Saw 2 people yesterday completely masked up, look like bank robbers.

You still double masking?

Marissa, I always enjoy reading your POV, however, with regard to masks there is literally no argument. There has NEVER been a RCT that showed masks were effective in stoppng the spread of a virus. Even the supposedly superior N95 masks. If someone is wearing a mask they are either virtue signalling or ill informed. Either way I want nothing to do with them. They have every right to wear one, just has they have a right to walk down the street with a banana in their ear. I'm not going to confront them or belittle them, I'm just going to ignore them.

There is an Axiom that goes like this, " Do not make less of yourself " Virtue signaling of wearing a mask out doors is one.

And then there is, That which one claims to have, maybe the very think that which they will become.

things I learned from Covid masks

social distancing is great, too many assholes crowding my space, people in general are nasty fucks

masks finally got people to shut the fuck up

I learned and we all learned that wearing masks kept tiny droplets of spit exhaling outwards up to 3 feet

so now, we all know, the science proves, that when you eat out and the chatty server is leaning over your table, the cook talks over your food, you are eating and drinking their spit

possibly infected spit

While I haven't worn a mask much for the past year, I wore one a few weeks ago while I caught something (not covid, probably flu) because I figured I wanted to minimize exposure to other people. A side benefit I found is that while sick, the warmer air around the mask eased my sore throat.


I dont think its fair to assume that a masked person is virtue signaling. Maybe the person is actually sick too but has to leave the house for something. Maybe the mask is for the wearer's benefit.

natural selection is working . we need to weed out all the stupid people. At this point and time with all the covid vaccine if you catch covid and died i can't really feel bad for you. It is freedom of choice. if you don't want to wear one don't'

Marissa, as soon as someone mentions wearing masks in an operating room in the same discussion about wearing masks to prevent the spread of a virus I know they don't what they're talking about.

Still no NR?
I'll check the obits.

Personally, I don't give a shit if you wear a mask
And make no judgement about you, if you do
For all the reasons listed by Marissa

I just ask you mask nazi morons to give me the same consideration
No matter how loud you scream about it, the results clearly show that your opinion has no scientific factual basis
So stfu

Now, on to more pressing matters
If I were to tongue lash Marissa's mons veneris
Would my IQ increase?
A thought worthy of consideration

If your IQ doubled it would hit 2.

So a 100% increase.

Smile meters would increase 2000%.

Oh the fun.

there is something, an effect, when one believes something.
maybe some people believe the mask protect them and because they truly believe so, it is so.

placebo?

another thing is that for those of us who are not chemists or doctors, is the common sense.
and its hard to argue against common sense.

in this case common sense tells us that a particle cannot get through such a filter the mask has.
now science says something different but for common sense'rs it can be difficult to believe.

traveling a bit in Asia, i always noted them people using masks on airports etc, well before covid came around.
i guess maybe they are also ill-informed.

and i am not wearing masks but can understand some of those who do and their reasoning.
well not the guy in the car driving by himself or the dude walking his dog - with a mask on.
those people are special.

There's really nothing new here in terms of new information. This is basically a repeat of the Cochrane review from 2020 with a few more data points, so I'm not surprised they get the same results when most data had been in their prior meta-analysis.

The one thing I will say is that there's a difference between measuring the *average* effect of masks on community transmission, whereby the people in the treatment arm weren't always compliant about wearing masks, and measuring the probability of infection of a single person who uses a well-fitted N95 (like the 3M Aura which I recommend). This study really doesn't speak to the latter. Something to consider if you wish to continue to mask in crowded public places during any future infection wave, although I would caution anyone to use more than just a mask if they wish to prevent infection.

It appears as though you both pointed to the proximate flaw in the Great Masking of America.
Without training in proper mask usage and monitoring the entire adult population to do so, there is no effective masking.

Let's face it, it was really just about making you feel safer......not actually about making you safer.

yyzed forgot to mention that wearing masks for a few years messed up a lot of
children's social and emotional growth.

Weren't there several studies that concluded that masks didn't really work.
Also the CDC data showed that it was the elderly, those over 59 and many not
in the workforce that died of covid
The younger you were the less likely you would die of covid and yet children
were forced to wear masks at school and the workforce laid off and small
businesses shut down.
The probability of one dying of covid was less than 1%.

If the government was so concerned about the spread of covid, why didn't they tell you
to get a space suits or a shield that just covered your head. At least everyone could
see your face and you wouldn't have to cover your nose and mouth.
