Blame it in on the rain. Dr. Fraud just lies when he talks. 900,000 died "from" Covid. We need to see if this holds true. He keeps saying it.
The authors and I both know the difference between “proven false” and “unproven”.He is smarter than them….duh
You and your pals have taken two years of kids lives and ruined so many small businesses. Karma is coming for everyone!!!The authors and I both know the difference between “proven false” and “unproven”.
This is a case of unproven. Grace was trying to make it sound like “proven false”, but got tripped up on her middle school math.
Funny how we are back to square one for masks. To many, it's not a suprise. They've never worked, they are not designed to do what talking heads want them to do. N95s are impractical for society. If anything, masks really only stop you from transferring stuff you pick up from a surface to your mouth and nose. They are pretty effective at that. I think one study out of Austrailia demonstrated people touch their faces 23 times an hour. I'm sure the study was done pre SARS-COV-2 and no one really cared. But, from an altruistic point of view, given the cultural obsession with masks, wearing a masks makes some feel better.If there were studies that showed they actually worked, the news would be hammering it home all day long.
What we get time and time again is "inconclusive".
The reason?
Surgical masks were not and are not designed to stop respiratory viruses.
We have hundreds of millions of people using masks throughout the world over the past couple of years and yet we don't find conclusive studies showing surgical masks do anything to stop the spread.
When R changes, it changes the peak height, time to peak, and area under the curve. For anyone with staffing problems this month, all three of those are big problems.
R is a parameter in a system of differential equations. Why do you insist on telling me what it means? Your math topped out at calc, and calc is not enough to do the analysis you’re attempting.
5D chess is now in session!!You thinking is still 3 dimensional. You are playing 2d chess when what is required is 3 because you are always neglecting the factor of time. The peak, time to peak, and area under the curve does not matter at all. We've divorced death and hospitalization from cases thanks to the vaccine (yeah, I know it's no perfect. It would be better if the old people got their boosters). Hospitals are not in danger of collapse. Staffing problems are in huge part due to our continued insane policies dedicated to COVID 0. The ONLY thing you are doing by interfering with an otherwise natural process is pushing things out to a future date and prolonging the emergency.
In April of 2020 I noted that the best analogy for all this is a forest fire. It's still the best analogy. The only thing you are doing is leaving a bunch of dry brush ready for another inferno to burn again
What we should be doing, given the radical impact on hospitalizations, is boosting the over sixty crowd. You want a mandate? Mandate it for that group instead of the group that least benefits from it (children) in the insane continuing pursuit of COVID 0

Was anti vaxxed at first. Now?
Your mainstream press at work.

Not if you read "real journalists". Although, I am still waiting for @dad4 to identify them.If there were studies that showed they actually worked, the news would be hammering it home all day long.
The other reason is that while lab results appear to show at least some level of efficacy of masking - something many Covidians cling to - lab results don't account for human behavior in terms of both how masks are worn by the public and how behavior may be modified by being "masked" where the those who are masked interact more than they would if they weren't masked.If there were studies that showed they actually worked, the news would be hammering it home all day long.

1. you and I both know what I meant. You are being a bombastic prick (you've lost all right to complain about ads) for someone who has been shown to have a limited thought process, and you know it. I'm not trying to be mathematically precise (don't care...it's not important). It was a reduction of point six from the percentage rate of one to the other from two small starting numbers.We are talking about people, not dry brush.
And, if you insist on a forest fire analogy, you are suggesting we do an uncontrolled burn in mid summer with no spare fire suppression capacity.

Covid-19 Hospitalizations Reported in U.S. Hit New High
The nation’s seven-day average reached 140,576, federal government data show, more than the previous high recorded during the surge last winter.www.wsj.com
ps- The whole 2 dim/3 dim thing is just you bragging. You might want to brush up on your percentages first. It sounds kind of lame when you tell me how awesome you are just after you messed up a middle school math problem.
The ad, in this case, is unarguable. Your take on the UK study was completely wrong, and it was wrong because of a middle school math error.Hah the subtle insult again from the guy always decrying the ads. You are such a hypocrite.
In any case, you've been given 2 years to prove your theories. The best so far is a flawed Bangladesh study that didn't even shown any benefit to cloth masks.
Next!
Dad, come on man. I want you to cross over to the side of the TRUTH. Honestly and I mean this, and please answer this question(s) with honesty. I love it when people give it to me straight. Here are my curiosity questions floating in my little brain.The ad, in this case, is unarguable. Your take on the UK study was completely wrong, and it was wrong because of a middle school math error.
Now stop patting yourself on the back and boasting about how awesome you are. It just reminds me of 6th grade boys talking big as they hide their tests under their binders.
