The lastest from Martini's State of Georgia....something for Martini to dispute and look foolish. CDC can chime in and join Foolish Martini.
"A new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that Georgia elementary schools that made teachers and other staff wear masks had a significantly lower rate of COVID-19 infection, a finding that could influence policies in the fall when younger children may still be ineligible for vaccination.
The findings from the Morbidity and Mortality and Weekly Report released Friday say that, after accounting for community infection rates, the incidence of the disease was 37% lower in schools that required teachers and staff members to use masks and 39% lower in schools that improved ventilation by opening windows and doors, using fans or in combination with air filtration."
They do it all the time just to make CRD and MM look as foolish as they are!!
Same with their report on 2020 death rates vs 2019 death rates. They our MENSA chapter still hasen't come up with a response that insures their position in the rightwing pantheon of nuts!!
Doubt that I would hang my hat on any conclusion reached from a 26 day, retrospective, survey "study" that could not measure those who were COVID + but asymptomatic. My basic comments here were arrived at from a very cursory reading of the paper. Fish, you must frame your True/False question with a bit more precision in order for anyone to answer accurately, except for Archie.
Why would you think they were lying? But do us all a favor Goofy and compare and contrast the very small, very short data set in the CDC study and the meta data study by Brown University. Look at each study and tell me which you would have more confidence in its accuracy. Let me help you a bit.......the Brown study relied on over 500 schools in 46 states. Hundreds of thousands of teachers and students, geographically broad based on meta data versus the very limiteded CDC study. And this data is consistent with other meta data studies on mask effectiveness.
Sorry Goofy, but when it comes to the term foolish it sure doesn't apply to me. But do please keep trying.
I know someone who did a study of 4 people in 1 house who did not wear masks and never got Covid - so looks like people 14-50 dont get Covid when not wearing a mask when they do things like they always did without a mask.
It's all coming together. These in depth studies you have done are all I need to be convinced as it matches my own in depth study of my family who live in two states (GA and TX) and none of us have had the virus either......well except I did have a mild flu in early 2019 after returning from a trip to a NYC nursing home....but I got all better......dead bodies everywhere, but Cuomo saved a few bucks on Medicare and made a few mil on his work of fiction. You are saving America. Thank you!
