More proof masks work.

Again, the mask mandate isn't working in my state. Besides, where does the Constitution provide for a loss of liberty during a pandemic?

Where does the Constitution mandate driving on the right? Or stop signs? Or speed limits?
Reclaim your liberty, patriot!

We have had a statewide mask mandate in place for months, yet cases continue to surge. The control group is the entire state.

I am looking at the chart for ohio.

As you can see once things started getting bad the mask mandate was implemented and for ~ 3 months things leveled off.


But now cases are ramping up. why?

Here is my understanding... The cooler weather and the restarting of schools create better conditions for covid to spread. Remember: Masks don't STOP the spread. They reduce the spread.

Cooler temperatures create drier air. This allows airborne virus to hang in the air for longer periods of time and travel farther than before.
Also cooler weather draws people indoors more which ,again, promotes transmission.
The verdict on how easily kids transmit is not in yet, but opening schools cannot be helping.

Those are cases...not deaths. People are building herd immunity. You mask wearers are going to be dying from fibers in your lungs in the next 20 years depending on your ages. Idiots.

There are now documented cases of people getting infected by coronavirus twice.


Therefore Herd immunity via infection no longer seems to be a viable option.



Doctors, nurses and hospitals staff have been wearing surgical masks for nearly a hundred years. There are no increased incidents lung disease in this group as far as I am aware. Masks are not made of asbestos fibres or anything similar. Even if it were true that significant fibres are inhaled, the body breaks it down. Your fear of masks fibres in the lungs sounds made up. Where have you been getting your info?

Plus, they aren't even saving themselves from COVID.

The liberals are steering clear of the 85 % of covid cases, being mask wearers.

Lets be clear. this does not mean that you have an 85% chance of getting covid if you wear a mask.


wearing a mask does not protect the wearer.

If you are ina room full of covid infected people, and you wear a surgical or cloth mask, you are still susceptible.

If other people do not wear a mask they can give it to you still.



I dont know how accurate that 85% number is or where it comes from, or what the context is, but it seems like a cherry picked outlier. I dont have time to look into every crazy thing that comes up.

here is an article that might adress it: https://www.wral.com/coronavirus/fac...ctly/19340391/

I love how the left screams 'anecdotal' when it's your post and 'anecdotal' is perfectly valid when it's theirs.

The problem is that you guys don't seem to understand what an anecdote is. The data presented in post # 1 is not anecdotal evidence. it is a massive natural study using the entire population of kansas.

Because they are wearing filthy masks, and constantly touching their face. Mask mandates may actually get us to herd immunity faster.

Furthermore, some masks are worse than no mask. You know, sciencing and stuff? https://abc7chicago.com/amp/covid-du...study/6364791/

The data contradicts your theory that masks cause more cases. The data says the exact opposite.

[TheLiquidGuy]

Left media is saying that you stupid anti-science heretics aren't reading it right. LOLOL The media is going to decide what you read and then they're gonna tell you what to learn from it.

You can look at the data in post #1 for yourself and decide for yourself.



When I look at it, i see how masks are helping.


you may choose to look at it and somehow find a way to say its worse with masks.


I would be interested to read your interpretation of the graph in that case.

See my post #34



the constitution doesn't say we have to wear pants in public either. yet you can get arrested in many states if you dont.


if your behavior is harmful to others government can take action to restrict your freedom.


your right to wave your fists in the air stops at my face.
