Most face masks won’t stop COVID-19 indoors, study warns

Yet, another study, this one out of Canada, released pointing out what those of us with common sense have been saying for 18 months. Your daisy print cloth mask isn't doing jack for you other than giving you a false sense of security.

I've been saying this for eons but the left refuse to accept the truth. Masks are better than having no masks - but not much. All mask mandates resulted in increased cases but the left refused to acknowledge that masked people were spreading the virus - it was all of those red state anti-Trumpers, couldn't have possibly been masked people spreading the virus. The fact that masked people believe they are totally safe and not spreading it to anyone cause them to go out in droves - spreading the virus.

"“There is no question it is beneficial to wear any face covering, both for protection in close proximity and at a distance in a room,” says study leader Serhiy Yarusevych..."
 

"Why do most face masks fail to offer adequate protection?​

Researchers theorize many people wear masks that don’t fit their face properly"
 

Mayo Clinic Minute: Study shows masks can prevent COVID-19​

July 29, 2021
Mayo Clinic researchers recently published a study that shows the proper use of masks reduces the spread of respiratory droplets. The findings strongly support the protective value and effectiveness of widespread mask use and maintaining physical distance in reducing the spread of COVID-19.

..."We found objectively that masks are critically important. They're very effective at protecting the people around you. If you're wearing a mask, you're protecting others. If they're wearing masks, they're protecting you," says Dr. Matthew Callstrom, a Mayo Clinic radiologist and one of the study's authors

And you trust crap out of Canada more than you do the American Dr. Fauci. Guess you never heard of "America First!"
 
An ad?

n95 keeps out most everything

medical mask about 80%

cloth about 40%

All better than no mask

How about you try drinking bleach

If I wear double masks will I be double protected like joey?

Prior to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the efficacy of community mask wearing to reduce the spread of respiratory infections was controversial because there were no solid relevant data to support their use. During the pandemic, the scientific evidence has increased. Compelling data now demonstrate that community mask wearing is an effective nonpharmacologic intervention to reduce the spread of this infection, especially as source control to prevent spread from infected persons, but also as protection to reduce wearers’ exposure to infection
 
Then you have been wrong for eons.
What? Did you not read the data? Why are you a science denier? Most masks people wear are only 10% effective. The CDC's own figures show that wearing masks is only very marginally beneficial. Wearing masks is better than no one wearing masks but since they are only 10% effective you have a whole lot of masked people out there spreading the virus while the left blame all increased cases on the unmasked.
 
Unlike you, i read the linked article and even linked some more data. You are wrong, the evidence stands against you, and you are cackling and prancing about a study you don't understand and an article you never read.
During all mask mandates, cases continued to climb. That's the facts. Cases never fell until the vaccines came out. That's because masks only work about 10% so people go out in masse thinking they can't catch anything or spread anything and when cases climb, they just blame it all on the unmasked, which only made up about 10% of the population. With 90% of Americans wearing masks during mask mandates, cases surged until the vaccine came out.
 
Only someone who is dumb or playing dumb would say or imply that means masks don't slow transmission. No need to debate someone who says such stupid things. He beats himself. As you were...
Masks vs no masks with the same number of people slow transmission somewhere between 2% and 10% but slowing transmission does NOT mean cases decrease. During all mask mandates, cases INCREASED. And, the fact that people felt invincible in their masks that only worked 10%, many more people were out and about than should have been, which contributed to masked people spreading the virus.

Slowing rate of transmission does not mean cases decrease. Correct! It means there are fewer than there would be otherwise. Duh.

You don't know what you are talking about. Not even the lead researcher of the study on the OP agrees with you
All the evidence stands against you, as does every relevant professional society of note. Sorry. You are ass backwards wrong.
