Do Masks Work?

Didn't you read any of it?
It was a COMPUTER MODELING SIMULATION.
Which can easily give any result you want.
I am talking about the actually, real, result of laboratory testing.
And the reality is that mask make it worse for viruses, after a half hour.
They are only good for 15 minutes or so, or with larger objects like bacteria.
dude, right? all they got, Crash dummies show the value of a seat belt. other than the demofk dummies I want them to post the study with tested results. TESTED!!!!! Not MODELED. Thank you
 

Filtration for Wearer Protection​

Studies demonstrate that cloth mask materials can also reduce wearers’ exposure to infectious droplets through filtration, including filtration of fine droplets and particles less than 10 microns. The relative filtration effectiveness of various masks has varied widely across studies, in large part due to variation in experimental design and particle sizes analyzed. Multiple layers of cloth with higher thread counts have demonstrated superior performance compared to single layers of cloth with lower thread counts, in some cases filtering nearly 50% of fine particles less than 1 micron .14,17-29 Some materials (e.g., polypropylene) may enhance filtering effectiveness by generating triboelectric charge (a form of static electricity) that enhances capture of charged particles18,30 while others (e.g., silk) may help repel moist droplets31 and reduce fabric wetting and thus maintain breathability and comfort. In addition to the number of layers and choice of materials, other techniques can improve wearer protection by improving fit and thereby filtration capacity. Examples include but are not limited to mask fitters, knotting-and-tucking the ear loops of medical procedures masks, using a cloth mask placed over a medical procedure mask, and nylon hosiery sleeves.31-35
the manufacturer wouldn't publish on the outside of the box they sell the masks in that the mask doesn't protect against Wuhan. Seriously, you really have no brain.

that doesnt look like a simulation to me.
they were doing that for 3 hours.
 
N95 doesn't do shit either. They would if breathing was limited to actually going through the filter, but in real life our breath flows easily through and around it like it isn't even there.
It reduces the exposure.

And, there are more secure mask like the envomask.com that can add additional protection.

This is a man made HIGHLY contagious virus.

Cloth doesn't work, neither do surgical mask.

No protection at all is foolish at best.
 
Here, since you wish to be stupid like I pointed out! You can answer me now

Ohhhhhhhh

You want me to join your racist club.
Sorry, can't pay the moral dues.

Chain link fence would eventually get some mosquitoes stuck to it if you had some on the roof of your car and drove across the country, so yea, I can see where n95 masks could technically help by trapping 1 out of every two billion viruses that flow around and through them.
 
You didn't read that did you? A survey of ... 2 people ??? What the fuck? An internet survey? A review of national data?

You are Fox Mulder, you want to believe, so you do, Lush
Obviously YOU didn't read it.

Human Studies of Masking and SARS-CoV-2 Transmission​

Data regarding the “real-world” effectiveness of community masking are limited to observational and epidemiological studies.

  • An investigation of a high-exposure event, in which 2 symptomatically ill hair stylists interacted for an average of 15 minutes with each of 139 clients during an 8-day period, found that none of the 67 clients who subsequently consented to an interview and testing developed infection. The stylists and all clients universally wore masks in the salon as required by local ordinance and company policy at the time.36
  • In a study of 124 Beijing households with > 1 laboratory-confirmed case of SARS-CoV-2 infection, mask use by the index patient and family contacts before the index patient developed symptoms reduced secondary transmission within the households by 79%.37
  • A retrospective case-control study from Thailand documented that, among more than 1,000 persons interviewed as part of contact tracing investigations, those who reported having always worn a mask during high-risk exposures experienced a greater than 70% reduced risk of acquiring infection compared with persons who did not wear masks under these circumstances.38
  • A study of an outbreak aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt, an environment notable for congregate living quarters and close working environments, found that use of face coverings on-board was associated with a 70% reduced risk.39
  • Investigations involving infected passengers aboard flights longer than 10 hours strongly suggest that masking prevented in-flight transmissions, as demonstrated by the absence of infection developing in other passengers and crew in the 14 days following exposure.40,41
At least ten studies have confirmed the benefit of universal masking in community level analyses: in a unified hospital system,42 a German city,43 two U.S. states,44, 45 a panel of 15 U.S. states and Washington, D.C.,46, 47 as well as both Canada48 and the U.S. 49-51 nationally. Each analysis demonstrated that, following directives from organizational and political leadership for universal masking, new infections fell significantly. Two of these studies46, 47 and an additional analysis of data from 200 countries that included the U.S.51 also demonstrated reductions in mortality. Another 10-site study showed reductions in hospitalization growth rates following mask mandate implementation 49. A separate series of cross-sectional surveys in the U.S. suggested that a 10% increase in self-reported mask wearing tripled the likelihood of stopping community transmission.53 An economic analysis using U.S. data found that, given these effects, increasing universal masking by 15% could prevent the need for lockdowns and reduce associated losses of up to $1 trillion or about 5% of gross domestic product.47

Asshole
 
Does that look like a study of "2 people"?

Fucking moron

Asshole

Obviously I did since I gave you three examples from you link, cock sucker.

From your first bullet: "An investigation of a high-exposure event, in which 2 symptomatically ill hair stylists."

So it wasn't a test, it was an INVESTIGATION of ... TWO ... people. That was the first, go to example. It wasn't even a study because they can't give people covid in a study. It was an "investigation" ... of TWO people.

You're a Democrat, you're a cultist and you just lie like Democrats do

Two fucking people, you are a cultist, a racist and a total moron

You read one paragraph and just stopped reading?

You're THAT reading challenged?

It was too much of an effort to read any further?

Ya know what "first" means? Yea...there are more to follow...

Fuckin Trumpers.
