>Duhhhhhhh no becuz muh freedoms!!

>you will get respiratory acidosis from wearing a mask
Kek sure buddy

Quoting random studies only impresses brainlet. The only that matter is he meta analysis and it showd that masks do protect against the tranmission of respiratory infections (which isn't really surprising for anyone with common sense).

Will you shill not washing your hands after taking a shit too soon?

clown world huh

>>20030120
this but unironically. we're in the middle of a global pandemic, why don't you people start acting like it? it's true what they say, this is the new normal. not wearing a mask doesn't make you "cool" or "smart", it makes you look like an idiot.

>>20030823
>u dumdum!!!!

>>20030800
Imagine politicizing basic health prevention, muttards truly are subhumans.
I can't wait to see you kill each others in the streets, few more months to wait.

Not saying, just saying

Post the metastudy analysis retardo

I have to wear a mask at my job. Ain't that bad desu I'm used to it

lmao you dumb faggots would probably stop drinking water if the government came out and told people to drink water.

it's becoming more and more apparent that the degenerates on here gambling away their wages from their low skilled job are the same hicks in the south who thinks literally everything is a conspiracy, hurr durr dae earth flat?

>>20031030
I lift, eat responsibly, and don't smoke. I haven't had a cold or flu in over 10 years so no don't think you pal.

>>20031063
fc?

>>20031063
Surgical masks don't work. Wear a dust or respirator style mask, otherwise it's a cope.

>>20030120
I already had the chinkflu and beat it so there’s no need. Wasn’t bad at all, just a mild cough

>>20030180
we had lockdowns in france and it worked

>>20030999
Whyd u leave out two people without masks standing six feet apart?

>>20031116
[They] have been saying that those with antibodies can still spread it (yes I kid you not). Better still wear the mask

>>20030238
If you think it's difficult getting people to put a piece of cloth over their face, just wait until a vaccine is available :^)

>muh I mAdE me MuzZle wITh Me Sock. me E clEver
what a bunch a dumb fucks you imbecile wearing a mask for a virus that never existed should be the first to get chipped vaccined and slaughted,

the moment this virus reached america normal discussion of it became impossible
they love to politicize everything and anything

>>20031156
The only way we get to the end of this is for everyone to catch it. You do want it to end, right?

>>20031094
this, all this covid denial really puts it into perspective what the average user here is like, absolute dregs of society that barely graduated high school.

>>20030214

Now shut the fuck up

My wife is pregnant and it makes her feel better to have a mask on when we go to the store. I dont mind, the fact that people decide to get so upset about it is way funnier than the dirty looks I get from hicks at Wal-Mart.

Face mask use could result in a large reduction in risk of infection (n=2647; aOR 0·15, 95% CI 0·07 to 0·34, RD −14·3%, −15·9 to −10·7; low certainty), with stronger associations with N95 or similar respirators compared with disposable surgical masks or similar (eg, reusable 12–16-layer cotton masks; pinteraction=0·090; posterior probability >95%, low certainty). This is literally in the first article you linked you dingus

>>20031224
That's low trust (aka "diverse") societies for you, they're batshit paranoid and ready to jump at the throats of each others even of it means spiralling into idiocy.

just wear the mask for the flu goys

>>20030214
They won’t let me work or go to my doctor if I don’t. They will literally kick me out. What do?

>>20030800
Uh yes... based department?

>>20031384
>First Study says cloth and surgical masks are near useless
>second study says
>Smith et al. indicated that there were insufficient data to determine
definitively whether N95 masks are superior to surgical masks in protecting healthcare
4 workers (HCWs) against transmissible acute respiratory infections in clinical settings [7]. Another meta-analysis suggested that facemask provides a non-significant protective effect (OR=0.53, 95% CI 0.16–1.71, I
2=48%) against the 2009 influenza pandemic [8]. Xiao et al.
concluded that masks did not support a substantial effect on the transmission of influenza from 7 studies [6]. On the contrary, Jefferson et al. suggested that wearing masks significantly
decreased the spread of SARS (OR=0.32; 95% CI 0.25–0.40; I2
=58.4%) [9]. Up to date, existing evidence on the effectiveness of the use of masks to prevent respiratory viral
transmission contradicts each other.

Maybe YOU should read the studies, brainlet

just wear it

>required to wear a mask to work starting tomorrow by county ordinance
i dont wanna wear a muzzle, but i need $$

>>20030238
In Houston you can't even go to any stores without a mask. All grocery stores have security guards that check you before letting you in

>>20031409
It's the opposite here, if you even pull your mask down past your nose people will give you dirty looks

>>20031384
When you drop a "Now shut the fuck up" isn't it customary for the linked document to actually support your case?

>>20031449
And what's the issue? The Odds Ratio shows is 0.33 for wearing a basic face masks and 0.04 for N95.

It means you literally reduce the risk of being infected by 2/3 when wearing a face mask.

Data analyst for a major US hospital network here with access to literally limitless patient data beyond what you could ever imagine. Wearing a mask helps, the end. Shut the fuck up now christ

>>20032336
>believe tv
kys period.

>>20030180
masks are bullshit, because no one knows how to use them. same shit with fast food workers and gloves. there's zero discipline from randoms regarding hygiene at this level.

>>20032378
>believe facebook and pol instead

>>20032146
No issue, I agree that its worth it to wear one.

Why do the Trumptards memes feel so forced and desperate as of late?

>>20031636
You don't even understand what's you're quoting. I forgot anon outside of /sci/ don't even know what a confidence interval is.
In your first quote the key word is "substantial" here.
The 95% CI of the OR is between 0.16 and 1.71 which means the the results aren't statistically meaningful.

You should spend your time learning some stats instead of trying to nitpick stuff just exposing you as a brainlet.

>>20032336
sure thing mr.brock

>>20032336
How about future projection? Are we fucked for awhile?

>>20032378
haha you right man, I saw on MSNBC that it was "healthier" to not eat feces. Needless to say, to destroy the sjws, I love eating shit now!!

>>20030120
Any information regarding the Wuhan virus before March is truth, any information regarding the Wuhan virus after March is CCP propaganda.

Anti-mask CCP disinfo agents are in full force now, and they're trying to crash the American economy. They're the same idiots who think 5G causes cancer.

>>20032533
you must be an agent to be that dumb

>>20032569
I hope your visa gets denied.

Wait, you guys pretending to wear masks are just baiting, right? No one on here is that stupid and gay so as to wear a literal germ-infested face diaper lmao

>>20032533
5g is like a warm blanket as far as radiation is concerned
2g/3g are like needles that pierce your cells down to your dna
masks are memes
what are you going to do now?

>>20032599
no need to come is your country, you idiot seems to dismiss that you are the ones locked in.. nowwear your muzzle sit on your plug and stfu dumb burger

>>20031322
Disgusting leftist 'arguing'

>>20031106
Post the science that says any of that will prevent a COVID-19 infection. Stupid naive faggot. I never get sick either and can probably lift more than you, but that doesn’t mean a virus won’t affect me.

>>20032507
Hospitalizations aren't bad atm but PPE has been fucking fried which is what is a lot more concerning imo

>>20031094
>t. guberments bitch

>>20032533
What makes me kek the most is the 180° both sides did in less than 6 months.
You were a racist right wing conspiracy nut for saying the wuflu was very contagious and you should take precaution while banning entries from China. Then now it's the reverse, you're a marxist globalist if you still wear a mask and be cautious.
Oh and let's not forget the parenthesis when overexcited joggers rioting is apparently fine and "no transmission happened" while the numbers are bouncing up again 2 weeks later.

America is a loony house, i can't imagine what it will be once elections happen.
