Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

As I recall, they said they weren't sure of the benefit, then became convinced by studies and promoted it.

Granted I might have missed the studies that show wearing any old mask helps but maybe you can find one of them for me.

 

[utvolpj]

Masks don't do that.

Masks don't stop the transmission of this virus either. At least not the type being worn in public

Have you been to the hardware store over the last 8 weeks?

(Hint: you have no case)

The virus doesn't spread in hardware stores. If it did everyone in Gallatin would be sick.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Why do you think the number is so low, and more importantly how do we keep it so low?

(Hint: you are making my case)

The state of TN got an "F" in social distancing guidelines being followed.

But yes. Please tell me how we kept the numbers so low.

But....but what about LG's case????

His “ science “ isn’t adding up .

About to submit a paper to IEEE later this week. Considering putting a notice at the top:

"If you criticize this paper you are denying science".

Should really fast track the review process. Got to hand it to the left on this one. Should be much more effective than my normal opening line "If you criticize this paper your mom's a hoe."

"What's a hoe, Alex"

No - the correct question is, "What is a rake?"

Yes they do. Not entirely, but transmissibility is greatly reduced.

 

[Dumbledorange]

I wanted to throw you a bone. OK, let's go with your number. My point stands: get a life

One way to improve a life is to get rid of the jerks in it. Adios.

 

[utvolpj]

Thin fabric masks are not woven tightly enough to stop it.

That was so funny !

Do seat belts/air bags stop people from dying in auto accidents?

Do seat belts/air bags stop people from dying in auto accidents?

Do they always work ? Back to the numbers game .

Used to be when there was breaking news it meant something big was happening. Literally every story on CNN is breaking news now and highlighted red on the graphics. If we were to get attacked by NK or something big and they broke the news I’m not even sure I would pay attention at this point.

The drama is just out of control with this.

At least your sneeze and cough isn't traveling 6 feet and landing on people and stuff.

Gravity is racist.

gravity is a weightist

Yet it actually is.

Is it? Your spit/saliva isn't.

News channels have become no different than NBC trying to fill their Thursday night lineup with hit shows.

It isnt news, it is agenda driven infomercials.

Do seat belts/air bags stop people from dying in auto accidents?

If the airbags are made by Takata they might expel metal fragments, so it depends on where that fragment ends up.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Do seat belts/air bags stop people from dying in auto accidents?

Only if the person in question is wearing a mask.

 

[LouderVol]

I don’t consider being a considerate human being and avoiding killing someone else as fear mongering but to each their own. I realize how much of an inconvenience this is for you guys

So you wear a mask during flu season? Even though Covid is worse you are still putting immunocompromised people at risk during flu season if you arent wearing a proper mask properly. Why are you so inconsiderate?

It's not just convenience that leads people to not wear a mask. I think a noticeable number of people arent wearing it just because the government is incorrectly ordering people to do so. I kinda think you would see more mask wearing if it was a recommendation and it wasnt politicized out the wazoo. Arguing that someone without a mask is killing your grandma isnt a winning argument. They are just going to roll their eyes at you.

Masks have become the dividing line between 1)the irresponsible Trump supporters who defy facts and hold science in contempt, versus 2) those who see that the trivial inconvenience of wearing a mask even for a short period is easily worth it if it keeps just a few people from getting infected.

Not wearing a mask in public has become a badge of honor for the idiots.

Stay home.

 

[Sandman 423]

Yes they do. Not entirely, but transmissibility is greatly reduced.

Do you know the actual #? Hell, get me within 10% of the #.

You brought up seat belts. There is a ton of math that backs them up.

Where is the math on masks? Not talking would reduce the droplets in the air a lot more than a mask, so should we all play the quiet game in public?

Everyone who chooses not to wear a mask is a Trump supporter? Apparently you missed the pictures and videos of all the people not wearing masks and ignoring social distancing while partying outside restaurants and bars in manhattan this past weekend. Who knew that the Upper East Side was full of red hats.
