So, back to what started this from the get go... DeSantis and I want gold standard evidence - that means randomized controlled trials. Adding in the latitude effect would likely invalidate the study you linked - science based medicine requires RCTs, not case control studies.

i honestly think that’s insane. preponderance of evidence, plus direct mechanical evidence on filtration, on a respiratory disease? you can’t do a blind trial, but in kansas counties that failed to enforce the mandate had significantly increased cases, those that did, decreased

wow found the graph. there’s still a decrease but obviously they shouldn’t do this. that’s not even just out of scale, the intercept isn’t at 0pic.twitter.com/azAYtEJiJr

still though, i don’t understand how someone can understand the basic ideal of a mesh filter droplets and aerosols, or see the dispersion of aerosols in experiments, or see the national data, and think that masks don’t work we have a mask mandate in ns and we’ve suppressed twice

1) No proof of asymptomatic spread - if someone is coughing, obviously shouldn't be out and about. Masking healthy people is nuts. 2) Seen the vape video where it comes out the sides of the mask? Vapor then spreads everywhere. Same with Corona. RCT says masks are useless.

they’ve measured so many viruses even in asymptomatic patients / children. they’ve measured aerosols coming out of speech. yes aerosols come out but orders of magnitude less because it filters larger aerosols where is an rct saying masks are useless? how would you even do that.

Finding virus is not finding spread. And now we get to the bigger issue - if viral load is the difference between asymptomatic and very sick, and masks allegedly contain virus to one person, aren't masks making people sick? DANMASK-19. Paper modified due to political pressure.

come on. the virus is what spreads it! the other factor is the distribution of aerosol that’s created by asymptomatic carriers, who might sneeze or cough or yell or sing at distinct rates

What # of viruses leads to an infection and with what probability does one encounter them? This isn't as simple as 'asymptomatic carrier breathed on me, poof, infection!'.

if the #, the viral load, is a major factor, the fact that masks filter this down is obvious, no?
this is a pretty comprehensive metastudy of what’s known by @mugecevik
1/3 of asymptomatic carriers can have live virus cultured. some evidence
