Published in Forbes on 1/9/21:Not per capita and you have to factor in population density, come on y’all this is 9th grade human geo stuff
Have you not realized that most mask are for show? Virtue signaling has reached an all time high.Had anybody else noticed that the masks the coaches are wearing are just for show. You can see their faces through them. After researching, the mask they are wearing is the Shema97 mask. It filters down to 1 micron. The size of COVID-19 is .12 microns. For comparison, an N-95 mask filters down to .1 micron. Point being that these masks, like most, are just for show and don’t do much at all to protect anyone from COVID.
Oh really? You mean that people debunk them without any science actually backing it up and people don’t take to wearing them seriously?Have you not realized that most mask are for show? Virtue signaling has reached an all time high.
Okay - per CDC over the past 7 days - infections per capita. Updated Jan. 15, 2021. Looks like New York and California still make the top 8 cut.Deaths per capita is a health care access and treatment issue, a better indicator to whether mandates are effective (which are meant to restrict THE SPREAD of covid) is infections per capita
State/Territory | Average Daily Cases per 100k in Last 7 Days |
---|---|
Arizona | 126.5 |
California | 107.9 |
Oklahoma | 95.5 |
South Carolina | 91.8 |
Rhode Island | 91.6 |
Georgia | 91.1 |
Utah | 90.2 |
New York | 88.1 |
In chess terms, I think I'll tip the king unless your willing to offer me a stalemate. We're going to have to agree to disagree. I'll not change your mind and you'll not change mind. I'll continue to fight against what I consider unwarranted government intrusions. I'd rather contract the virus than cower in a corner with a mask own. I'll never fear hugging my loved ones even if it kills me. Thanks for the spirited debate, my friend.Why California became the nation’s coronavirus epicenter
Despite aggressive measures to restrict movement and save hospital space, California has...www.sfchronicle.com
Show me a study where the mask mandate has helped? Look up the difference of infection in Arizona counties with mask mandates and those without. Just because someone says it’s helpful doesn’t make it so.Oh really? You mean that people debunk them without any science actually backing it up and people don’t take to wearing them seriously?

State policies mandating public or community use of face masks or covers in mitigating the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are hotly contested. This study provides evidence from a natural experiment on the effects of state government mandates for face mask use in public issued by fifteen states plus Washington, D.C., between April 8 and May 15, 2020. The research design is an event study examining changes in the daily county-level COVID-19 growth rates between March 31 and May 22, 2020. Mandating face mask use in public is associated with a decline in the daily COVID-19 growth rate by 0.9, 1.1, 1.4, 1.7, and 2.0 percentage points in 1–5, 6–10, 11–15, 16–20, and 21 or more days after state face mask orders were signed, respectively. Estimates suggest that as a result of the implementation of these mandates, more than 200,000 COVID-19 cases were averted by May 22, 2020. The findings suggest that requiring face mask use in public could help in mitigating the spread of COVID-19.
Association of County-Wide Mask Ordinances with Reductions in Daily CoVID-19 Incident Case Growth in a Midwestern Region Over 12 Weeks
Importance This study assessed the longitudinal impact of new COVID-19 cases when a mask ordinance was implemented in 2 of a 5-county Midwestern U.S. metropolitan region over a 3-month period of time. Reduction in case growth was significant and reduced infection inequities by race and...www.medrxiv.org
Over the 15-week period, the average daily percent growth of reported COVID-19 cases across all five counties was 1.81% (±1.62%). The average daily percent growth in incident COVID-19 cases was similar between M+ and M- counties in the 3 weeks prior to implementation of mandatory mask policies (0.90% [±0.68] vs. 1.27% [±1.23%], respectively, p=0.269). Crude modeling with a difference-in-difference indicator showed that after 3 weeks of mask mandate implementation, M+ counties had a daily percent COVID-19 growth rate that was 1.32 times lower, or a 32% decrease. At 12 weeks post-mask policy implementation, the average daily COVID-19 case growth among M- was 2.42% (±1.92), and was significantly higher than the average daily COVID case growth among M+ counties (1.36% (±0.96%)) (p<0.001). A significant negative association was identified among counties between percent growth of COVID-19 cases and percent racial minorities per county (p<0.001), as well as population density (p<0.001).
I can find more if you want but it’s not hard
How when they pull the mask down to talk or yell, which is LITERALLY the main reason for wearing it, for when you're talking/shouting.I think it's more effective than hiding what they're saying with a playbook or sheet of paper.
Can we just stop the “freedom” crap? Unless you are opposed to seat belt laws, smoking bans and criminalization of drugs then you aren’t worried about “freedom”. This is just the excuse of the small crowd who have been convinced masks are anti-Trump.
I am against seat belt laws. That is a personal choice. I choose to wear a seat belt everytime I get in a car. I choose to wear a mask when I go out. I choose my own safety. I also expect others to make their own choices. We'll see how decriminalization of hard drugs goes in Washington. I bet that won't end well. Criminalization of hard drugs is supposed to curb addictive behaviors, which lead to more crimes and a detriment overall to society. Addicts do crazy shit to get their next fix, and don't care if they hurt people. I am for decriminalization of marijuana since it is less harmful than alcohol overall. That was always a money thing for the government because they can't tax it if you just grow it yourself.Can we just stop the “freedom” crap?

Studies have shown that on non porous surfaces like steel and plastic it can live up to 3 days. However it is unlikely there would be enough virus on a surface at that point to cause issues. It is generally understood that the potency period for contact infection is around 2 hours.Different question: does the virus on a surface die after 3 days?

I know that some companies we deal with have a rule where a positive COVID response requires lockdown until a full clean can occur which does fall outside of the 3 day window in some cases. Others have instituted a rule where a positive test results in quarantine of others on the site when can result on shutdowns.So, my conclusion is that events that happen more than 3 days from a previous event in that venue should not be locked down due to COVID cleanup issues, only due to social distance issues, right?

I think most people are being overly cautious even beyond recommendations because they don’t want to either be sued due to an increase in positive results or be known as the business that caused an outbreak.
This is copied directly out of the second article:Those are
The reason shirts shoes are required now is most stores now serve some type of hot food would you want you waiter to bring you your food naked?All you mask wearers are sheeple! This isn't just the beginning - this has been going on for a long time! First, a long while back I was told I'd have to wear pants and underwear if I wanted to go out in public. But you know what, I didn't fight it because I didn't know what a slippery slope was at the time. And besides, at that time my personal mantra was "no shirt, no shoes, no problem!" So you can imagine my dismay the first time I walked up to a 7-Eleven and my mantra was co-opted and switched up by the man so that now I had to throw a t-shirt on to get a dang slurpee! I don't even know why Big Government put those rules in place, but this whole "plague" is just an excuse to force us to wear another article of clothing. Where does it end?!?! Mandatory ear muffs?!? This government control is bringing me down.
