    Imagine that: masking and social distancing do work better than doing nothing at all at limiting the spread of an airborne and surface transmitted virus that killed millions and disabled many of millions more.

    https://royalsociety.org/-/media/po...aceutical-interventions-executive-summary.pdf

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...ks-unequivocally-cut-spread-covid-study-finds

    Lockdowns and face masks ‘unequivocally’ cut spread of Covid, report finds
    Royal Society review looks at non-pharmaceutical interventions when applied in packages of several measures


    The review found social distancing and lockdowns were the most effective category of NPIs. Stay-at-home orders, physical distancing and restrictions on gathering size were repeatedly found to be associated with significant reduction in Sars-CoV-2 transmission. The more stringent the measures were the greater the effect they had, the experts found.

    In care homes, measures such as cohorting and visitor restrictions were associated with reduced transmission and reduced outbreaks.

    Additionally, the report found that in school settings, closures and other distancing measures were associated with reduced Covid-19 cases, but the effectiveness varied depending on a range of factors, including adherence and pupils’ ages.

    When looking at the use of face masks and mask mandates, studies consistently reported the measures were an effective approach to reduce infection. The evidence further indicates higher-quality respirator masks – such as N95 masks – were more effective than surgical-type masks.

    Assessing test, trace and isolate measures, studies from several countries which implemented high levels of contact tracing, with isolation of infected individuals and their contacts, found reductions in Covid-19 deaths.

    LMAO. No they didn't, not according to Cochrane, until the authors of the Cochrane study got put under crazy political pressure.

    That "report" is written by people who have an interest in justifying their crazy actions. It's like asking Putin to prepare a report on whether he was right to invade Ukraine.

    The Cochran review did not review COVID-19, and it was looking at masking for influenzas in the 2000s and 2010s. I have put my thoughts on this earlier in the thread.

    Lockdowns and mask mandates were wrong.

    They infringed on your personal liberties 100%. But that’s fundamentally what a government does.

    It's common sense, but there will always be those who won't admit it, because they were too selfish to care about anyone else, and probably still are.

    I’ve been traveling the country lately
    The only people wearing masks are people who have Covid
    The people who are doing this due to media manipulation also believe Harden in Philly

    In China and in totalitarian regimes, yes.

    In the Western world pre-Covid, no.

    Government should ensure people's safety and liberty and otherwise stay the hell out of people's business.

    But the world followed China's totalitarian approach, and is trying to rationalize that insane behaviour after the fact.

    Right wing trolls up in arms that masking still exists despite their endless spamming of garbage tweets is pretty great.

    If certain states enforce masking again then the population of Texas and Florida will go up again

    What people here ignore is the what it did to service related businesses such as restaurants and bars

    Plus you throw in certain states who let people do drugs and loot all day

    you see why they all want to go to Miami like Messi
