COVID cases skyrocket as mask usage skyrockets

Masks do not even work as source protection.

The best evidence I have found shows that they make source infection worse even when N95s are used by trained surgeons.

Now, imagine how well a cloth mask works on kids in a classroom.

You mean "appeal to facts?"

You're gonna have to trust me on this one: people who can't do a simple thing like wear a mask out of consideration for the lives of others during a pandemic aren't "free thinking", rugged individualists.

THEY are the lemmings. Someone on Fox said "talisman of oppression" early on, and they all fell into lockstep.

Talisman was first used in a New England Journal of Medicine article on face masks lol.

Interestingly, none of the pre-COVID literature I've seen supports the COVID Cultists fervent and fanatical faith in the efficacy of masking.

Maybe the COVID cooties are miraculously manacled by masks. :rofl2:

Good luck finding pre COVID literature in the efficacy of lockdowns and quarantines.

It's not impossible, yet.


There are no historical observations or scientific studies that support the confinement by quarantine of groups of possibly infected people for extended periods in order to slow the spread of influenza. A World Health Organization (WHO) Writing Group, after reviewing the literature and considering contemporary international experience, concluded that “forced isolation and quarantine are ineffective and impractical.” Despite this recommendation by experts, mandatory large-scale quarantine continues to be considered as an option by some authorities and government officials.

The interest in quarantine reflects the views and conditions prevalent more than 50 years ago, when much less was known about the epidemiology of infectious diseases and when there was far less international and domestic travel in a less densely populated world. It is difficult to identify circumstances in the past half-century when large-scale quarantine has been effectively used in the control of any disease. The negative consequences of large-scale quarantine are so extreme (forced confinement of sick people with the well; complete restriction of movement of large populations; difficulty in getting critical supplies, medicines, and food to people inside the quarantine zone) that this mitigation measure should be eliminated from serious consideration.

I don't recall claiming to know more than anyone else, but you were the author of these unsubstantiated statements:

The correlation is a lagging indicator. It takes time for mitigation efforts to show results.

It was just a rule of thumb and my simple opinion. Around two weeks, but some people are asymptomatic and contagious at that time. Only non-Covid cultists ignore the stress in capacity to our healthcare system due to the pandemic. Why are some locations renting refrigeration trucks to keep corpses when morgues are over capacity if the pandemic is only a right wing Hoax?

It appears that you habitually misrepresented your "simple opinion" as a fact.

BTW, "you" isn't a proper noun, and unless it begins a sentence, it shouldn't be capitalized.

Whoever paid for your education is entitled to a refund.

Are you pretending that a meme that depicts a modern caption about masks superimposed on a historic photograph taken in San Francisco in 1918 proves that the "entire nation" shut down for the 1918 pandemic?

If so, I believe that whoever paid for your education is not only entitled to a refund, but they also stand an excellent chance of being awarded monetary damages.

LOL, you are such a dimwit. That isn't what 'appeal to authority' means. 'Appeal to authority' would be, for example, citing YOU for some health care information because you sweep the OR after a surgery. Yes, I am informed by those who have spent their entire life studying viruses. Not some knuckledragging wanna be healthcare guru.
