More fun with Masks in Schools
One more item for today and then I'll leave you all alone because I know some of you won't be convinced no matter if reality hits you in the face.
CDC: Schools With Mask Mandates Didn’t See Statistically Significant Different Rates Quote:

The main problem is these things often come from places like "fee.org" or medium, etc... no idea what fee.org is or why I should believe them over anyone else,, but many others are basically blogs made to look like professional research done by people who obviously have axes to grind. And not that the CDC or anyone else is 100% objective, but there's also a difference between recommending things out of extreme caution and people who hate the mandates finding data that supposedly supports their opinion. You can take a clump of dirt and throw it through a screen door and it'll stop something, even if it's only stopping 1% of the dirt... that's basically the same reasoning for masks and even just a bandana, that it's better than nothing as long as everyone is following the mandates, aren't constantly touching their face and taking off their mask, etc.... and we know that stuff isn't happening. Taking a quiz made specifically for confirmation bias won't change the science around the effectiveness of masks, even if the true effectiveness isn't met in real life situations. A motorcycle helmet can be 95% effective (no idea if that's true and masks are like 30%) in saving the life of every test crash dummy, but IRL if your (or mine or anyone) dumb ass doesn't put it on correctly or decides to drive 100mph in the rain or randomly takes it off and constantly fidgets with it, no one would be surprised when you're part of the 5%. That doesn't make the helmet less effective from it's intended use in a vacuum with no human idiocy to skew the numbers. |

My daughter in high school with mask mandates says there is a cold going around. Kids are sniffling in class but cant wipe or blow their noses while wearing masks and mucous is running out until it starts escaping the masks under the chin. Thats pretty disgraceful

Making it a moral outrage if you get covid is dumb. It’s no ones fault

Viruses that cause colds can spread from infected people to others through the air and close personal contact. You can also get infected through contact with stool (poop) or respiratory secretions from an infected person.

And WTF are kids in school spreading colds? ****in' parents, if it's one thing we should have learned in the past year and a half is to stay the **** home if you're sick.
