The new infections data clearly shows masks had no impact. Only lockdowns did

Since cases are on the rise, do you believe we should enter another major lockdown with more restrictions?

It all depends on how quickly ICU beds get full again.
If hospitals ICU wards start overflowing Ford will have no choice but to lockdown again.

An evidence review of face masks against COVID-19

The science around the use of masks by the public to impede COVID-19 transmission is advancing rapidly. In this narrative review, we develop an analytical framework to examine mask usage, synthesizing the relevant literature to inform multiple areas: population impact, transmission...

There is no evidence of transmission from free-floating viral particles. The transmission is from respiratory droplets and aerosols, the smallest of which are in the 5 um range.

"The surgical mask blocked about 60% of .03 micron particles and over 90% of 1 micron and 2.5 micron particles."

Surgical Masks Surprisingly Effective Against PM2.5 – Smart Air

Can surgical masks filter PM2.5 and viruses? Many sources say they can't. This data shows why medical and surgical masks protect surprisingly well
smartairfilters.com

"in one study, researchers tested particles down to .007 microns (even smaller than viruses) and found that a simple surgical mask blocked 80%."

"... it’s downright surprising that surgical masks are just as effective [as N95 masks]! Maybe virus particles are actually easy to capture because they fly on water droplets.

See post#12, #13, #15.

The horse already left the barn.

Even if you want mask now. THere no mask available to buy anyway.

Worldwide shortage of mask !!

RIght now all mask being produced are going to governments which they are purchasing for the Frontline health Worker "

PS So stop shaming or lying to the public from wearing face mask to protect their own health due to all governments ( left or right) screwup in the first place!!

PPS I like my lungs & testicle don't want any damages causes by covic-19. Look at Japan and South Korea , and Singapore all their population wear face mask And N95 masks also.


How do we beat covic-19 ?

Bottom line everyone wear a MASKS.

Go to video 22:38


Yes, Governments & fuckup on planning for pandemics ... if government haven't spend billions of dollars on climate changes/ aka " global warming ' in the first place . If they just bought N-95 masks and or surgery facemask for everyone in the face place then Canada ( also rest of the world) would not be in deep shit!

Yes Frontline workers do need the N-95 mask more, but don't shame the public from not wearing the mask first place because of the all left & right government( previous, past , present) fuckup in the first place by not preparing for a pandemic in first place and not stock piling N95 mask.

N95 mask should be in a emergency kit that we prepared at home in advance.

Bottomline
Yes mask do help greatly.

In Asian countries, mask-wearing has been common since 2003 sars. I can see some of the reasons behind the anti-mask, it's a cultural belief thing, Muslim women are forced to cover their faces so White Christians won't wear a mask, heck even some Mulism men are anti-mask they believe it's only for women. In western society, mask-wearing is associated with bank robbers and villains. Sure it is also political, anti-masker side with Trump as they see Biden encouraging masks. And then those who see it as vanity thing, some people think they are so good looking they don't want to wear a mask, it makes them look stupid and unattractive.

I just keep it simple, if you don't want to wear a mask - no issue on my end, that doesn't mean I won't. I will always wear one now when I go out in public - meaning like in retails shops , indoor gatherings when they open up etc.

From the article:

Even with masks on, as with smoking, those who are in the vicinity are heavily affected by the secondhand smoke that makes its way around the enclosed area and lingers

False. As my other posts to you have revealed, surgical masks are highly effective. Even the article you refer to says masks work. So even it disagrees with your statement that "Surgical masks are useless. N95 masks is whats needed".

Many places - stores, businesses, clinics, homes - one goes to do not have this "secondhand (covid) smoke(/droplets/aerosols)" saturating it everywhere or even necessarily present at all or to any significant extent. Moreover in time, even if present, it would dissipate, fall to the floor, get stuck somewhere, lose its potency, die, etc.

You've provided no evidence that covid particles are like smoke from cigarettes that can saturate a room and infect people as easily as secondhand cigarette smoke enters a person. If that were the case, wouldn't we be seeing far more infections. We do know, however, that covid is released from people in large or small droplets that are big enough that they are usually blocked by cloth, surgical and N95 masks, thus making the mask wearer & those around him much safer.
