Twitter is completely anti-science. There is no good scientific basis for using face masks, it is like a placebo.

The epidemic is almost over anyway, since most countries are reaching herd-immunity. We can see this in the death-rates. And this decline in deaths is the reason why these masks are introduced at this time. The epidemic is about spreading fear and not about saving grandmas.

I spoke with a nurse and he told me that there are no people being treated in my district any more. Yet the news tells us that more tests show a positive. Maybe the tests show old traces of the virus, and this means herd-immunity. Maybe the tests are just failing and give far too much positives, which that the virus is going away rapidly (this happens often during the summer with flue and cold). And maybe it means that the virus is weakened for some reason.

Would you care to elaborate on your statement? What shit? People like what? Thanks.

People who refuse to wear masks. Covid-19

There are thousands of doctors who tell us that wearing masks will not prevent us from being infected and may damage your health. Do you know something those doctors do not?

Link to your claim? But some people just don't give a fuck about anyone else but themselves.

Some people don't give a fuck about thinking critically for themselves and opposing oppressive government and only go along with all the propaganda bullshit because they are mindless sheeple.

It IS my answer.

There’s no use arguing with someone who won’t listen to your facts and logic. Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your message!

I appreciate your appreciation! ;P

https://www.livescience.com/are-face-masks-effective-reducing-coronavirus-spread.html

I couldn't find the CDC/NHS article, but the link above covers it pretty well. The science says the mechanistically the masks should reduce spreading, but every test on actual spread has shown no significant change. Basically, aside from quarantining everyone, there isn't a known way of impacting the spread of this sort of virus. What we do know is that medical treatments that improve and regulate the immune response in an infected person will have an impact on how severe the infection becomes.

But some people just don't give a fuck about anyone else but themselves.

Fortunately, the people publishing their studies include their data so we can test it ourselves to see if it is fabricated or not. We don't have to trust that they actually care about us.

She knows that according to over 1000 doctors all you need to be protected from coronavirus is a blm pin.

Oh, wrong "people like her", oops.

[–]flush_the_turd 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

did you think that up all by yourself, or did you hear that on fox?

[–]BigFatRetard 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

You wish. It's much easier imagining that those who disagree are just part of a cult.

More and more people like me, lifelong liberals, are waking up to what is being done. Hopefully you realise it soon too.

[–]flush_the_turd 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

are you voting for trump?

[–]BigFatRetard 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

That would be impossible.

Given the alternative, I would though. Let's see if the Democrats make it legal for illegal immigrants to vote. I'll illegally migrate and drop off a vote for Trump.

It's ok. The way the left is right now, it's only a matter of time until they kick you out for not being a "true liberal". When that happens, feel free to join the rest of us. It's a big tent, and the people are pretty tolerant of different viewpoints.

[–]JasonCarswell 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

That's NOT why.

It won't be under control because it's an entirely manufactured crisis.

There's no shortage in /s/Coronavirus.

I have so far seen nobody not wearing a mask in public, and only one idiot wearing it wrong. Covid still spreads. Masks help reduce transmission of the virus but it doesn't get rid of it.

Keeping schools closed I'd think would be more important, children aren't known for being fastidiously clean. Or pharmacies, that's usually where I get sick from. It's where sick people go. But people need their daycare public schooling and drugs.

The science behind face masks is laughably weak. There is basically no evidence that masks help reduce the spread of respiratory illness. Look through my post history if you wanna see me tear into these pathetic studies.

Edit: linking the post to make it easier for you.

In Windsor, Ontario, Canada, across the river from Detroit - I RARELY see anyone wearing a mask anywhere except in corporate stores (grocery, Walmart, etc).

Actually there's more than enough evidence in /s/Coronavirus that masks are detrimental to your health and are of no use against viruses. Even the WHO admits it's pointless.

This is your totalitarian government finding out who complies before they unleash their next level shit upon us all.

Children are proven NOT COVID vectors. Sure they're disease ridden rats for everything else. Get informed pal and stop repeating retarded propaganda misinformation.

Your government is NOT on your side.

Quarantine the weak, sick, and elderly.

Locking down everyone else is TYRANNY.

In my country the opening of the schools made no difference. With no masks.
The tests only gave more positives during the holidays. Probably from tourists. And probably mixed with some false positives from cold/corona-virus or vaccines(against SARS or flue).
