Do Masks Work?

[jc456]

I particularly like this read. So, the anti-wuhan folks have been saying death certificates can't be trusted on deaths due to wuhan, and this gem comes out from the other side. Folks, if talking out both sides of one's mouth wasn't demofks greatest talent, I don't know how else to demonstrate that. But, here you go.

In this age of supposed scientific medicine and a pandemic, we are relying on death certificates for statistics on the cause of death, even though they are known to be extremely unreliable.

BTW, it is exactly what I have said since the first wuhan death was declared.

 

[jc456]

Yes and N95 masks are the best choice here PERIOD

masks don't stop viruses. ask any doctor.

 

[jc456]

You're reply proved it.

I know.

Do Masks Work?​

Answer: Yes!

nope, they don't stop viruses.

 

[jc456]

Then shut up and don't wear one.
Why try to kill others with your stupidity.

you still think non sick people kill others. Well they sort of do, car accident, shootings, etc.

 

[jc456]

Show us.

Image of mask box warning label is being misinterpreted

Online rumors continue to claim that different face masks are ineffective in protecting against the spread of COVID-19.

www.politifact.com

and politifact trying to say it doesn't say what it says. dudes and dudettes. this is fking hilarious.

 

[danielpalos]

...better than Nothing as the right-wing would have us believe.

 

[Dadoalex]

Go put your face diaper on...ya fuckin drone.

Gladly.
Whenever my fully vaccinated self enters a place with increased risk, mask up.

NOT to worry though.
I'm sure the children you kill by refusing to practice simple safety protocols will never have grown up to support Trump anyway.

People are placing the health of their family on a translation from Chinese to English?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It's like noe of these fools ever bought something off the internet.

BWAHAHAHAHA

ASYMPTOMATIC

Just cause your nose ain't running don't mean you ain't sick.
And, w/o the mask, if you're sick, you're spreading
and killing your friends, family, and children.

masks don't stop viruses. ask any doctor.

I have...and they all support mask use...in fact insist on it

 

[DukeU]

Gladly.

If the mask works why the vaccine? If the vaccine works, why the mask?

 

[Lesh]

If the mask works why the vaccine? If the vaccine works, why the mask?

If seat belts work...why have air bags . Why have speed limits?

Yes masks work

Filtration for Wearer Protection​

Studies demonstrate that cloth mask materials can also reduce wearers’ exposure to infectious droplets through filtration, including filtration of fine droplets and particles less than 10 microns. The relative filtration effectiveness of various masks has varied widely across studies, in large part due to variation in experimental design and particle sizes analyzed. Multiple layers of cloth with higher thread counts have demonstrated superior performance compared to single layers of cloth with lower thread counts, in some cases filtering nearly 50% of fine particles less than 1 micron .14,17-29 Some materials (e.g., polypropylene) may enhance filtering effectiveness by generating triboelectric charge (a form of static electricity) that enhances capture of charged particles18,30 while others (e.g., silk) may help repel moist droplets31 and reduce fabric wetting and thus maintain breathability and comfort. In addition to the number of layers and choice of materials, other techniques can improve wearer protection by improving fit and thereby filtration capacity. Examples include but are not limited to mask fitters, knotting-and-tucking the ear loops of medical procedures masks, using a cloth mask placed over a medical procedure mask, and nylon hosiery sleeves.31-35

Human Studies of Masking and SARS-CoV-2 Transmission​

Data regarding the “real-world” effectiveness of community masking are limited to observational and epidemiological studies.

• An investigation of a high-exposure event, in which 2 symptomatically ill hair stylists interacted for an average of 15 minutes with each of 139 clients during an 8-day period, found that none of the 67 clients who subsequently consented to an interview and testing developed infection. The stylists and all clients universally wore masks in the salon as required by local ordinance and company policy at the time.36
• In a study of 124 Beijing households with > 1 laboratory-confirmed case of SARS-CoV-2 infection, mask use by the index patient and family contacts before the index patient developed symptoms reduced secondary transmission within the households by 79%.37
• A retrospective case-control study from Thailand documented that, among more than 1,000 persons interviewed as part of contact tracing investigations, those who reported having always worn a mask during high-risk exposures experienced a greater than 70% reduced risk of acquiring infection compared with persons who did not wear masks under these circumstances.38
• A study of an outbreak aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt, an environment notable for congregate living quarters and close working environments, found that use of face coverings on-board was associated with a 70% reduced risk.39
• Investigations involving infected passengers aboard flights longer than 10 hours strongly suggest that masking prevented in-flight transmissions, as demonstrated by the absence of infection developing in other passengers and crew in the 14 days following exposure.40,41

At least ten studies have confirmed the benefit of universal masking in community level analyses: in a unified hospital system,42 a German city,43 two U.S. states,44, 45 a panel of 15 U.S. states and Washington, D.C.,46, 47 as well as both Canada48 and the U.S. 49-51 nationally. Each analysis demonstrated that, following directives from organizational and political leadership for universal masking, new infections fell significantly. Two of these studies46, 47 and an additional analysis of data from 200 countries that included the U.S.51 also demonstrated reductions in mortality. Another 10-site study showed reductions in hospitalization growth rates following mask mandate implementation 49. A separate series of cross-sectional surveys in the U.S. suggested that a 10% increase in self-reported mask wearing tripled the likelihood of stopping community transmission.53 An economic analysis using U.S. data found that, given these effects, increasing universal masking by 15% could prevent the need for lockdowns and reduce associated losses of up to $1 trillion or about 5% of gross domestic product.47

Yes masks work

Exactly. Too damn many mandates from our government.

 

[Missouri_Mike]

Nonsense.

Tell you what...the next time you or anyone you love has surgery...insist nobody wears a mask. Ok?

Are they 100% effective? No. You do a better job of protecting yourself with proper PPE than you do without.

If your surgeon shows up in a fucking neck gator you better get another surgeon.

 

[DukeU]

Yes masks work

So, wear yours and you are safe right?

 

[Gabe Lackmann]

Gladly.

Fuck em...daddy needs lebensraum.
Now go put your face diaper on so you don't risk a case of the sniffles...pussy.

 

[Concerned American]

Of course Masks Work.
You RWI's are disposable.

Sure they work--bandits have been using them to rob honest folks for years.
For stopping covid? Only in your dreams, according to the Annals of Internal Medicine.

Study: Masks Fail to Filter Virus in Coughing COVID-19 Patients

About that mask recommendation...

www.medpagetoday.com

The authors pointed to earlier research showing particles 0.04 to 0.2 μm "can penetrate surgical masks." For the coronavirus responsible for SARS, particles were estimated to be within that range at 0.08 to 0.14 μm, they said.


"Assuming that SARS-CoV-2 has a similar size, surgical masks are unlikely to effectively filter this virus," they wrote. "The size and concentrations of SARS-CoV-2 in aerosols generated during coughing are unknown."

Try again, moron.

I'm talking about N95's ...

You got a problem with it?

start your own thread about n95 then.

this isn't about that.

got a problem with that?
