Because not everyone is wearing masks, nor are they wearing them effectively. Do you understand why folks are frustrated now? Or do we need to continue to repeat the same information several times while you argue the same recycled misinformation in different ways?

We have to wear masks here. The cases keep rising? Why is this? What does the science say?

Lots of speculation around here.

Just out of curiosity, if masks do nothing why are mask mandated counties showing 50% fewer case increases daily than non mask mandated counties? You keep demanding proofs (which have been given over and over) while providing none yourself.

If it's not the masks, what is it?

In my earlier post today I repeated what the NJ health commissioner said. “We will all be exposed because it’s a virus and the guidances were put into place to prevent the overloading of hospitals.”
So...all of you are saying she is wrong?

I don't propose anything. Because I understand that this is a complicated situation that requires more than simplistic solutions many people keep recycling. Science has proven that the current precautions put in place are effective. Just because it hasn't stopped Covid is not evidence in the contrary. That isn't how the scientific method works.

I suppose you skipped over this reply to hurriedly type your own again, so I will repost it.

I propose everyone follow the precautions we have already put in place. The fact that people are not following them, and then pointing to the fact that the cases are rising, illustrates the major issue here...which is a basic lack of understanding of science. In more simplistic terms, its people being uneducated and choosing to remain so.

I posted what the science says already, and have tried to explain it in as simplistic a way as I know how. I was even very careful to not use extremely large words.

Lots of speculation around here.

Again, it isn't speculation. I will post my sources, and please feel free to post yours.

I never said they do nothing. You’re attempting to prove that masks are preventing the spread or lessening the spread based on stats from one county in one state?

I read it. I don’t agree. Hard to understand?
I haven’t been rude to you yet so you may want to edit your post. Resorting to that just shows your lack of intelligence. We’re not going to agree regardless.

So, just in order to keep from misunderstanding you, you are saying you disagree with SCIENCE then?


I think we may be finally to the bottom of the issue here.
