[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was doing a curbside pickup at Target and out walks a mom with two kids unmasked. Why? [/quote]

Maybe she needed something (like food items you can't order for curbside) and had nobody else to take care of her kids? I mean, I am lucky my husband and I can divide and conquer so our kids don't go into stores, but i can EASILY think of reasons someone might take them in. Did you try? [/quote]

Are you really that dence? You’re missing the point. She can mask up her kids!

Are you really that dense that you think masking makes kids safe?

“The evidence regarding the effectiveness of medical face masks for the prevention of COVID-19 in the community is compatible with a small to moderate protective effect, but there are still significant uncertainties about the size of this effect. Evidence for the effectiveness of non-medical face masks, face shields/visors and respirators in the community is scarce and of very low certainty.”

https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/publications-data/using-face-masks-community-reducing-covid-19-transmission

And the next paragraph, right there
“ Although the evidence for the use of medical face masks in the community to prevent COVID-19 is limited, face masks should be considered as a non-pharmaceutical intervention in combination with other measures as part of efforts to control the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Limited evidence means there are few studies on the topic, not that masks don't work.

If you cherry-pick anything, you'll get the evidence you want.

Shame on you.

Have mask mandates led to a drop in cases? Have states with mask mandates had better outcomes? Why do you think a non medical mask keeps you safe?[/quote]

Yes.  Yes.

Because yes.[/quote]

So you just know and you have no data. [/quote]

I know and I don’t want to do any work for you. Are you banned on Google.scholar or something?[/quote]
