70% of those infected with Kung Flu wore masks, followed CDC guidelines.

My experience suggests the best way to avoid catching Wuhan is to avoid indoor gatherings.
I travel all around the country as a side job and play bar music as a primary job. Almost all gigs canceled in 2020 but I’ve continued traveling on the other job. For over 30 years I’ve never gone this far into the season without having contracted at least a cold by now. Not this year. Process of elimination suggests the indoor events are the culprit.
Of course all of this should be moot by now as we should have naturally been over this already. But democrat gov’s and their lockdowns are only delaying the process.
It only stands to reason that isolation will nearly eliminate most communicable diseases. However if it becomes a matter of course, eventually everyone will lose their herd immunity and you will see mass die offs due to minor disease. Don't be naive and fall for all of this "end of the world" garbage. Go on with your life, the sky is not falling and this is just so much sensationalized crap.
You can go ahead and live your life while at least trying to minimize risk of getting COVID.

I'm not a shut in but I take precautions. I have had asthma since i was a kid and don't want to risk getting a potentially severe pulmonary infection
Then you’re among the anomalous who need extra precaution.
But non-asthma-sufferers should not have to lockdown because you do. That’s the rub.

Infection with COVID-19 despite wearing protective measures has been recorded, with even medical professionals equipped with maximal personal protective equipment (PPE) occasionally contracting the virus.

Despite this, face masks are still shown to be the most effective means of slowing the spread of the virus, and medical bodies worldwide recommend wearing them and maintaining social distancing measures.

Also, Facebook fact-checker reviewed this study and was able to highlight some flaws:
"The comparison made in the claim cannot evaluate mask effectiveness in reducing the spread of COVID-19, because the study that the claim is based on included many more people who wear masks than people who didn’t," the fact-checker. "Of the 314 individuals surveyed in the study, only 11 never wore masks. Because the group sizes are so uneven, a comparison of the proportion of people who tested positive for COVID-19 who wore masks and who didn’t would show mask wearers to be the majority
Facebook fact checker? :laughing0301:

314 infected people surveyed.....70% of them wore masks.

Facebook “Factchecker”: They over sampled mask wearers.:cuckoo::cuckoo::cuckoo:
their study trial group only had 11 people in it, that did not ever wear a mask...and 303 people in the study group that did.... a more informed study would be half of the study group as mask wears, and half the study group of maskless deniers.

from what I've heard, non mask wearers are TWO TIMES likely to catch the corona virus than mask wearers.

btw, your article says the mask wears, wore their masks in public, except when eating out... these studies show that most mask wearers that catch covid, ate out in a restaurant, where they took their mask off.
You talk a lot about "what I've heard"..........this study and that study....and yet you bring zero to back any of it up.

The study in the OP is pretty straightforward, so you are having to lie to try to spin it. 314 infected people were studied, 70% were mask wearers and followers of CDC guidlines.

End of story. You can't lie your way to changing those facts.

As I said earlier, 314 infected people out of how many millions of cases?
Apparently you don't have a clue how studies are conducted.

How many people are polled out of tens of millions of voters to get a fairly accurate reading of political races?

Listen asshole, I taught statistics. You have no ******* clue what statistical significance is!


I don't give a shit what you taught, Elmer.

Bring something proving the study I linked is wrong, or STFU.

You were good right up until that last stupid statement
 
Tell me again how we have to wear masks......


Masks are not a panacea but you do have to follow certain procedures

Most people I see using them have their noses hanging out or they touch the outside of the mask then rub their eyes or touch their faces.

So don't touch the mask then touch your face. when you take the mask off you have to thoroughly wash your hands before you touch your face.

It ain't rocket science
Ridiculous

When required to wear the mask EVERYWHERE AND ALLDAY it is a literal impossibility to never touch the mask or to wash your hands every time you do.

Rejoin us in reality.

Of course you are wrong.

