Face Masks Really Do Matter. The Scientific Evidence Is Growing.
Face masks are emerging as one of the most powerful weapons to fight the
novel coronavirus, with growing evidence that facial coverings help prevent transmission€”even if an infected wearer is in close contact with others. Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said he believes the pandemic could be brought under control over the next four to eight weeks if €śwe could get everybody to wear a mask right now.€ť Researchers from around the world have found wearing even a basic cloth face covering is more effective in reducing the spread of Covid-19 than wearing nothing at all. And many are now examining the possibility that masks might offer some personal protection from the virus, despite initial thinking that they mostly protect others. https://www.wsj.com/articles/face-ma...ng-11595083298 |

Like I said, it can only ever be an assumption. If you were an honest person you'd admit that." Note: "May be related to", "could be counfounded by". You're own statement above states that since there's a 10% chance someone is a Republican that you can't claim she's a Democrat because 90% ARE ... Geez, Bod ... make up your mind. Masks don't work because a study says they "may be related to, or could be" something else. There is NO definitive causal connection between masks and lowering anything. IT's a guess! PURE CONJECTURE, INTERPRETATION of data in order to manipulate people into doing what they're told. "Universal masking at MGB was associated with a significantly lower rate of SARS-CoV-2 positivity among HCWs. This association *be related to* a decrease in transmission between patients and HCWs and among HCWs. The decrease in HCW infections *could be confounded by* other interventions inside and outside of the health care system (Figure), such as restrictions on elective procedures, social distancing measures, and increased masking in public spaces, which are limitations of this study." -- Maggie |
