CA isn’t helping my mask skepticism

Am I going to have to post a damn picture of myself with a mask on?

You goof balls are the ones claiming masks work—yet they don’t seem to be working in CA. Try and kick Trump out of your head for one minute so you can actually think.

Once again, you have no idea what impact mask wearing has as it is one of multiple variables. But I already know that you aren't skeptical, you are just to small a man to admit your error, and you will do anything in service of your Dear Leader. Give it up.

The ‘too many variables’ is my argument lol.

Do you have any other unfalsifiable notions you’d like to entertain us with?

All I know about you is you are a partisan hack and you have some sort of satanic looking thing for an avatar.

Do you live in Portland by any chance?

Nice try. The efficacy of masks is easily falsifiable. But not with your argument. You might want to buy 'The Scientific Method for Dummies'. You clearly need it.

But you just said there were too many variables to pin point whether masks are a factor or not lol. When are there few enough variables to make the determination?

Little low on caffeine this morning?

I don't know.

Are you suggesting that measures aren't helping?

No matter what measures are taken, mother nature WILL run her course. No matter what anybody on either side of the aisle does, says, or believes, mother nature will have her way. We have been fighting the coronavirus since the 1960s, but lefties figured out how to leverage mother nature's curse for political gain.

I'm a revolutionary socialist, I vote, and I am active in converting people to my cause. I am the far left. Joe Biden is not.

I am who you fear, and I love that you fear me.

You should.

Because I want to see the constitution rewritten. I want to see you lot thrown out of power, sundered in ashes, and left to see the wreckage you caused on the citizenry.

For the most part, you are an illiterate internet warrior whose vocabulary was taught to you in a barn.

You may be a commie, but at least you are honest about it.

California reported its largest number of new coronavirus infections in a single day Tuesday, hospitalizations hit a new high and deaths approached record levels as the state continued to lose ground in its battle against COVID-19.

The 11,142 cases recorded Tuesday were easily the most confirmed in any one day since the pandemic began, surpassing the previous record of 9,816 on July 9, according to data from The Times’ coronavirus tracker.

Per usual, the cases aren’t categorized and are all glommed together in one big number so it’s hard to know what exactly to make of it, but that’s beside the point.

CA guidelines mandated masks a month ago. And here there are setting a daily record at 11,000 cases [again, the raw numbers don’t tell us anything regarding clinical cases vs positive tests, but bear with me] so what gives?

Do masks work ‘just a bit’? I was under the impression that if we social distanced and masked, that the numbers would come down, we could open the economy up get things rocking again [well, maybe not too early, since the election isn’t till November].

Maybe someone can explain what’s going on in CA. I have my own ideas but they can wait.

Yep. They're glommed together. Gotta keep the panic going and it's easier to do that by including all
suspected, probable and confirmed (by lab results) together into one big inflated grand total.
There would be a huge difference if we had continued reporting the same as the ECDC has.

You really are a dunce, aren't you? Yes, attempting to conclude mask efficacy by using the number of new cases as a metric is a complete fail. There are too many other variables to draw any conclusions. Any scientist would laugh at you. You know, like I just did. Good grief, do you know anything?

Controversy on COVID-19 mask study spotlights messiness of science during a pandemic

Both Kriebel and Haber agree that masks probably do offer a level of protection, but right now there is no way to tease out how much protection masks offer versus physical distancing of 6 feet or more, or hand washing.

If 2 people meet and both are wearing masks, they are relatively safe. This is simple and clear enough that rightys should understand it.

CA has twice the population of FL. Now who has more Covid19 cases???????

100% of the tests reported to the Florida Dept. of Health yesterday in some locations were positive, other locations reported high 80 and 90 percentiles(this is "statistically improbable"). Virginia has been double counting cases: https://www.mediaite.com/news/virgi...kesmans-claim-state-is-double-counting-cases/

I hear this kind of crap and all I can figure is the same people doing the polling for biden are collecting data for these health departments. In other words, something smells fishy. And I'm talking fish-that-has-been-dead-for-3-weeks fishy. So screw these statistics.

Its just one pathetic and meaningless excuse after another for trump failures.In the meantime the virus is exploding and now we see the governor of GA telling cities that they cannot require citizens to wear masks. Its a massive screwup that will only end when this administration is kicked to the curb
