You sound just like the PM agstarr, looking for smaller and smaller groups to put blame on. Its their fault, not the leaders or the 350B that could have built 100 new hospitals in the country.

For women, masking is just burka training. Hope they are aware of that.

Seriously?

Maybe masks should be considered training for men to think before saying stupid shit. Think you missed that course though ajl.

And staffed 100 new hospitals how? Trump university grads or Jazz school of medicine. 4 years to train an RN and 8 for a doctor. Do you think the Covid will agree to wait that long before infecting any more people? Cause it sure didn't listen to you when you said repeatedly this summer there would be no more deaths in US and that it would go away after the election!

Don't say you were not warned. Its no secret that there are forces hard at work pushing for sharia law in this country.

Don't say you were not warned.

Works been making me wear masks for years. Maybe they’ve secretly been trying to convert me to Muslim as well.

Oh and I wear hats so someone must want me to be Jewish.

Guess that’s the thing about being a woman... there’s always someone who thinks they can tell us what we should be doing and wearing. Even if it’s a ridiculous conspiracy theory.

Strange I never mentioned any specific group, just morons in general.

[Blaithin]

The least you could do is put on a Stetson and silk scarf if your gonna Ranch !

I have a few Wild Rags that I wear. Not a fan of Stetson’s though, need my ears covered. So actually I wear a bandana a lot. Which either means Hutterites or Ukrainians are trying to convert me I guess?

Danish study....

Yesterday marked the publication of a long-delayed trial in Denmark which hopes to answer that very question. The ‘Danmask-19 trial’ was conducted in the spring with over 3,000 participants, when the public were not being told to wear masks but other public health measures were in place. Unlike other studies looking at masks, the Danmask study was a randomized controlled trial – making it the highest quality scientific evidence.
Around half of those in the trial received 50 disposable surgical face masks, which they were told to change after eight hours of use. After one month, the trial participants were tested using both PCR, antibody and lateral flow tests and compared with the trial participants who did not wear a mask.

In the end, there was no statistically significant difference between those who wore masks and those who did not when it came to being infected by Covid-19. 1.8 per cent of those wearing masks caught Covid, compared to 2.1 per cent of the control group. As a result, it seems that any effect masks have on preventing the spread of the disease in the community is small.
Some people, of course, did not wear their masks properly. Only 46 per cent of those wearing masks in the trial said they had completely adhered to the rules. But even if you only look at people who wore masks ‘exactly as instructed’, this did not make any difference to the results: 2 per cent of this group were also infected.

I will ask you the same question I asked Jazz about this "study" but which he did not answer:

If this study is proof that masks are ineffective why has Denmark now mandated:
masks mandatory on public transportation
masks mandatory at airports
masks mandatory in bars and restaurants when patrons leave their table.

Furthermore why has the publication of the study been rejected by the major medical journals including the Lancet, the New England Journal of Medicine, and the American Medical Association Journal?

And why was the study of masks only conducted on people wearing masks outdoors that were already practicing social distancing. Shouldn't it looked at wearing masks indoors as well?

Even the report you linked to lists the following limitations.
Limitation:
Inconclusive results, missing data, variable adherence, patient-reported findings on home tests, no blinding, and no assessment of whether masks could decrease disease transmission from mask wearers to others.
Sounds like this study lacks a lot of controls

I'm impressed. I thought I'd be the only buckaroo here to know what a wild rag is.

The cowboys got to me and converted me to Wild Rags and camp cooking long before the Chinese got to me with a virus to train me up for Burkas.