And no one is required to wear a mask everywhere all day long. You don't have to wear a mask in your car or your home or even outside if you can distance
Who the **** is talking about wearing masks at home or in your car???

Use some common sense for ***** sake. Masks are REQUIRED in ANY public space per the Missouri Health Department. If you work in one of those places you wear a mask ALL DAY LONG.

Ridiculous that this stupid shit has to be spelled out for anyone.
You don't wear masks, use hand sanitizer, or social distance for the common cold...or...the flu, which has a higher mortality rate than covid. Quit supporting the Chinese mask industry that even says that it DOES NOT PROTECT AGAINST COVID-19 right on the box for those who bother to read.
Don't be a ******* retard. If I don't wear the damn thing I can not conduct my business. I can not shop for food. I can not go into ANY business establishment.
 
According to the CDC, that number is 18K.
Wrong (or most likely lying) The CDC very specifically stated that as of mid October there had been 300,000 excess deaths...200,000 of them attributed to covid
The CDC has published very clear guidelines regarding masks hand washing etc

Why do you need a politician to tell you what to do?
Yes because anti-maskers don't follow those guidelines
 
Sooooo many pretend warriors on this board. NO MASK PERIOD nonsense.

I get it, you're a bunch of old ***** who seldom leave your house so it's no big deal to you. Meanwhile the rest of WORKING AMERICA have to suffer through these asinine rules because we have lives. Or perhaps you live where they aren't required.

Either way give it a rest. Your cyber warrior armor won't put food on my table or pay my bills

Your study is ******* insignificant, dickhead! It was very early on in the pandemic and has been overcome by events. The CDC says that over 70% of COVID cases come from being infected by their spouse. Do you think they are wearing masks around each other? **** no!
 
Tell me again how we have to wear masks......

Did you read the article you pasted or just the headline? In the body of the article the author explicitly says wearing masks, though are clearly not anywhere near 100% effective at stopping COVID, are still the most effective means available to slow the spread. So do you have to wear a mask? Of course not. If you do not want to wear a mask you are not a criminal, but there is a pretty good possibility you are an asshole.

So all these super smart Sheeple who wear a mask all the time and follow CDC guidelines hang out with people who don't wear masks. Doesn't make sense, but then you never do.

I don't hang out with people who don't wear masks! That's why I have not died of COVID yet much less had a cold or the flu. When I see someone like that, I spin on my heels and evacuate the area.

You really are stretching now to defend your beliefs which have been proved to be a lie, Suck it up, dickhead! You are wrong!

Of course not. If you do not want to wear a mask you are not a criminal





Fair enough, but that overreach had as much to do with folks reactions than the fact they didn’t wear masks. The woman who got tazed was asked to put on a mask or leave, she refused to do either and resisted the officer when being led away. In all fairness, if she were a black man people would say,”what do you expect an officer to do when they are being assaulted?” So really, again, not criminals just assholes.

They took their masks off to eat indoors at restaurants. You'd know that if you read the actual report. Posts misrepresent CDC study examining mask use

The September report, which examines the behavior of coronavirus patients before their diagnosis, revealed that those who tested positive were twice as likely to have dined at a restaurant. Rather than share key findings from the study, posts online incorrectly suggested that wearing masks makes you more likely to contract the coronavirus and that not wearing one would keep you from catching it.
 
The MAIN thrust of the "Wear a Mask" campaign has always been that it can't protect YOU, but it is somewhat effective at preventing you from infecting SOMEONE ELSE.

Now, for what I suspect are P.R. reasons, they say, "Well...wearing a mask can reduce your chances of being infected," which to me means, it is nearly worthless to protect you, because of the physical size of the bad guys, which can sashay through a cotton mask like water through your fingers.

So again, wearing a mask can't do much to protect you, and if you wear a mask around other people who are NOT WEARING MASKS, you are not significantly protected. Hence, the title of this thread is not surprising in the least.
