Are face diapers doing anything?
Actually, there are better studies (because they account for confounders) that show that mask mandates do make a difference.Quote:

Are the studies you post better, or do they just point to your desired outcome? From some examples I ran across in the past, they started with the premise that masks must work and then proceeded toward that outcome. Kind of like someone asking me to do an appraisal on their house while telling me that they expect to list it for $300,000. Now subconsciously, I am going to seek out sales which point to that number regardless of their comparability. Human nature.
As I explain, they deal with the issue of confounders. For example, states that are more likely to make mandates do so when infection is already widespread.Quote:

This is a very good read if you really want to understand the data.
If you want to see how good you would do in optimizing reduced death and economic damage, you can play the game here:

And if you consider the narrower case - “should masks be mandated in schools?” - the case is very compelling.

They weren’t happy that the CDC was being allowed to step into the FDA’s lane. And that is a fair criticism. The FDA is the regulator of vaccines, the CDC’s job is to provide advice to doctors.Quote:

Being on the Board of Directors for the local hospital I am privy to all information. Our CEO emails us regularly with updates and provides information that is not released to the public. We do release public announcements weekly on a "need to know" basis. But truthfully, given Natchitoches Parish's, and the surrounding parishes, track record on following mandates and "strong recommendations" I doubt it would matter if all info was released.Quote:

If Trump was president maybe the two navy hospital ships would be sent to us. That would help.
All I can say, from my little piece of the world is, this is real folks.

This for real? I find it hard to believe he was actually allowed to go on like that without being cut off. I suspect this is a doctored/edited piece made to look like a real open mic event.Quote:
