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

No they are not, they don’t have their own air supply.

Which didn’t double blind the presence of a mask or no mask because that isnt even possible.

Which doesn’t even use this virus. And is a review of various studies.

They didn’t show that last.

That isnt really true given that this virus mostly kills those who are way past reproducing.

New Zealand and Taiwan have got pretty close to that.

And a vaccine may well do that too.

But isolation avoids getting infected in the first place and doesn’t necessarily cost anything at all.

In other words, you have no argument, comrade.

You like to pick fights, don't you.

I am always clear what masks I am talking about.

And since we are on the subject, the higher "N" rated masks stop more stuff, but do not decrease infectivity. For that you need a respirator.

Oh Jeeze Joshua,

You should look that one up. There are all different types. Very few provide their own air supply.

As I have said in other places, you certainly like to pick fights.

Of course you never ever do anything like that yourself.

You clearly were not there.

You are just plain wrong about that with infection of the mask wearer.

Wrong.

So, the science be damned, it is what you believe, so it is true?

Prove it.

Prove it.

Prove it.

I will only accept Randomized Clinical Trials (RCT) in other words, the scientific method.

I don't care about your "opinion" or other's opinions. I only care about properly done science. Your "opinion" and/or "belief system" does not make something true.

Do it right. Science baby, science!

You havent cited a shred of science that substantiates your stupid claim that

Nope.

You carefully deleted from the quoting what proved that.

You made the claim.

You get to do the proving.

That’s how it works.

You made the claim.

You get to do the proving.

That’s how it works.

Not even possible to double blind mask/non mask trials.

Just as true of your claims above.

You made the claim.

You get to do the proving.

That’s how it works.

alt.home.repair has a few anarchist protesters.  ;-)

It happens that Joshua Snow formulated :

They don’t get to decide something like that.

Bob disavowed himself of the Duke study in the Dr 22 mile thread. He flip flops more than "Guess of the day Fauci".

Everyone is looking for their greegree, whether it is a mask, a routine or an untested drug.

This is witch craft more than science but if people believe, it is true. Just the fact that "proven science" seems to change weekly seems to demonstrate that.

They just proved that if they can totally quarantine their country they can slow the introduction of the disease but that is tough when your islands are dependant on tourism and most of your goods are imported.

Except the lost revenue from the foreign tourists you turn away.

Troll, probably a former Stasi officer still holed up in west Berlin working for ther Russians Look at his headers.

Not everyone is, some of us have enough of a clue to avoid eating out, going in bars and gyms and barbers and don't use public transport when there is lots of virus around.

Bullshit with that stuff I listed.

Only the fools like you and Muggles.

Bullshit it does.

Bullshit it does.

The only real change with proven science is that it has now become clear that aerosols are more important than was first assumed now that we have the evidence of what happened at that choir practice. That's how real science works.
