The date of the article. Very appropriate.
“Masks, including cloth masks and surgical masks, have measurable efficacy at preventing infected people from transmitting viruses to others.
“
Does the article show the “science” on this? I don’t want to read the whole darn thing. “Measurable effect”, yeah, what’s the amount? Teeny Tiny I bet...
Eff that. Estimations on top of grotesquely wrong information on top of liberal politics makes the end result that only a Fearper can love.
You love this, DannyTN, only to the extent that it’s the compromise position to your ideal of banning all people from ever coming out of their homes, including medical and governmental employees.
Your position disgusts me.
I dont mind wearing a mask.
And dark sunglasses with a ball cap pulled down low.
I point my “face” right at security cameras.
The can probably tell I am laughing but that is about it.
Its going to be even more fun when the progs freak next fall and claim there are “re-emerging outbreaks” in an attempt to demand fraud-by-mail.
Mask - shades - ball-cap - jacket - gloves.
Last winter I would have gotten busted by security for going in a store dressed like that.
Plus all those “for your safety” facial recognition proponent jerks must be screaming at the walls these days.
Good.
.
Do you have a study with hard data on the number of people infected by asymptomatic carriers?
All I’ve seen in the studies I’ve read so far are models, inferences, and estimates, with ridiculously high error bars, but no hard data.
GTFOoH
The mathematician in me cringes every time I see this sort of nonsense. There is no imaginable basis for these numbers that could possibly be anywhere near accurate. It's a lie hiding behind "statistics". As an honest statistician, that disgusts me.
We need all healthy people to get this to fight this thing, completely backward thinking
Total crap article. Could be effective? That means it could not be effective too. Measurably effective? What about the known positive people who now go out in public because they have a cloth mask, which they are wearing improperly? Asians wear masks? What about the Asian populations who live elsewhere, don’t wear masks and are still unaffected?
Wearing masks while shopping in stores is a small price to pay for opening the economy.
Not this shit again ...
Two comments:
1. Regarding “Thus, seemingly healthy people, including young people, are spreading the virus by transmitting it to others.”
There is no proof of this.
2. Who is paying you to post and say all this crap?
“Masks, including cloth masks and surgical masks, have measurable efficacy at preventing infected people from transmitting viruses to others.”
Sorry dude, but there is NOT broad agreement on that.
I think it’s really cool someone’s virus-infected breath gets sucked back into his brain.

When this virus was first recognized as a threat, the “big difference” was that, since it came from
animals, humans had no immunity to it. Is that a correct statement? Or am I just making that up?
Since I know I’m not just making that up, then I would like to ask this. If humans have no immunity then why is a large percentage asymptomatic? I’ve asked this before and have received no answers.
So, you have covid. You have no symptoms. But you have no immunity? OK then......
Germophobia of COVID-19, which itself is also nasophobia, the fear of contracting a specific disease, can be cured with proper professional mental health therapy.
There has been zero testing to see if asymptomatic people shed a viral load high enough to cause illness
Asymptomatic people haven’t been tested for anything except a few tests for antibodies
Tell me how often people wearing cloth masks sterilize them
An article by a bunch of clowns that probably didn’t take any science courses in their pursuit of multiple degrees, don’t even have productive jobs and cite no replicated studies to back up their unsupported speculative claims.
