Masks alone will not prevent the possibility of Covid 19. Social distancing helps considerably but apparently protests, riots, and everything in-between are exempt from this sort of thing.....or so it seems for many.
The point of the data collected from various protests show that masks do help and being outdoors in crowds is better than being indoors in crowds. Minnesota showed the same thing. Low amounts of positive testing and this is being attributed to masks and being outdoors.
High positive results in testing in Arizona, Texas, and Florida are being attributed to people not wearing masks, being indoors in large crowds and reopening too early.
Instead of getting upset because you don’t like the results, it’s a good thing that scientists and collecting this data and are getting better at calculating the risks in different situations, what’s high risk, what’s low risk.
And yet again, you've demonstrated to me, that I don't know where the hell you're going in a discussion. It's like you look for an argument that isn't there. It's weird honestly.
Where do I demonstrate that I am upset?
The simple reality is that even with a mask, unless social distancing is also utilized, there will still be problems.
Yes, masks DO help but so does keeping your distance from others as much as possible.
Masks were not enforced here in AZ but are mandatory now in the county here that I live in and has been for a few weeks now.
We shall see where our numbers are.....just as ALL states will, especially those in new phases of reopening and videos/pictures around the Internet showing they're clearly not wearing masks nor social distancing either.
You have to keep in mind that testing was not readily available for the first few months. Since the latter part of May and into this month, there have been testing "blitzes" in various states and more positive cases as a result.
Too, much of the reporting on the numbers tends to conflict with each other at times which is why there are some in society who feel they're being played...or however they wish to refer to it as.
Covid isn't a matter of competition in numbers nor is it political.
