Thank you for the clarification BH, and the actual CDC study details their masking and testing techniques.

Yes, the CDC may not actually be just this masking practice, but I am fairly confident that the feckless obiden administration will be (or some variation of it). If it saves just one life, and all that.

Thanks! That looks like a great article...will plow through it later today when not at work...

I just started reading this and as there quite a few links to other studies and articles pertaining to the effectiveness or NOT of masking, it may take a little while to get through it and fully comprehend it.

It might be longer. We won't be "permitted" to go mask free until we remove their boots from the back of our necks. The question is, how long are we going to take this lying down?

Two mask that are PROPERLY fitted, is what they are reporting in my area.

The CDC report also said that the effectiveness of two masks is not applicable to real world situations.

And not be a broken record, but the CDC still has no definitive, peer reviewed, study proving masks accomplish anything of value in preventing the spread of Covid. We're still running purely off conjecture by the people who have been wrong about 90% of the time on this virus.

Just like these assholes turned “15 Days To Bend The Curve” into 11+ months now, China Joe’s “100 Days Of Masking” has ALREADY turned into “Well we are masking until at least the end of 2022 or maybe later”.

Jesus H Christmas

Anyone who hasn’t figured out yet they are trying to make it that wearing masks WILL NEVER GO AWAY, you’re either blind, dumb or don’t care.

As similarly pointed out by others earlier in this thread, the only people I personally know that have gotten the bug (very few actually) have been obsessive mask wearers and sanitizers. I'm not suggesting that masking up will get you the covids, but I'm convinced that if you're not wearing a tyvek suit with an honest to golly respirator, you stand as much chance of getting it as anyone else.

I am sorry if this has been presented already. If not please note I am not trying to scare anyone just presenting information and you decide what to do with this information. Here is a website listing the deaths from the COVID19 vaccine reported by people. How accurate it is I do not know. God Bless !!!

Panicky cattle: "We need a vaccine and we need it NOW!!!!"

Inept government: "Here's your vaccine."

Panicky cattle: "I'M NOT TAKING THAT! IS THAT SAFE? HOW DO WE KNOW IT'S SAFE?? IT MIGHT KILL US!! IT'S KILLED OTHER PEOPLE! THERE'S A WEBSITE WHERE YOU CAN GO TO FIND THE DEAD VACCINATED PEOPLE!! THE INTERNET SAYS SO! IT MUST BE TRUE! WE NEED A VACCINE VACCINE BEFORE WE TAKE THE VACCINE! EVERYONE SHOULD PUT ON 16 MASKS, THEN PUT A MASK ON OVER THAT AND WRAP YOUR HEAD IN A PLASTIC BAG AND IT BETTER BE A RECYCLABLE BAG SO THE GLOBAL WARMING ERR CLIMATE CHANGE DOESN'T KILL US ALL!! WE NEED A CLIMATE CHANGE VACCINE AND A CLIMATE CHANGE VACCINE VACCINE!!

Inept government: "Anyhoo, tax filing time is approaching."

Anecdotal, I know, but I was diagnosed with COVID on Monday. I went to bed last Saturday with a mild scratchy throat. Got up Sunday, got ready for church and headed out. When I got there, I just wasn't feeling right, so I went home. I had a fever and was coughing a bit more, so I got tested Monday and was positive.

If anything, I was (and still am) "militant" ant-mask. So as you can see, my carelessness cost me. (That is sarcasm by the way - yes, I caught it, but it took a year of "carelessness". My worst symptoms were a 101° fever, acheyness during peak fever times, and mild coughing.

I have NO IDEA where I may have caught it from. I was exposed to two people that were positive over the holidays, but that was over a month ago. Best guess is in normal day to day live - grocery store, Walmart, gas, who knows?

^^^ Or perhaps you just happen to catch a regular old cold or some other virus. Those other things still exist I'm assuming?

Point being, I don't trust these tests any more than I trust the covid death count.

This is funny. Question from NPR reader:

A reader asks: I want to have a private cuddle session with some goats but am concerned that the goats may have cuddled with other people. What's the COVID risk? Note: The goat and human in the photo above are part of the same pandemic pod.

Really???

Alan, are you seriously suggesting that I may have been mis-diagnosed with the 'Rona? How can I claim victimhood if that's the case???

Seriously, I'm easily as much as cynic regarding this as you are, so it wouldn't surprise me at all.

Ran into my first double masker at the grocery store today. I weep for our future.

If King Fauchi told them to walk around with a finger up their ass to stop the spread of The Rona, these people would happily and obediently comply.

Is there a word that goes beyond cynical? Because that's where I am now. I believe absolutely nothing I read or hear anymore. Nothing. No matter the source. I've become almost irreconcilably jaded this past year.

But I would say justifiably so. These elitist morons in government and the media have flip flopped, outright lied, fudged numbers, and generally screwed the pooch across the board for the last year, yet they expect us to hang on every word or recommendation that falls out of their mouths and comply without question. As I put it to a friend this week, how long do you think I'd listen to or accept recommendations from my investment's guy if he was wrong, grossly wrong, about 90%+ of the time? I'm sorry, but anyone who trusts what government and the media is shoveling right now is a complete moron.
