Random schlub says that the best weapons to controlling COVID-19 are......

......masks and social distancing.

Moderna's CEO says vaccines aren't a 'silver bullet,' people must still social distance and wear masks

But what does he know, his company has a 94.5% effective vaccine.

This isn't a partisan study by talking heads.

But you should feel free to die in a COVID-19 ICU and/or kill others around you.

FYI -

The Times notes that the research “did not contradict growing evidence that masks can prevent transmission of the virus from wearer to others”—but adds that the study’s findings are at odds with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which just last week endorsed the view that face coverings protect individuals from contracting the virus.

MASKS DONT WORK

Quote:
A recently completed research study by Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in cooperation with the Naval Medical Research Center and published in the New England Journal of Medicine has found that strict quarantine, tightly controlled social distancing, and continuous use of masks did absolutely nothing to contain the spread of COVID-19, and might even have increased its spread.

First, the study used 1,843 Marine volunteers, individuals well trained to follow orders as well as the required procedures. Second, their quarantine took place at Marine facility under the supervision of the military. Both factors meant that the volunteers were going to follow procedures much more correctly than the general public.

Third, no one could enter the study without undergoing 14-days of quarantine beforehand, plus a test to prove they were negative of COVID-19 at the study’s start. The study itself was held in a tightly controlled quarantine campus run by the Marines.

The volunteers then had to follow this incredibly strict quarantine regiment:

studies show

Yet you link to an article that cites the CDC's stating otherwise.

You can prove me wrong by not wearing a mask in a crowd as often as you can over the next several months.

I'll wait.

Im saying there are many legit studies that say it means nothing and I linked them!

Deal with it!

I wear a mask because in my State its mandated......PERIOD!


Truth is

No one has a clue!

Truth is

No one has a clue!

And you also linked a study that says it does!

So, roll the dice, take a chance.

What have you got to lose?

 

[BusterDown]

its what I said

no one has any idea what to do or not!

 

[islandman]

its what I said

Most people have a sense of self-preservation.

What else are you missing?

 

[BusterDown]

yes, most do

but STILL the evidence of it working is there and isnt there.....

but its the

JUST DO SOMETHING mentality....

The only thing that this post shows is your utter stupidity. Try studying, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Germany. What is their Covid record like? What are they doing differently?

They're all wearing masks and social distancing. So why have they succeeded and why has your nation been such a hopeless failure?

 

[islandman]

To be clear, your issue is that there's no bulletproof evidence that masks work?

Well, I guess that's one more vaccine dose for others.

So is Europe

“Schools are not a main driver of community transmission, and children are more likely to get the virus outside of school settings,” UNICEF said.

yet in NY schools close

you know why?

cause the UNION wants closed schools......

The study confirmed what we already knew, I wear my mask to protect others. From the linked NYT article:




Masks prevent people from transmitting the coronavirus to others, scientists now agree. But a new trial failed to document protection from the virus among the wearers.

 

[Aglaopheme]

Here's a little anecdotal evidence to stir the pot.
Friend had to quarantine and get tested for covid after attending a family barbeque. His uncle was the only one with a mask on. Everyone at the barbecue ridiculed him for wearing the mask. His uncle tested positive for covid 19 the next day and was infectious at the time. No one else at the family gathering was infected. Just sayin'.

Exactly!

Because masks work. They worked on 1918...they work now. No mask is 100% effective...that is not their goal. Their goal is to slow down the infection rate. What shocks me more than anything...the stupid don't believe what the doctors and professionals are saying.

But, a partial headline link in an opinion piece I read said otherwise!
