    More proof masks work.

    Early in July the Kansas governor signed an order to make masks mandatory throughout the state in indoor businesses. But the republican legislature had taken action to strip her of the powers she needed to make such emergency orders.

    As a result the mask order was not heeded in most counties. But some counties did implement the mask mandate. About a week ago, the Kansas health department presented data showing the outcomes in counties that did implement a mask order vs those that did not. The red line represents the case counts of (7 day MA) of counties that ignored the mask mandate. The blue line shows the count for counties that implemented the mask mandate. The count is normalized for population.
    July 3 was the date the governor issued the mandate. July 17 is the date where you would expect to start seeing results.
    As you can see, counties with mandatory masks (blue) have maintained a relatively steady case count. more or less just moving sideways on the graph.

    Whereas counties with no mask mandate (red) continued to grow in number of cases. And even though they started with fewer cases than the blue line counties, they are have now surpassed them at an ever increasing rate.

    ONE states statistics (from unknown sources) does NOT make a scientific fact!

    Thats the same as all of these fake "polls" stating Biden is ahead of Trump....but when you read the "fine print" on these supposed polls, there were only 2,000 or LESS voters surveyed!!! That's LESS than .0001% of the voter population in this country. Just more "fake news" spewed out there.

    Kansas has a population of almost 3 million people. Thats a huge sample size. This is the data from approximately 105 counties in Kansas.

    Actually, this is not just a sample. This is data for the entire population. It doesn't get any better than that.

    Apologies about the lack of a link. I updated the original post with a link to the source.

    Oh sheesh...that's old news and it's been debunked. It was debunked months ago. The Kansas "doctor," (I use that term loosely) doctored the chart and put the data on different axis to make it look as though it supported his conclusion.

    You see...Democrats lie...it's just what they do...

    But the chart was consciously manipulated to produce that appearance by comparing the same data (cases per day) on different axes.
    Cases for mandate counties are based on the left axis, with a range of 15 to 25, while those without mandates are based on a secondary axis on the right, with a scale of 4 to 14.

    Democrats will fall for anything--I live in Kansas, I know how badly our governor has lied and deceived.

    You need to actually read the link below. Seriously read it.



    A University of Kansas researcher last week told the Lawrence Journal-World that counties with mask mandates have far less case COVID case growth than the rest of the state, but the Sentinel’s review of the data shows just the opposite – cases have grown more than twice as fast in counties with mask mandates since the end of June. The timing of the misleading claim, as explained later, may not be a coincidence.


    Between June 29 and October 19, the counties that the KU researchers include as having mask mandates went from having 6,514 cases to 44,448 cases, for an increase of 582%. The other counties had a 260% increase, going from 7,929 to 28,520.

    Anecdotal is not evidence. You make the mistake of assuming correlation means causation.
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    War is peace.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Ignorance is strength.
