One of those situations where just looking at who is complaining and what they are saying makes you take the opposite side without even caring about the issue. Zuckerberg the champion of openness and battling monopolies.

as the article explains the difference between a pressure wave and shock wave is in their speed of propagation, pressure waves travel below speed of sound, shock waves travel faster than the speed of sound.

I am concerned because they are about to force children wear masks 8 hours a day in school. What do you think it will happen when it comes out this was damaging to their health?

You should give the paper a more careful read, it discusses all that. The control group was typical use, whatever the staff chose to do, which included not using masks at all. The use of masks in the control group was about 23%! And that in

Indeed, the paper is so valuable exactly because it looks at what happens when you force people to use the masks all the time. it turns out it might be making the problem worse

the paper shows a tripling of cases when masks are used though, it is not about tiny percentages.

by glofish 6y ago
That is exactly right! What the paper says is that masks should be used when necessary and according to the case presented to the medical staff. Not all the time. When you force people to use the masks all the time you are making the proble

not sure what your are getting at with the null hypothesis. Look at the results. Mandatory cloth masks were associated with 3 times as many ILIs (Influenza Like Illnesses). So it is not some tiny statistical variation. It is a huge effect s

The damages and side effects of masks are consistently and systematically downplayed. Benefits are vanishing if exist at all. The group think is such that you will never see any of these mentioned in the media. Here is a study that shows th

Your numbers are way off. 25% percent of NYC was seropositive in May. So that works out to about 25k per 100k people. The reported cases have always been just the tip of the iceberg. And we never knew how big the underwater part was. We sti
