A mask test. It would be nice to see this carried to the extreme. (2025 Update)

No it didn't it said "Standard practice" which was that they wore masks when it was necessary but not all the time. Before Covid, the only time people wore masks was during certain procedures. That is still true in the hospital my Nieces daughter works in.

Yes.

That’s a bare faced lie. They didn’t say that.

Irrelevant to what they do when the study was conducted.

? That is still true in the hospital my Nieces daughter works in.

Irrelevant to how those Vietnamese hospitals operate. That’s where the study was done, stupid.

And even in the stupid USA, all those testing people and helping those known to be infected wear masks all the time, for a reason.

And here, they wear a mask all the time even tho there has been no positives in this city for over 100 days now, and require you to show proof of a negative test result in the couple of days before the medical person will even be in the same room as you. And the test is done with you in your own car.

That is her f****ng opinion, not a science paper. You can't tell the difference, can you Comrade.

His prejudices are what pass for science

And how accurate is their reporting.

So all these years we've been wasting time and money of polio, diphtheria, smallpox, etc. Just let out immune systems protect us. Thanks for educating us on that.

Hi Ed,

That is a bad argument. You are comparing things that work to things that do not work. Masks are for decoration only.

-T

Must be why those doing the testing and treating the infected wear them.

From what I have had my customer that were test describe, they are wearing haz mat suits!

Do not mistake professional equipment for worthless N-ZERO face diapers.

Oh brother. Science not your strong suit? But Political Correctness is?

But those include masks, for a reason.

Which include masks, for a reason.

... along with gowns, face shields ana gloves and they are not wearing cloth masks.

Technically, they are respirators, not masks. There is a YUGE difference. Here is a proper scientific study (Randomized Clinical Trial) for you to look at:

A rapid systematic review of the efficacy of face masks and respirators against coronaviruses and other respiratory transmissible viruses for the community, healthcare workers and sick patients

Randomised controlled trials in health care workers showed that respirators, if worn continually during a shift, were effective but not if worn intermittently. Medical masks were not effective

Do not mistake face diapers for anything other than politcal correctness.

1+

And they are wearing respirators too.

Comrade Bob! I don't give a s*it who says it.

Back up what you say with properly done Randomized Clinical Trials (RCT's) or give it up.

And you can't, or you would. All you can do is post someone's OPINION.

Oh and Comrade Bob, if what you say is true, you'd be able to back it up pretty easily. But you can't, because YOU AIN'T GOT JACK!

Science baby, science!

Some battles you can win. Coronaviri don't seem to fit in that category. I read today where Gilead's high priced solution has statistically insignificant impact on symptomatic patients. At least HQ is inexpensively ineffective...

You have to prove your point comrade. Not "opinion" your point. I don't care if he has 25 PHd's. He needs to back up what he pulls out of his ass with actual science.
