You lose all credibility when you use ridiculous analogy comparing speeding through a school zone vs passing Covid for not wearing a mask.
Please show actual data that masking actually works. There is none.
Japanese have been wearing masks precovid whenever someone’s sick. There’s no data whatsoever that there’s less rates of cold or flu. It’s just for courtesy.
I LOVE when COVID morons make it so very obvious they are morons.
How’s a n = 300k randomized, controlled study in Bangladesh? Shows that even 40% vs 15% community masking prevalence decreases COVID cases.
There’s no data that showed that masks actually work. Not talking about N95 masks but the cloth masks that most people wear. Japanese have been wearing masks before Covid. If masks actually worked, how come cold and flu infection rate is not significantly lower in Japan?
Read my prior post.
community masking in a symptom-agnostic manner reduces the spread in the critical pre-symptomatic period. Just slapping masks on sick people doesn’t help as much as people think because most symptomatic people reduce their social contacts anywhere.
Look at cold/flu rates in US during COVID to see what widescale community masking does to less transmissible respiratory (low R0) viruses (Hint: almost eliminates).
The reason there were almost no flu cases is because the libs are conspiring with big pharma to make them look like covid cases. This way, the evil libs can continue their agenda of taking away our freedumbz and ushering in soshulism.

This is your definitive proof that masks work? Love the mask bros calling others morons and feel superior to others.
so, in this study, Covid symptoms went down from 8.60% to 7.63%? That’s it? That’s the effectiveness of wearing masks? No wonder mask bros never bring data to show the effectiveness of masks.
Damn, you first use ridiculous analogy. Now, you’re confusing correlation vs causation.
Mask mandate was in full force in many parts of the US for the past 2 years. How is the death rate in those areas not similar to Japan?
Perhaps, there are other variables besides masks? Umm, Japanese obesity rate is like tenth of US? Japanese has the longest lifespan?
Congrats on pointing yourself out as the dumbazz of Letsrun for the day.
Besides, mask mandate is ending for most of this country. As it should.
If you think US mask wearing resembled anything even close to Japan during their outbreaks then you are a fool. How many posts like the following have we seen on here?
"WHO aKshully wares an MAsk anymore???????!!??!WHY??? I havwnt seen one for Months except on the looonies!!!"
Yep, you still can’t respond about your idiot use of correlation vs causation.
Yes… we did everything right… wait, it’s not “we” the healthcare workers/people who sacrificed their jobs for the “pandemic”. it was the governor of Washington. Only he has the power to save lives in WA. It has nothing to do with our low population density. Or that we have a relatively healthier population than other states!
Great news is, mask mandate is coming to an end soon in the US.
Unfortunately for people in Seattle, it will be the last place in the US to end.
Agreed. Mask mandates are no longer needed. Vaccination has been wildly successful at prevent COVID deaths. We need to get the vulnerable/willing boostered and COVID is done.
Perpetual cycle. Now in phase of lifting restrictions as vaccinations have made another round (big pharm richer). Give the public a glimmer of hope that this sham is finished. Another variant appears 3-4 months later, late summer or early fall and the cycle repeats.

Correct, vaccines are available.
mask mandate should’ve ended as soon as vaccine was widely available just like what CDC originally recommended.
Your data shows the minimum effect of masks. It’s been close to useless the entire time. Even Fauci didn’t think masks were needed in the beginning. He knew the data and stated that. He just backtracked to make people feel better for wearing masks. That’s it.

Fauci, an HIV expert, had no clue about community masking for a high transmissible respiratory virus, especially in early 2020. The CDC and NIH have communicated terribly over the course of the pandemic.
The Yale/Bangladesh study does not show a “1% reduction,” it shows an 11% reduction in seroprevalence over the study course. Meaning 11% fewer people got COVID in communities where 40% of the people masked daily as opposed to places where 15% did. Remember most places in the US had >>> 40% community masking. If you can’t see the value in these data, you are just blindly writing off anything to favor your dogma. Nothing is 100% effective. In periods of high viral spread indoor, public masking masking make sense.
MA GA goons are so used to slurping down false info they just chug it up everytime.
Washington has more than twice the population of Utah and is smaller than Utah. Somehow this peabrain thinks they have the same population density.
How does that equation even work in your head?
Washington 7 million people. Utah 3 million. Utah bigger. Simple enough?
You come off as a knuckle-dragging hamhock. Try not to get so angry about facts.
So you can't answer those questions?
lol.......how embarrassed you must be. "A state wuth 3 million poeple is as densely populated As a smaller state with almost 8 million.....Yup! The MAth check out!!!"
bet you wishing you hadn't doubled down on stupid now.
In the future.....if something just seem inherently fishy....cross check your facts.
Lots of sources for population density. You'll find they list Utah as 33-40 ppl/sq mi. and washington as 113-115 ppl/sq mi.
"Rhode Island is Bigger than Texas . I gots Links with Numbers!!"

Quit with your straw man argument of, “Nothing is 100% effective.”
what straw man are you trying to argue with?
I clearly saw the graph that less than 1% difference in symptoms between masks, not wearing masks.
Sorry, clearly masks did jack. It’s just to make people feel better. Vaccines work. Vaccines reduce hospitalization and deaths. Masks do nothing. Masks are useless for kids forced to wear all day. Masks are worthless to wear to get seated to your table at a restaurant. Masks are useless at a zoo(believe it or not, this is mandatory in Seattle).
I still see people running outside with N95 masks. I saw several just today. Nearest mental asylum I know of is in Lakewood/Steilacoom area, kinda far for them to travel.
If the COVID-19 vaccines on the market worked, then authoritarian China would simply order every citizen to get a dose tomorrow and wouldn't need to keep having dramatic lockdowns whenever they discover a single case in their borders.
