What percent of public mask wearing is actually effective?

@WuWei

Appeal to pity doesn’t work on me.

Except that is exactly what you were doing.

An appeal to pity for the poor children that might suffer because there were asked to wear a mask during a pandemic.

Oh and BTW - the asthma student would receive a medical exemption to mask wearing based on a doctors diagnosis so that appeal to pity doesn’t fly.

Wearing masks are more of inconvenience than anything…

That’s not for you to say

Okay then… it is tyranny.

That’s not for you to say either, for anybody but yourself.

No one likes wearing masks.

I would prefer not to have to do so.

I wish that everyone who could get vaccinated would do so so we can stop having to wear them sooner rather than later.

Oh no. I’m not appealing to pity at all. I’m observing the panicky immediate gratification of appearances.

Not only is there no “study” on long term psych effects, none of you Champions % Supporters can even prove the face diapers mandates mitigate anything in the street where it counts.

Man in White Lab Coat said…Must Comply.

Critical Thinking replaced by Critical Theory.

Blind faith in “science.”

Tsk, tsk.

You need to update. Masks are required with vaccination.

You have no problem advocating mask mandates for other people’s kids.

Easy to do from the bleachers I guess.

@WuWei

You need to update. Masks are required with vaccination.

Because there is a variant that is ripping through the unvaccinated.

Because that transmission is so high, there is more chance of exposure to the vaccinated and thus more chance for break through infections.

@WuWei

Heaven’s forbid we say what children should have to do while attending school.

@Jezcoe

Because there is a variant that is ripping through the unvaccinated.

Is that why?

@Jezcoe

Because that transmission is so high, there is more chance of exposure to the vaccinated and thus more chance for break through infections.

Is that really why?

Sure you were with the appeal to thinking about the long term impact of wearing a mask might have on the kiddies while in school.

Still better then dead students or staff because the sniffle factories can’t be bothered to be considerate of other people while in school.

I didn’t appeal to anything. I observed and commented on the lack of studies of such. Given that there are thousands of studies about every aspect of this plague, seems a bit strange.

And given “mandates” seems a bit irresponsible.

The idea that one cannot have opinions is dumb.

Especially opinions about public health measures.

Research Finds Masks Can Prevent COVID-19 Transmission in Schools | Duke Today

However there have been studies regarding the impact of COVID transmission prevention measures and they consistently show that the proper utilization of preventative measures reduces the transmission of the COVID virus.

No you will not.

First link -

The estimated secondary attack rate (of all people quarantined who acquired COVID) is <1%

It’s far better than what I could find, but in my opinion not enough for government mandate.

[WuWei]

@Jezcoe

No you will not.

Until when then?

[Jezcoe]

@WuWei

@Jezcoe

No you will not.

Until when then?

We are at an infection rate and rising that is worse than this time last year.

So… maybe when that stops.

But it won’t stop unless I wear a mask?
