Yep! Masks work!
One month after statewide mask mandate, California’s daily COVID case average has increased by 162%
Though Newsom's mask mandate appears to have had little effect on the trajectory of the virus in California, the governor nevertheless this week imposed additional mask requirements on the state, ordering that most students who return to school in the fall will be subject to "strong mask requirements," namely that "all staff and students in 3rd grade and above will be required to wear a mask or face covering" during the school day.
Newsom, like many other public officials, has claimed masks are necessary to stop the spread of COVID-19, but his own directive from last month stops short at actually calling them effective, instead merely stating that they "could" help

“96 DAYS since Dr. Ioannidis @METRICStanford
conducted a study that concluded people <65 have very a small risk of COVID-19 death even in the hotbeds, so we should concentrate on strategies focused on high-risk elderly individuals”

because masks are made to stop bacteria not viruses.
because the only mask that gives any amount of protection is an N95 and even then it is not 100%
because masks are pretty much only good in a medical setting, not in public.
many, many more reasons why masks are a false sense of security and not very effective at stopping the spread of a virus
but why bother with real scientific facts when it does not fit what you want to say so you troll around until you find something, anything that fits
what you want to say...
Irrelevant. The fact is masks of various kinds, and face shields of various types, do aid in stopping the spread of C-19 to others from the mask or shield wearer. Many types of shields will not allow any virus to pass through it in either direction. They are, in fact, "made to stop...viruses".
Wrong. See what i just typed above.
Wrong again. The scientific evidence says otherwise. You have just ignored it which i have posted a number of times.
Scientific evidence? You posted none, while i have & it's never been refuted by anyone here.
Masks are not a "false sense of security". They are an additional & real & effective security measure.
The sooner you guys realize this, act responsibly & mask up, the sooner the economy of the world will be booming again.
The question you should ask, instead of making ignorant sarcastic remarks, is "why is the average up"? Is it because of more testing, more businesses being open, etc, etc. Would the "increase" have been even worse without masks?
