The article states it was 39% lower in facilities where teachers wore masks and ventilation was improved! Pretty significant. Significant enough to avoid having to close a school because everybody is getting sick.
Teachers love their days off and working from home virtually. Anything that facilitates that they will love.
Every great lie is carefully woven around a lattice of truths. One of those truths is that covid was never as deadly as they purported. However it IS quite nasty in some cases. My wife had THREE family members die of covid. They got it. A few weeks later they died, delirious. And no it wasn't the vaccine. The vaccine wasn't available where they were at the time. They were all over 60 though. My case was worse than the worst flu I've ever had. I made it back to work in 5 days but that was only with antiviral medication that started to cull it quickly I felt shitty for weeks after that. At one point 4 people in my department at once had covid and were home for 10 days. We almost had to shut down. We could barely pulled our weight with the people we had left. That wasn't some big lie. It happened right in front of me! And in fact, THE ONLY PERSON IN OUR DEPARTMENT WHO TO THIS DAY STILL WEARS A MASK AFTER ALL THIS TIME IS THE ONLY WHO DIDNT GET COVID AND THERE ARE NEARLY 20 of us!!! READ MY LIPS!!!
You people are currently playing one side of a two-sided misinformation coin. You either believe the shit told to you by that side....or you are actually in on the Big Lie yourselves and you know exactly what you are doing and realize how that Big Lie is perpetuated. On one side the virus is a deadly plague warranting government control everywhere, mandates, forced vaccinations (which mostly don't work very well if at all), and that we must wear masks, isolate or die (or maybe go to jail). 90% Bullshit!
On the other side you have the total naysayers that deny that for awhile people died of covid at a rate considerably higher than the flu since it was new and we had not been exposed to it before. You have the idiots that completely deny that masks make a difference even though the excerpts from the CDC website that I sent you AND the one that you showed me (LoL!

) ...both indicate that masks DO significantly lower the spread of covid.. And from my direct experience and not from somebody spoon-feeding me bullshit I've seen that that's quite true. Personally I think healthy people should take the risk and take off their masks. I haven't worn a mask in like 8 months I think. Apparently you morons through your own imaginations think that I'm sitting here wearing one while I write this at work on my break. So all this shows that YOUR argument is also 90% bullshit. You are just as bad as the people on the other side of the tracks feeding into the same Big Lie. You're either idiots yourselves or youre in on the lie in can't be both.
So which is it? Even if the truth doesn't come out here I'm sure I will before long.
