[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If masks don't work, are you going to start demanding surgeons stop wearing them in operating theaters?

You anti-maskers are seriously lacking in the facts and logic department.[/quote]

You are lacking in the facts and logic department when you don’t realize surgeons are wearing correctly fitted N95s which is an entirely different story than an ill fitted cloth mask.  [/quote]

Then you should be admitting that the [i]correct[/i] answer is to have people properly wear adequate masks, as opposed to the [i]wrong[/i] answer that keeps coming up here, of attacking masks and mandates.[/quote]

I think mask mandates should be narrowly tailored. A doctor performing a surgery I think is a high risk for a patient and not a place I would advocate unmasking. Kids in school at a time when vaccines are available are very low risk for complications and not a place where masks mandates are needed anymore. [/quote]

Have you actually ever bothered to look at any of the outbreak data, to see the top types of locations associated with covid outbreaks?  I suspect you haven't, with your clueless notion that there's no risk associated with kids.  Here, for example, is DC's COVID dashboard.   It shows that k-12 and childcare/daycare are some of the top locations associated with covid outbreaks.  Along with bars and restaurants, where people don't wear masks.  https://coronavirus.dc.gov/page/outbreak-data[/quote]

Those are like literally the main places people gather - so it would make sense if anyone is getting it anywhere it would be where people are present. And I think the #1 place for transmission is in the household. Stop driving your kids in a car and allowing them near two inches of water or more - and then we can talk about risks to kids. [/quote]

NO KIDDING that's where people gather.  And as a result, those are the main places which result in covid spreading from one household to the next.  All the more reason why those particular locations should be of primary focus where it comes to reducing the spread, like requiring masks, requiring vaccines and legitimate proof of vaccination, and in the case of restaurants, focusing more on whether they have effective ventilation, outdoor dining, et cetera.  Personally, we rarely eat out, when we do, it's outdoors (when the weather is nice) - but we make up for it by getting takeout from our favorite restaurants to support them.  And to be honest, I don't at all miss the crowds and noise inside a lot of bars and restaurants.

That's just DC data, but nationally, you can be sure it's also been schools, daycares, bars and restaurants that were primary venues that also led to nearly a million people dying from covid.[/quote]
