that is such a useless remark.. everything seemed to be working beause it got warmer and the air more humind ushering the virus to the ground and getting people natural vitamin D is far more likely a larger reason. In real life a. I am stating barriers to transmission... may not really be barriers because even the labs... state that they have to seal the masks down because otherwise it goes out the side... which we experience... especially those of us who wear glasses. plus.. b. dirty masks which people touch could cause far more problems than clean masks save because masks may only be clean for a few minutes.
Lock-downs work... if your goal is to destroy the economy and enslave the people in a socialist dystopia.
You don’t need a lockdown to destroy the economy when 800,000 plus people are filing for unemployment every week because Covid is spreading like wildfire. We won’t have a healthy economy while Covid is spreading. As transmission goes up, unemployment goes up. It’s observable because it’s real.
Whats amazing is that there are actually people arguing against the utility of wearing masks -- the most cost effective and virtually effortless measure imaginable to reduce the chances of spreading or contracting airborne, viral illnesses. They persist despite our observation that in densely populated countries with a tradition of wearing a mask when ill, and where in the current pandemic mask wearing was early, automatic, and universal, the transmission of the virus was stopped and the number of infections per capita are a tiny fraction of what it is in countries where mask wearing was haphazard and irregular. Those same, amazingly illogical people are pointing out that anecdotal evidence is being used to support mask wearing, although they themselves are using anecdotal evidence to argue that masks are ineffective! This is bizarre. Yet not half so bizarre as attempting to make something wholly scientific and medically sound into an assault on their freedom. What they are doing by throwing reason out the window is exercising the most innate and universal of all our human freedoms, "the freedom from reason" ; a freedom which no society, no matter how repressive, has ever succeeded in banishing.
Interesting but hardly conclusive. It could have been a situation where the hard hit places no longer could be hit as hard. We saw cities get slammed and then later the center of the country. for instance... "Second, this analysis did not account for mask ordinances in six cities in non–mask-mandated counties. However, in sensitivity analyses recategorizing nonmandated counties that included cities mandating masks as mandated counties, results were consistent with those in primary analyses, although they were attenuated. In those analyses, after the governor’s executive order, COVID-19 incidence among mandated counties stabilized rather than decreased, and incidence continued to increase among nonmandated counties."
You don't even know if the fact they had experience with SARS enabled their b cells and t cells to react more quickly I thought you claimed to be a scientist. Are you not supposed to have data... and control for variables? 2. Tell me about the risks of wearing blue masks made in China all day long? Breathing in the crap and the fibers?
