Face masks do NOT protect the wearer from coronavirus, but will stop them from infecting other people, Danish study finds​

  • More than 6,000 adults and split them into two groups: one wearing masks in public and one control group that did not
  • After one month, 1.8% of the people wearing masks had been infected with the virus and 2.1% in the unmasked group had tested positive for COVID-19
  • The lack of statistic significance suggests that there may be limited protection against coronavirus infection for the wearer
  • Researchers say people should keep wearing them because the wearer can prevent others from being infected

Really? Odd that they would add this recommendation when their study was not testing for this. Did they contact trace each person who got sick and compare how many secondary infections people from each group might have created? I didn't see that in there. Scientists need to stick to the data and stop adding their biased opinions to the mix. The average rube can't tell the difference and depend on experts to tell them what to think.

I'm confused. I thought the virus was a hoax.

The Town of Nantucket Police Department tweeted the suspension announcement on Wednesday, informing residents that the decision to suspend applicant acceptance came “after employees responsible for obtaining … fingerprints expressed their concern that they could not safely do their jobs with the workplace safety procedures that we have in place.”
They added, “Because of the processes involved in obtaining [LTC permits and FID cards] it is impossible to do while following state guidelines for social distancing in the workplace.”

But they still need to do the same function when arresting criminals.
So which is the truth ?

When you apply the first time , you need to be fingerprinted ( on a computer ), but not for renewals.

This is called an inferior study and is rejected by all scientists.
The Scandinavian countries are notorious for this and get called out all the time for their spurious and incorrect deductions from their studies.

The actual study at least had a control group. It is similar to all the other rct's that have failed to show that masks slow the spread of respiratory illness. The other "studies" they reference to support their claims that masks help when worn by sick people are "observational".

Observational studies are not sufficient to inform conclusions. Observation is the first step in the scientific method. Anyone who thinks an observation is the same as rigorous scientific testing has no idea what they are talking about, and that is how you weed out the fake experts from the real ones.

In case you haven't heard... Guess the virus is only active between 10pm-5am.. :wink-very:

California enacts coronavirus curfew for majority of state's 40m residents

California is imposing a curfew affecting nearly all of its 40 million residents beginning this weekend, as the state tries to control a surge in coronavirus cases.

While the order stipulates nonessential businesses must close by 10pm, restaurants will be permitted to offer takeout food and people can perform some routine activities such as walking dogs, officials said. They will still be able to get medical care, pick up prescriptions and take care of other essential needs.

Another moronic move by our dictator in California... Yeah, this will be enforced, sheriffs are already saying they won't enforce it.

"Idea" just bring your dog with you everywhere and you're good to go. LMAO

The control group was not for this side door deductions.
That's not scientific and would be rejected by any real scientists.
