[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Masks do not work. They might help if you commit to not eating or drinking anything when you are in public but during the Spanish Flu it was shown to be ineffective even among people who were extremely diligent mask wearers.

“Epidemiological and Statistical Data, US Navy, 1918,” Reprinted from the Annual Report of the Surgeon General, US Navy, (Washington, DC: Government Printing Office, 1919) 434.

Although the Surgeon General of the US Navy acknowledged that wearing masks by hospital staff was good practice, “the morbidity rate, nevertheless, was very high among those attending the sick,” and may only have prevented infection from a direct, close hit from a cough or sneeze of a patient. The protocols followed in the contagious annex of the US Naval Hospital in Annapolis, MD, were sufficient to prevent cross-contamination of “cerebro-spinal fever” (aka meningitis), diphtheria, measles, mumps, scarlet fever, and German measles. Not so with influenza. In fact, the infection rate of staff was as high in the high-protocol wards as in the improvised hospitals. [b]In one improvised hospital at the Navy Training Station in Great Lakes, IL., the infection rate was higher among those corpsmen and volunteers who wore masks than those who did not![/b]

Mask technology has improved quite a bit since the Spanish Flu [/quote]

But nothing improved in 2020, but y'all act like these magical masks are a forcefield. Just because you didn't get sick on a plane when you masked doesn't mean it "worked".

I keep a rock on my desk to keep the elephants away. I've never seen an elephant yet. Therefore, the rock must work![/quote]

Come back to me when you know anything about the SCiENCE of disease transmission. Not your opinions and anecdotes.

While you are trying to educate yourself (not that a person like you would conduct research beyond Fox News), brush up on large droplets. [/quote]
