[W:4,590] Study Finds Face Masks Didn’t Slow Spread Of Covid-19

Mask don’t work

Study Finds Face Masks Didn’t Slow Spread Of Covid-19​

The first ecological study of state mask mandates and their use to include data from the winter case spike has found that widespread mask-wearing likely didn’t slow the spread of COVID-19.

The study, conducted by the University of Louisville using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, found that “80% of US states mandated masks during the COVID-19 pandemic,” but while “mandates induced greater mask compliance, [they] did not predict lower growth rates when community spread was low (minima) or high (maxima).” The study also found that “mask mandates and use are not associated with lower SARS-CoV-2 spread among US states.”

Why would you sat that when it is so obviously untrue? It contradicts 200 years of medical practice.

Government actions are legal until government says they’re not.

it was not the right move. It accomplished nothing but destroy lives. Of course you don’t care.

Why was it the right thing to do? If they worked, Couldn’t they have just employed the policy of social distancing and mask wearing?

The judicial branch determines legality. Not the executive branch; not the legislative branch.
It was the right thing to do because closing non essential businesses reduced transmission as much as possible.
If the covidiots had behaved themselves these businesses would only have needed to be closed for a few months.
Because the covidiots couldn’t behave it needed to be much much longer

Liberals celebrate when governmrnt destroys lives. What really pisses them off is when government allows people to keep more of their earnings.

Give us a break. NO ONE from either party wants lives destroyed. There are differences of opinion on how best to respond to the pandemic, but NO ONE wants lives disrupted and you know it. You keep missing the point: a few months of intense national therapy and this nation could have been largely over this.

One political party absolutely supported the destruction of businesses which also destroyed lives.

The other party seems to want to increase viral transmission by keeping nonessential businesses open regardless of the cost in human lives

The last time time I looked, the judicial branch was a branch of government. Often they make decision on a partisan basis, not one of constitutional law.

Who are politicians to decide what is or is not essential? Why is it acceptable to allow people to gather in a Hone Depot, but not a church or gun shop? Why is s liquor store essential, but not a restaurant?

Individual liberty.

In lieu of what? What would your party sacrifice for the good of our country? Our country requires individual sacrifice for the good of all of us.

We all have our own opinions about what is or is not essential. However we elect people to LEAD us , especially during a crisis. We can object to their decisions by voting them out of office. But we cannot have everyone doing whatever they want whenever they want to do it during a crisis.
That’s exactly why we had such a crappy pandemic response

It’s still up to them to decide legal or not legal, constitutional or not constitutional. You may not like that reality (and sometimes I don’t either), but we all have to accept what is real

Yeah
Yours did
Because there are far more covidiots on the right

Like what? Liberals do that all the time because they only read the headline in a liberal media source. Deep in that article will be one tiny tid-bit of truth which refutes the headline, but they never read that far.

Pennsylvania. Where our leaders shut down businesses instead of protecting the people who were the most vulnerable. O lot of those businesses are gone for good.

Great..give me details..how long was she shut down for..
Did she apply for the government assistance available and was she denied. If not how much money did she get.
Why was she not able to restart when restrictions eased?

This was the most blatant abuse of power in history. No one was exempted from this abuse. Past abused doesn’t trivialize or mitigate this abuse. It’s just another example.

How many black/minority/LGBTQ owned businesses were destroyed?
Click to expand...
Umm how many people were rounded up and put into concentration camps and their land and property taken.
How many people were forced by the government to undergo forced sterilization as native women were in the 1970's. ?
Claiming this was the worst abuse in us history?
Not even close dude.

Seat belts won’t stop the spread of a virus either. There’s a lot of evidence coming out which say cloth masks are counter productive.
Click to expand...
A seatbelt isn't a 100% guarantee you won't get mangled in a crash, but you wear one anyway. Just as with masks the word you're looking for is 'mitigation'. Furthermore in those Southeast Asian nations where masks are habitually worn their rates of infection and death are extremely low. Likewise Australia and New Zealand where, unlike conservative America, they don't waste time whining about 'freedom!' but get on with keeping themselves and their neighbours virus-free. Care to explain why that might be?

When they pollute, yes they are bad. Which "far left" causes are bad, in your esteemed and knowledgeable opinion?

Again, the corporations which provide the fuel for our economy are demonized by the left. The corporations they love are those who are working overtime to silence opposition to liberalism.

And the law covers the law. Don't like the law? Write your representative and whine at him/her.

The law is one thing. How the law is enforced is a different issue. The reason the left wants control of the judicial branch is so they can control how he laws are enforced and judicated.
