'...deadly...'
It really makes sense....If you got it...the mask would increase the chances of replicating it since it was not mixing with fresh air.
2 years of study to state the obvious.
This makes actual sense. It is said very well here. Everything people were told or forced to do made matters worse.
That was no accident because we were told we were in the hands of “experts”.
Most people here still wear masks and almost freakout when you(not wearing a mask) pass them ,LOL
O.K., it suggests that while wearing the mask the wearer either (a) already had a Covid19 infection or (b) got the Covid19 infection, and in either case continued wearing the mask post-infection for some time, thearby, via repetition of exposure to active virus in the mask, increased the total viral load being received.
In the case where the wearer was not already infected, there may have been exposure to the virus from someone else, but it would have been a single exposure, instead of repeated contact with active virus elements in the mask, and thus the total viral load they were exposed to was likely less than if they had a mask on; according to the theory in the study.
But, I am not sure that the effect is materially the same in the case of someone who already has an ongoing active Covid19 infection in their system. Does the theory suggest that in their case the already active infection gets worse?
Tell that to all the New Jersey freepers who still believe in the power of the cheap piece of cloth. In Manhattan yesterday I would estimate 15-20 pct of people still wear the face hijab OUTSIDE.
BKMK
interesting
Wow. Some quack publishes a BS study (and names the ‘effect’ after himself ! ) in a second or third rate publication (because no other would pick it up) and people are treating it like the gospel. People will willingly believe anything that reinforces what they already believe.
How is constantly breathing and talking through a non-virus filtering snot catcher good for your health? Just think about it.
And how does adding another non-virus filtering snot catcher or two make it any better?? Seriously? That’s “The Science” answer to covid?? Lol.
These people really need a sanity check before they can go outside to play and they’re the ones giving advice and telling us what to do?
Wtf, over and out. Beam me up, Scotty. We’re outta here. These people are crazy.
Thanks! Good study. Well done. Hard to argue against. Really good methodology.
Reading now...
I stopped at a red light and noticed the woman in the car beside me had her mask under her chin. Both of our cars had the windows rolled up.
I sneezed. She jerked her head to look and she immediately put her mask on.
I reflexively stop reading when I see the word “bombshell”.
