Except it’s not. You simply don’t have the information I’m asking. Not every mask is created equal, so I’m looking for scientific data as to what they actually do to prevent the spread.

Except it is.

Particle size is irrelevant. The viruses hitchhike on sputum. If the mask stops sputum, it stops the virus.

Perhaps you'd like to submit your own study to the Lancet if you feel that your knowledge on the subject exceeds that of those who conducted the study I posted?

I do find assumptions and “proposed” estimates quite interesting.

The CDC knows more about pandemics and pandemic control measures than you do. Sorry.

That's the problem right now, people with absolutely no background or expertise in this sort of thing who think they know better because a video on Facebook told them that masks don't work. Dunning Kreuger Effect.

Never said they didn’t, however, proposed is simply that, not actual numbers like you’re assuming.

Like believing this was started by a bai from a wet market that didn’t sell bats?

i know! its like all these false narratives that are easily refuted with actual facts, or taken out of context, but somehow become cause de celebre.

False

"The reality is that assigning a cause of death is not always straightforward, even pre-pandemic, and a patchwork of local rules and regulations makes getting valid national data challenging. However, data on excess deaths in the United States over the past several months suggest that COVID-19 deaths are probably being undercounted rather than overcounted."

I think this thread has provided sufficient evidence as to why some Pittsburghers don't wear masks. It is cognitive dissonance with some politics thrown in and the anti-maskers refuse to believe it exists until it hits one of their loved ones.

I don’t recall anyone here saying they don’t wear a mask..., but asking for scientific stats in regards to them.
