Stanford study finds masks are effective

[Lily]

"The researchers analyzed a population of almost 350,000 people from 600 villages in rural Bangladesh over the period of November 2020 to April 2021. Their findings, which were released Wednesday, found that those who lived in villages where surgical masks were being promoted were 11% less likely than those in control villages to become infected with COVID-19.
And in people over the age of 60, the impact increased to nearly 35%, the report found.

“What I really would like people to take away from this is to see that we have very rigorous and systematic evidence that masks are effective,” said Ashley Styczynski, a lead author on the study and an infectious disease fellow at Stanford. She added: “I think there were many people who have remained doubtful because of the lack of a randomized control trial around this type of question.”

11% is a pathetic resullt... and 35% for the 60s is only marginaly better.

I agree zero protection against death is better than 11%!!!!

It makes it worth wearing a mask. Along with vaccination and not gathering in large group indoors, etc.

There isn't a magic pill. It seems better than being put on a ventilator though.

Are these CLOTH masks or proper procedural masks?

Because that matters.

Also it shouldnt be a blanket mandate from the government and elementary age children should not be masked at school all day. Masks need to be procedural masks and they must be changed every 15 to 30 minutes. They also cannot be touched and contaminated. All these factors MATTER.

Ask nurses or doctors why they are not permitted to wear a cloth mask at work. Let alone the same cloth mask all day... you'll get the answer.

Disposable gowns exist for a reason. That reason is pathogens will attach to clothing and you can take them room to room. SAME on cloth masks.

Covid "surged" in places with mask mandates because they are not used properly by adults. Cloth is garbage. And people are touching them and wearing the same contaminated shit all day.

This isnt political ffs. This is reality.

we have no community covid yet BUT we had 2 brief episodes of 5 days of hard lockdown and were required to wear masks into shops. But fancy Bangladesh doing studies... they're not even 3rd worlders.... they are like 10 rungs lower than 3rd worlders.

Real bad logic here. The vast majority of Covid infections do not even require hospitalization.

This whole "mask or death!!" reasoning is a false dichotomy.

You only pay attention to the deaths or illness of those who opposed mandates. Then you got ALL those infections and deaths of people who openly said "I was so cautious. I always wore my mask".

Stats mean fuck all when you did everything the state said, but you mindlessly adjusted your mask in a store and transferred Covid right onto the part of your mask by your mucus membranes or had a false sense of security and got too close to an infected person. Or rubbed Covid in your eyes.

Handwashing is the best way to mitigate spread of....everything.

Stanford researchers apparently wanted to do a study with grown adults. It seems that they had to go to Bangladesh to find them.

Of masking. Do you often post when you're in a coma? Nice trick though.

Tons of stories like this and people who got sick saying they always wore the mask

The problem is that people aren't doing it right and partisan politics doesnt care.

I have never opposed masks however now that you have posted that study I find it hilarious you are impressed by that bilge. I pegged you with more brains than that.

Uhm, no.

We’re wearing fucking masks. Who gives a fuck if some studies show a marginal positive. Fact remains is that we’re dealing with pathogens. You people are dumber than a box of hammers ffs!

I'm not impressed. I am glad that any measure that helps people stay healthy, even modest, is proven. I'm not doing cartwheels Debbie Downer.

If you don't want to wear a mask don't wear one.

You don't have to care nor do you have to wear a mask. You don't have to melt down either. Can you ever have a neutral reaction to anything? Do you always have to be at a boiling point?

 

[Dove]

No one really opposes MASKS. They oppose the government mandating them.

I passionately oppose masks on children at school for obvious reasons. Kids shouldnt have to have the burden and be put at a higher risk.

@Breakfall they have made it political so....yeah they get real dumb about it. No nuance exists. Wear the cloth Petri dish or you'll be vented!! Put the cloth Petri dish on your small kid and let them get sick or you want them to get sick!

They've gone nuts with control and trashing others.

I think you should have called it "Meltdown Factory" in that case. I don't know if you're aware, but one can be a bastard without hollering all the time for any little "feelings" about being slighted.
