Unmasking the mask studies: why the effectiveness of surgical masks in preventing respiratory infections has been underestimated - PMC
Background: Pre-pandemic empirical studies have produced mixed statistical results on the effectiveness of masks against respiratory viruses, leading to confusion that may have contributed to organizations such as the WHO and CDC initially not ...www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
what the study says:
-There are a shit ton of poor studies where people are trying to prove that masks are not effective, but they’re sample size is so small as to be statistically useless. (You can’t really make good determinations with studies of very small sample size.)
- all large studies indicate that wearing a mask, especially with an infected individuals, makes a huge difference in outcomes of people not getting infected.
- Studies were both people have masks provide even better overall protection. Again, because viruses are aerosolized in water droplets when exhaled from the human body and never by themselves. (In other words, the human body is not a military biological weapon that flawlessly aerosolizes viruses and dusts the target area with them.)
- That people will become infected, regardless of if they are wearing a mask or not if they are in a saturated environment where everyone around them is infected. In other words, the viral dose is so severe that there’s no way a mask is going to protect you. (This is why they wanted everybody 10 feet away from each other.)
I understand that people don’t like being told to wear masks. I especially understand that people don’t like being told they should be vaccinated (Because I believe it is a total infringement of your rights…)
however, with regard to the non-invasive aspect of wearing masks… I really don’t see how losing your shit over someone wanting you to wear a mask during a pandemic is a really big deal.
Telling you that you have to get a vaccine on the other hand… That’s invasive… And it’s not OK.
Full disclosure:
This work was supported by the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program (Grant No. 1122374) and by the Hertz Foundation.
This settles nothing. The jury is still very far out on mask effectiveness. Plus, forcing people to wear masks is also invasive and not ok.
Cost of copper besides, today a smart one would use lots of premade pieces with shark bites or just make it out of glued PVC/CPVC.
And surprisingly, there are actually a number of very sharp young plumbers who do know how to properly solder a joint. It’s just fewer than perhaps in the past.
Youre waisting your time debating these people. Minds are set at this point, especially here.Loose my shit because I asked you to support your point.Also that says it does but doesn't really support your point. Their basis is "if it catches some virus it has to work." How much virus does it take to get you sick?
The relative importance of direct and indirect contact, large droplet spray, and aerosols as modes of influenza transmission is not known but is important in devising effective interventions.
These results suggest an important role for aerosols in transmission of influenza virus and that surgical facemasks worn by infected persons are potentially an effective means of limiting the spread of influenza.
So basically, we think you can get sick from aerosols. So masks must be important even though you still release aerosolized virus when wearing a mask but its less.
Pretty much everything you wrote is bullshit. This studies conclusion is based entirely on a false assumption that catching some virus stops the spread. No empirical data on infection rates in places where people wore masks vs places where people didn't. i wonder why they would ignore that in favor of speculation based on PCR testing aerosols.
Have a friend that was stationed at Subic Bay in the early/mid 70’s.
Reminds me about an awesome time !
Since he was stationed there he bought a car. He became the 20 + something owner of a 59 Thunderbird
Where the convertible top would go IF he had one 
(gone many Sailors ago ). No top , used Two folding open Lawn Chairs for seats ! ( had to take with you)
During monsoons , propped the doors open , already had see through floorboards via rust. Thing Is ……he was Stylin Hard over there.
Drive to Subic City , have to run the girls away 
I hope somebody sent that video to his car insurance company too. Mofo started all of this. Nobody was bothering him or caused him to have that accident. Want that car fixed? It's gonna be all outta pocket.
Oh goody! Now we’re off of arguing with each other about cyclists and are restarting the ridiculous argument of pro/con masks.

Even FRAUDci admits that masks don't work at all, and over the weekend he has been getting roasted all over social media for the clusterfuck he helped create. In another article, they were saying how the lockdowns and masks have created a whole new generation of kids whose behavior in school is utterly out of control, and even younger people are now committing crimes, vandalism, robberies, or just trashing and destroying stores and public venues for fun. Can blame that on the scamdemic policies too.
Fauci roasted as ‘fraud’ and ‘liar’ after being confronted with damning study on masks
Social media erupted after Dr. Anthony Fauci was confronted by a CNN host over a study showing face masks made little to no difference in the pandemic.

Happy Labor day, It's also Monday.

Sounds a bit like Reverend Lovejoy in "The Simpsons."
"But, Reverend, doesn't the Bible say we should love our enemies?" "Well, there may be something towards the back."
Gotta keep cool,,, It's gonna be a hot one today
The thing to do is to read the literature about PPE used by researchers that work in BSL1 through 4 laboratories. If you know you are in a high risk environment, you follow the rules or you can expect to get sick or dead. I'll give you a couple of clues based on professional practice: 1) Don't expect a surgical mask to protect you from Covid. 2) If you need protection of N95 or more, plan on learning how to suit up and realize that a mask alone won't do much for you. Most can't fit an N-95 properly and thus fail to achieve protection.
This is very brief and not instructional, but lays out the basics:

It didn’t kill all the protesters (BLM) screaming and spitting in each other’s faces. It didn’t kill all the compliers shopping at big box stores. It don’t kill the hundreds of people I flew with every 2 weeks back and forth to work through all the covid hysteria. Keep drinking the coolaid bro.
I took my son and grandson to the Nimitz Pacific war museum this weekend. I thought this was an interesting picture to show.
‘Playa Cock’: What To Know About The Condition Amid Burning Man Festival Chaos
Once Lake Lahontan 15,000 years ago, the 200-square mile Black Rock Playa, which makes up the setting for the Burning Man Festival, is full of dry, alkaline flats. The Black Rock Desert is the largest example of such and the alkali soil, or soil that has a pH over 7, makes playa cock unique to the area.
Marked by redness, pain and swelling, “Playa Cock” is a chemical burn that Burning Man organizers say is not serious but uncomfortableFestival organizers recommend attendees wear closed-toe shoes, boots and socks so as to not interact with the playa dust.
If a Burning Man attendee comes in contact with the mud or wishes to prevent it, event organizers recommend washing feet in a mixture of ¼ vinegar and ¾ water a couple of times a day and drying them thoroughly to remove the dust.
OMG! I'd fuck that grandma back to WWII.
More like Granada...
