Experiment shows masks WORK!
"Kansas counties that have mask mandates in place have seen a rapid drop
in cases, while counties that only recommend their use have seen no decrease in cases, the states top health official said Wednesday. Dr. Lee Norman, the state health departments top administrator, said that overall statewide the numbers of new cases is favorable, but that the reduction of new cases is entirely in the counties that require masks be worn in public spaces. After Governor Laura Kelly put a mask mandate in place last month, 15 counties stayed with the mandate while 90 counties abandoned it, Norman said at a news conference Wednesday. Norman pointed a graph showing the seven-day rolling average of cases per 100,000 people comparing counties with the mask mandates with those counties that abandoned it. The favorable trend line down was entirely in the counties that required the use of masks, while the trend line for those without one was flat, he said. €śDo masks work? Here in this natural experiment called Kansas where we have essentially €” not due to any great design, but it has worked out that way €” some counties have been the control group with a no mask mandate and some have been the experimental group with masks,€ť Norman said. €śThe experimental group is winning the battle. All improvements in case development comes from those counties wearing masks.€ť It is important to understand, he noted, that the 15 counties with mask mandates represent two-thirds of the states population and include the more urban cities with greater population densities. People in those counties rely more on mass transit there and tend to have more racial and ethnic minority populations that are more likely to be infected by COVID-19. The declining coronavirus cases per capita in those more urban counties suggest the improvement in the trend lines could be even steeper in rural counties if they had mask mandates in place, he said." https://www.wibwnewsnow.com/kdhe-kan...ws-masks-work/ |

Cue Muggles, T, etc. I've h eard that using a table cloth for dinner will keep the table clean, but there are no good controlled studies to prove it. Also, I've heard that a runner will keep t he carpet clean, but again, not controlled studies. Also seat covers are alleged to protect upholstery of seats, but no good studies. From tis we can conclude that no covers are good and no studies are good, no matter how they are dne. I heard that on tv. Read the manuals, read the books. |
