I would argue, given my profession, that I know how masks work considerably better than you do. The cloth masks, which are the majority of the masks you'll see worn, provide almost no viral protection. They can prevent people from touching their mouths and they can reduce the area you contaminate, but that's about it.
We're not talking about a situation where people are walking around with M95 or even legitimate surgical masks.
More misinformation.
and medical professions have said this over and over. The point isn't to filter viruses it is to limit the capability of spread not eliminate it. The same reason you cover your mouth when you sneeze. To limit the distance your snot particles travel.
Nurses and medical staff wear surgical masks (not N95 ones) day to day.. not to protect themselves but to protect their patients.
So they've gone from 57,744 cases on Memorial day to 85,641 as of yesterday, the case totals were always going to go up, a "spike" would be a situation where the total number of cases doubled in a week or even two weeks.
You'd have to multiply the number of cases in Texas by more than 3 to equal just what the state of NY is currently dealing with now that they are on the downside of their "curve".....that's why Texas was able to re-open and stop hurting their people a bit earlier than in other states.
Comparing NY and TX? Lol. Dallas DART light rail ridership - 30 million/year; NYC subway ridership - ....1.8 BILLION per year. Do I need to continue with population density, etc.?
Yeah, NY has many more active cases currently, and yet TX, as of late, is generating more new cases per day - x2 (7-day moving average). That should not be happening at all.
LOL, if you think what I said was "misinformation" then you either didn't read what I said, or you failed to comprehend what I said. Either way, thanks for the laugh.

Posters like that understand the reason, they just don't care about anyone but themselves.
Bingo. There's too many Covidiots out there continuing to politicize this, feed off their tin foil hat paranoia over "the man" controlling me, and selfish rectums that could care less if someone's kid catches this. The same goes for those idiot protestors that bring their children into harms way. There's too many morons out there and it's an embarrassment. Ignorance isn't bliss and we could have stopped this carnage early on. You want the economy to recover? Stop the virus. We all have the power to do it, yet, belief systems are more important? Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. Stupid is as stupid does.
The uptick right now is not due to protests, it’s due to the states opening and in large part Memorial Day weekend. In the coming weeks, the increase will be due to protests and states relaxing rules.

No. Every COVID19 death from here on out is 100% due to the tantrum-throwing spoiled brat liberals who are protesting, along with anyone who votes Democrat and enables their antics.

Incorrect. The recent rise in COVID in certain states started before the protests. Stop politicizing this.
With that said, protesting will definitely contribute to further rise.. but it is too early to tell at this time.
