Mask mandates are back. Here’s a reminder of things that can fit through these sharia face muzzles. DO NOT COMPLY.

Yep, just keep washing and sanitising those hands which, while important, does diddly squat to stop you inhaling an airborne virus that floats in the air like smoke and can linger for hours.

Unless you breathe through your hands, of course.

I had a bit of a chuckle when I saw these signs on a travelator at Belmont Forum this morning. Top and bottom, both sides.

Hand sanitiser everywhere, now we also have UV sanitised travelator and escalator handrails.

Not a word about the one thing that would make a real difference to the spread of Covid, flu and other airborne viruses.

MASKS.

MASKS WORK.

Effects of public-health measures for zeroing out different SARS-CoV-2 variants


Quote:

Based on a multi-year empirical dataset containing 131 outbreaks observed in China from April 2020 to May 2022 and simulated scenarios, we ranked the relative intervention effectiveness by their reduction in instantaneous reproduction number. We found that, overall, social distancing measures (38% reduction, 95% prediction interval 31-45%), face masks (30%, 17-42%) and close contact tracing (28%, 24-31%) were most effective.

You're welcome.

Washing hands is a good thing does nothing to prevent Covid would help with E Coli from those who don't wash hands after going to toilet.

Masks don't work it's clear you don't know the difference between RCT (Random Control Trial) and observational studies. RCT's are the Gold standard for testing it can't get any better than that.

78 Random Control Trials with masks show they made no difference it doesn't matter if it's N95 or surgical mask.

Thank you for showing everyone who reads this you have no idea with scientific testing.
;D

Masks no longer mandatory.
But I still wear one when going into a Bank.

Not the Cochrane Review AGAIN?

How many times have you posted it now?

And how many times have I tried to tell you that it has been widely misinterpreted?

As you can see, Cochrane themselves have admitted it.

Do you have a comprehension problem? Just like aquascoot?

Speaking of aquascoot, I haven't seen much of him in this section of the forum lately... has he finally seen the light and now understands that SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) isn't "mild" after all?

Perhaps the fact that nearly 100 Australians a week are still dying of Covid has convinced him? Took a while but I do believe we finally got there.

How many times are you going to ignore the evidence from 78 Random Control Trials which is the highest form of evidence?

Unlike you i looked at these RCTs and they showed no difference with wearing or not wearing a mask.

It was the editor not the authors of that study that posted your link.

Quote:

t would be accurate to say that the review examined whether interventions to promote mask wearing help to slow the spread of respiratory viruses, and that the results were inconclusive. The original Plain Language Summary for this review stated that 'We are uncertain whether wearing masks or N95/P2 respirators helps to slow the spread of respiratory viruses based on the studies we assessed.' This wording was open to misinterpretation, for which we apologize

If masks worked you would expect to see a big difference in reducing cases with those 78 RCTs.

The fact they saw little to no difference clearly shows masks don't work.  ;) How can you misinterpret that?

LOL... I'm actually amazed at just how many times you've
been—and apparently still are—sucked in by the arrant
bullshit spewed by all these conspiracy theorists, such as
financial analyst David Martin PhD.

Check out Martin's laughably imbecilic YouTube channel here...

https://www.youtube.com/c/DavidMartinWorld/videos

And more bullshit here...

David Martin misrepresents studies and patent applications
to claim SARS-CoV-2 was developed as a bioweapon. 

Your recent silence on this matter had led me to
believe that you'd finally accepted the fact that all
you ignorantly believed about the pandemic and the
vaccinations was patently wrong.

And the "battle" is over now.

     But today, someone's rattled your cage again LOL.

Good link; clarifies what Baronvonrort seems
not able to understand, in simple terms.

"Many commentators have claimed that a recently-updated
Cochrane Review shows that 'masks don't work', which is an
inaccurate and misleading interpretation".  (from your link)

One more time for the senile old boomers from the Branch Covidian cult.

That link did not come from the authors of this study i should point out one of the authors has over 25 years experience with respiratory viruses.The study authors haven't changed anything.

That link comes from the editor of Cochrane who obviously buckled under political pressure.

The senile old boomers conveniently forget covid can be caught through eye membranes which is why eye protection is worn. How deluded are these Branch Covidians?

If masks worked why do they say Little to no difference between masked and unmasked along with surgical vs N95 in the 78 Random Control trials which is the highest gold standard of evidence? If masks worked there would be a big difference

These senile old boomers are science deniers it's clear the science doesn't agree with their branch covidian beliefs.
;D ;D ;D :D :D :D ;D ;D ;D

Masks don't work stop peddling misinformation.  ;)

WHO found that masks do not work in 2019

CDC found that masks do not work in 2020:

Cochrane found that masks do not work in 2022

Why are the senile old boomers ignoring the science on masks?

Are they ignoring the science because it goes against their branch covidian religion?

lol... round and round and round we go... and there's Baronvonrort with his picture of surgical 'baggy blue' masks again which were never designed to protect the wearer from airborne viruses like Covid.

How many times is that now? Probably about as many times as he's peddled the Cochrane Report.

By the way... I bet you can't find the same warning on P2, N95, KN95, KF94 and similar masks.

I see you are ignoring the fact covid can be transmitted through membranes in eyes.

We go round and round because you're a science denier.
;D ;D ;D :D :D :D ;D ;D ;D

The mask mandates were for any masks those mandates were based on nothing more than wishful thinking or in your case branch covidian religious belief.

The cochrane report is taken seriously by those who understand science. RCTs are the highest gold standard for testing how many RCTs say they don't work is it 78?
Those who trust the science will accept masks make little to no difference.

Germany had N95 mask mandates how did they compare to Sweden which had none?

In the other mask thread you will find i posted numerous times you need a N95 anything else is garbage. After looking at the evidence i was wrong N95s don't work. There was little to no difference between no mask and surgical mask and little to no difference between surgical and N95



Masks don't work for covid you need a proper respirator and eye protection.

Gee, I guess I must be really, really lucky then?

I haven't had the flu for 4 years now and as far as I know I've never had Covid. Same with my 93 year old aunt.

The Covid border closures, masks, testing and quarantine kept Australia Covid and flu free in 2020 from April onwards (after the border closure in late March) and most of 2021 (early 2022 for WA which held out the longest against the pressures of big business to open up again and let Covid and the flu run rampant like they are now) and we've been masking with high quality KN95 masks when out in public where there's lots of people ever since.

Yep, we're just lucky I guess?

I don't think I've ever seen so much truth mixed in with sarcasm.

If you still insist on wearing condoms due to your irrational anxieties, at least give yourself periodic breaks from them, and get back to enjoying the natural feel of pre-pandemic days. That should bring a smile back to your face. S/
