are not closely related.

How many cases and deaths were recorded as the people of the country enacted the directions they issued?

Careful how you answer as a good Never Trumper.

Remember: the numbers booked were the condemnation for Trump saying he failed. The programs and recommendations were the programs and recommendations of the CDC.

You can't say that one succeeded but the other failed using the same statistics unless you're a mind numbed robot parroting the propaganda of the liars and thieves.

Why? It seems like the difference between wearing a mask and not wearing a mask is about 0.3%.

This was pretty much demonstrated in December and January in the US when at the the mitigation efforts, the cases, hospitalizations and deaths were all at their peaks.

You are preaching superstition and calling it science. So is our CDC. Makes a guy who is looking at the real world wonder why.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Overview

COVID-19 is a new type of coronavirus that causes mild to severe cases. Here’s a quick guide on how to spot symptoms, risk factors, prevent spread of the disease, and find out what to do if you think you have it.

In other words, the trial was designed to look for a big benefit for people who wear masks. It didn’t find that large benefit.

After 1 month, 42 people out of 2,392 in the group that wore masks, or 1.8%, developed a COVID-19 infection, compared to 53 people out of 2,470 in the group that didn’t wear masks, or 2.1%.

That’s a smaller benefit -- about a 16% reduction in infections, on average -- in people who said they wore their masks as they were told.

That result didn’t pass a test for statistical significance, though, meaning that it could have been due to chance.

Of course. Failure by design. The masks don't benefit the people who wear them.

During the December 2020 and January 2021 period, CDC Recommended mitigation step adherence, Covid cases, Covid hospitalizations and Covid deaths were all at the highest peaks of the national outbreaks.

And you continue to think that the virus is a politically motivated creature of systematized strategies. It's a virus. It will evolve and adapt to survive. It's what viruses do.

In the only study that I'm aware of, the wearing of masks resulted in an increased avoidance of Covid in the range of 0.3%.

Seriously! Whether you wear a mask or carry a rabbit's foot, the resulting protection against Covid is very, very similar.

New Danish Study Finds Masks Don’t Protect Wearers From COVID Infection

“Researchers in Denmark reported on Wednesday that surgical masks did not protect the wearers against infection with the coronavirus in a large randomized clinical trial,” the New York Times reports. The study is perhaps the best scientific evidence to date on the efficacy of masks.

<snip>
Roughly 4,860 participants finished the experiment, the Times reports. The results were not encouraging.

“The researchers had hoped that masks would cut the infection rate by half among wearers. Instead, 42 people in the mask group, or 1.8 percent, got infected, compared with 53 in the unmasked group, or 2.1 percent. The difference was not statistically significant,” the Times reports.

Dr. Henning Bundgaard, lead author of the experiment and a physician at the University of Copenhagen, told the newspaper the results of his research are clear.

“Our study gives an indication of how much you gain from wearing a mask,” Bundgaard said. “Not a lot.”

Never said such a thing about the virus----I am well aware of virus capabilities. In other words I'm not a Trumper.......

My point was that people were not doing what the CDC recommended in the first place...............They were not wearing the damn things.....

At the peak of the implementation of mitigation practices, we also experienced the peak of cases, hospitalizations and deaths.

Why are you denying the actual science of this?

Non sequitur. There is no data regarding the number of people who were wearing masks. None.

Number of tests given? Yes.
Numbers of negative results? Indeed.
Number of COVID diagnosis? Sure.
Number of Hospital stays? Yep.
Number of Fatalities? You bet!
Number of vaccinations? Certainly!
Number of people wearing masks? NO DATA WHATSOEVER! Get it?

Conversely, there are hundreds of examples globally, over the last 100 years where masks prevent the spread of disease. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you're going to have to stop breathing your own Methane on this issue, become an adult, and put on your big boy pants.

Wear a mask.

99.999% of all medical workers agree with me. Cut the conspiracies

 

[Luckyone]

I can think of one good reason not to wear a mask.

I don’t want too.

I can think of ONE good reason for Republicans to wear a mask. Hide their faces in shame. Not wearing a mask means that a pic of their face (without the mask) can be taken and put on social media as a person that doesn't care about the health of others. I wouldn't want that to happen to me. Republicans shouldn't want to happen to them. Recognition of such a person would bring shame to that person.

Only people with no shame will not wear a mask...........hmmm!, Vysky?

 

[Luckyone]

So if statistics prove you wrong, would you then wear a mask?

Well, here are the statistics:



Now, what excuse are you going to come up with?

 

[Carleen]

Which contradictory and ever changing, shifting guidelines are recommended to be followed?

Yes, we have a virus that mutates so the experts have to adjust their directives and so do all of us.

Wear a mask.

As you say, there is no data.

Why are you accepting the drivel that you obviously accept mindlessly.

Did you know that cloth masks are worthless in this pursuit? That paper masks in hospitals are routinely replaced several times every day?

Wearing a mask is like wearing a badge. The act apparently has little to no impact on reducing the spread.

If 2020 taught you nothing else, it should have taught you that.

If you can smell French fries through your mask, you are not protected.

No - the only thing I smell through my mask is the combination of essential oils that I spray it with, which include a trace of isopropanol I mix it in. It allows me to keep my mask fresher with longer periods between changes. But that aside . . . .

I find it hard to understand why you insist on remaining impenetrably dense on this issue. People don't wear masks to protect themselves. We wear masks to protect others !! And this is the last time I'll bother to respond to your deliberate and persistent ignorance on this subject. You don't get it because you don't want to. If you insist on going through life being part of the problem, so be it. There are none so blind as those who will not see!
