Coronavirus.

How the fuck did you get a camera in my bedroom?

I work for the gubberment.
We snuck a microchip into your beard whilst you were snoozing on top of your cash pile.
We are watching you.

there is zero science supporting mask use in outdoor environments including during exercise and including during outdoor dining, and including walking down a footpath.

You didn't read one word he wrote, did you?

also from the CDC:

Almost 85% of ppl who got Covid were wearing masks.

Almost everyone wears surgical masks, however surgical masks only protect people from large droplets and sprays. But this is not how Covid spreads. Covid is of most risk when it is contained in small particles which easily bypass face masks In aerosol form.

Droplets quickly fall to the ground but aerosol lingers.

People should also be wary of placing reliance on ‘Authoritative sources’ (LOL), like the CDC. As an example it was the director of the CDC who had this to say about masks and the vaccine:

This is the 4th time I've pointed out that you don't understand this research you keep posting. It literally states it in the summary:

"What are the implications for public health practice? Eating and drinking on-site at locations that offer such options might be important risk factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Efforts to reduce possible exposures where mask use and social distancing are difficult to maintain, such as when eating and drinking, should be considered to protect customers, employees, and communities."

The research is saying that increase infection happens where people can't wear masks. Which is literally what I said.

Why do you keep doing this? Why do you keep pretending that you understand this stuff? Why do you keep spreading bullshit?

The study found that 85% of participants who wore masks got covid anyway.

The majority of people I have spoken with don’t believe masks are any benefit. There purely wearing because they have to as to avoid a fine. A lot have the throw away ones, good for four hours apparently, and just continually use day after day after day. Seems silly to wear in car though, especially with the humidity and fogging up of sunglasses whilst trying to drive. Oh well she’s one messed up world at present

 

[Tassie Devil]

Its interesting seeing this fixation on masks which perhaps presents the real issue at play. Peoples lack of education on the matter.

Masks are seen by too many, and also regrettably presented by some as the main deterant of spreading covid. While without doubt it goes a long way to helping stop the spread, if you don't couple it with other prevention strategies it really doesn't mean squat.

People have been infected with covid even tho they were wearing masks? Were they maintaining the proper social distancing? Maintaining the correct hygiene standards? Were the areas properly ventilated? Were the people self isolating when presenting any symptoms? Are they avoiding touching their own face? Were they even wearing the masks properly?

The thing is, mask wearing should be a part of a multilayered approach to preventing the spread of covid. It's only one part of the jigsaw. But people keep trying to present it as the only part.

The "I've got a mask on, thats all I need to do" brigade is taking the easy option but not the right one. It's typical of people these days. Do just enough rather than doing everything possible because doing just enough isn't enough. Simple.

Mask wearing is just one part of a multilayered approach to preventing the spread of covid. If you don't so the others then wearing a mask won't do shit.

No. Not even remotely accurate. Please stop pretending you understand this stuff:

"In this investigation, participants with and without COVID-19 reported generally similar community exposures, with the exception of going to locations with on-site eating and drinking options. Adults with confirmed COVID-19 (case-patients) were approximately twice as likely as were control-participants to have reported dining at a restaurant in the 14 days before becoming ill. In addition to dining at a restaurant, case-patients were more likely to report going to a bar/coffee shop, but only when the analysis was restricted to participants without close contact with persons with known COVID-19 before illness onset. Reports of exposures in restaurants have been linked to air circulation (7). Direction, ventilation, and intensity of airflow might affect virus transmission, even if social distancing measures and mask use are implemented according to current guidance. Masks cannot be effectively worn while eating and drinking, whereas shopping and numerous other indoor activities do not preclude mask use.

Among adults with COVID-19, 42% reported close contact with a person with COVID-19, similar to what has been reported previously (4). Most close contact exposures were to family members, consistent with household transmission of SARS-CoV-2 (8). Fewer (14%) persons who received a negative SARS-CoV-2 test result reported close contact with a person with known COVID-19. To help slow the spread of SARS-CoV-2, precautions should be implemented to stay home once exposed to someone with COVID-19,** in addition to adhering to recommendations to wash hands often, wear masks, and social distance.†† If a family member or other close contact is ill, additional prevention measures can be taken to reduce transmission, such as cleaning and disinfecting the home, reducing shared meals and items, wearing gloves, and wearing masks, for those with and without known COVID-19"

Again. Please stop pretending that you understand this stuff. You obviously don't

 

[Dawgfather]

You can try to skew the results but the facts remain that 85% of participants contracted covid while wearing masks.

The best part of your claims to being ‘scientific’ and understanding ‘science’ are when you claim anyone who disagrees with your opinion or some research you reference is wrong and shouldn’t be allowed to voice their own assessment. Which is the very definition of anti-science.

You post research which says the opposite of what you believe and you're questioning my understanding of science?

You are one weird kid.

Could I suggest this as an all venues alternative?

I just wore this to Coles. I’m compliant with the mask policy and felt very Covid safe - no-one would come within several metres of me .

Only one locally transmission..and great testing numbers.

Very good numbers chief. Keep it up NSW!!
