Masks can help you stop the virus

[chilehed]

I still want to know what percentage of people that test sick have been wearing masks. I would bet that nobody would want to do a study on that because it could ruin the narrative.

No single number is sufficient to arrive at a good conclusion either way.

No single number is sufficient to arrive at a good conclusion either way.

A percentage would be telling especially if the numbers weren't super high for people not wearing a mask.

It is easy to infer. NY has been in lockdown with masks required for months along with social distancing and other measures, they have shown a tremendous decrease from the peak.

Florida, Tulsa, Az, Tx, are all examples of States that didn't have to wear masks, didn't have to shut down, didn't have to have social distancing, and they are all spiking.

Tulsa isn't a state, and we are still doing well in spite of a spike in infections here.

When the mask rules went into effect I went to my garage and found the box of masks I used when I was doing some drywall sanding...got them from Lowes.

Yesterday while at an appointment they had surgical style masks available...so I used one knowing it'll be a bit more comfortable.

Wearing the mask I noticed with each exhale my glasses would fog up then clear with each inhale.

That's a crystal clear indication that my exhale was entering the room and my inhale was breathing in the unfiltered air from the room.

How many out there have experienced that?

....yes your glasses fog up as it goes upwards, not outwards,it's not perfect but most of it goes forward and slowed videos have shown this time and time again.

It would be interesting, but as someone who's made a good living for many years doing statistical analyses I wouldn't hang my hat on it.

I agree, the art of good statistics these days has been soured by inserting bias into polling information.

So you don’t care if you infect others?

I wash my hands if I think they need it. I don't believe the masks do anything to stop me from infecting others, but I'm not getting close to people and sneezing on them either. So, your question assumes something that just isn't true.

Covid19 has become the bit in the horses mouth. They use it to turn us left and right and stop us and make us run...... I'm wary of any change in the mandated actions to "Flatten the curve"

I will wear a mask if it is made mandatory... however, I'm not convinced that 99% of the people know how to actually use, care and handle them.

It’s nice that you know in advance when you are going to sneeze or cough so you can get far away from others. Most of us don’t get that much advanced warning.

At this point in time I really have no idea who to believe, "Experts" are everywhere. In this state masks are required when in a store and such but enforcement is pretty much non-existent. I was grocery shopping yesterday and compliance was about 50%. The store clerks are not about to confront someone without a mask and I don't blame them. I have seen a couple smaller stores, such as a gun shop and an ABC store who have someone posted at the door to turn away anyone not wearing one. While I'm as skeptical as the next person on its effectiveness, I comply merely because I don't want to be a stressor on someone else whose buy-in is significantly higher than mine. I regard it in the same light as a T-shirt. If you want to ride around in the car bare-chested, by all means do. But if you want to enter a store or restaurant, you put one on. It's not Rocket Surgery.

Look at China. There are about 400 million people all in all that have shown how to bring the virus under control.

We want to be like China, now? The masks that they wear are part and parcel with the control that their communist government exerts on them. Despite their efforts, they are still the origin of every cold and flu epidemic.

It is easy to infer. NY has been in lockdown with masks required for months along with social distancing and other measures, they have shown a tremendous decrease from the peak.

New York was also the epicenter. Burn down the forest, and then stand on the ashes, bragging that you made the place fireproof.

from the in-box this morning

Your Mask Cuts Own Risk by 65 Percent July 6, 2020
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 the wearer is decreased by 65 percent, said Dean Blumberg, chief of pediatric infectious diseases at UC Davis Children’s Hospital.

I try to stay away from others anyway currently, since I may have had contact with someone who had the virus. So we are back to no in-person church at the moment. Last week we were in four different states while traveling and it's interesting. The places that have the most cases really don't use masks any more than we do here in the boondocks. It's a nonenforcable rule.

So your response to someone who buys a Volkswagen "so we want to be like the Nazis now". This response is extremely arrogant. Because you disagree with China on one point, you are more than happy to ignore the evidence from 1 billion people living together. They have experienced the crowded cities we are experiencing now a hundred years before us.

New York was also the epicenter. Burn down the forest, and then stand on the ashes, bragging that you made the place fireproof.

This is as ugly as ridiculing the soldiers that hit Omaha beach for their deaths. It is as ugly as Trump's comment that he prefers hero's that don't get caught. Pride goes before a fall.

Chilehead asked for data, I gave him data. Your response is repugnant.

 

[ZNP]

A percentage would be telling especially if the numbers weren't super high for people not wearing a mask.

A spike in Tulsa after the rally where they weren't wearing masks is relevant. The spike in Florida after they ignored warnings to use social distancing and masks is relevant. The decrease in the death rate in countries that extensively use social distancing and masks is relevant.

This claims that you have a medical condition that prevents you from wearing a mask. It is thus a lie (for most readers), in aid of putting people around you at more risk. I hope you don't wear any Christian symbols or make any statements implying that you're a Christian while doing this.
