Real World Example of Masks Making a Difference!

Post by MotorCityRadioFreak » Thu Jan 20, 2022 7:25 pm

From a Mom whose son attends.Macomb Dakota:


I would just like to point out the obvious when it comes to the effectiveness of masking.

Timeline:
On Friday, January 7th, Dakota High School reported 19 positive cases on just that day alone.

That following Monday (Jan 10th), they reported 22 new cases.

On Wednesday, Jan 12th the mask mandate went into place.

Today, Jan 20th, Dakota reported 2, yes TWO, new positive cases.

I cannot believe they waited so long for a “solution”
when the answer was literally right in front of their faces. 😷


They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.

This doesn't prove anything.

Sure, it doesn’t.

It doesn't at all. There is a lot of demographic information that is missing, and the early January infections that were likely residual holiday infections and NOT transmitted at school. Only a simpleton or mask zealot would suggest what you have suggested based on very limited data.

You're reading the data all wrong. You're making quite a leap with these bold statements.

Not all masks are created equal, but properly crafted and worn masks absolutely reduce the rate of transmissibility.

If you are going to make a statement, Matt, that "masks don't work," at least take some time to provide links to research supporting your claim.

The studies cited by the below sources indicate masking does indeed help control the spread of COVID:

I was specifically responding to MCRF's mask zealotry where he posted as though the anecdotal evidence he posted was conclusive proof of his position. It is not. There is value in wearing a mask if you are too stupid to get vaccinated and boosted or too young. Those if us that have done the right thing should not continue to be punished because of selfish morons' inactions.

Zero reported covid cases at the Detroit 3 casinos when no mask mandate.
Pretty good real world examples of Masks not making any differences


If you don’t have a mask covering your exhaust pipe on the car, you are not trying to stop global warming by preventing the harmful emission particles from spraying out!

I have another graphic with information from the schools, but I forget how to drop an image from my phone here. More damning evidence that masks work. Warren Con has the lowest cases per pupil of 0% and has been masking all throughout the pandemic.
