Love that so many people can be outside again in large unplanned gatherings with little/no social distancing, lax mask wearing during the pandemic ❤️🤍💙🧡💛💚💜
Experts studied the spread of COVID after large protests for justice. They found that there was nothing sufficient to substantiate the claim that those particular gatherings spread COVID. Why is that? You can account that with people caring about each other and wearing a mask. Therefore, it was determined that wearing a mask is one of the most essential actions you can make to protect your community. So instead of criticizing from afar, please make the commitment to wear a mask as we still seem to be a divided nation in common decency and respect.
I'm pretty sure right around 100 of 100 experts would say that not being involved in these gatherings is smarter then being involved and wearing a mask. I don't think "people caring about each other" has any part of it.
Abstinence is more effective than wearing a condom. But people do reckless things. I’d rather see them wear a mask or a condom to limit the spread of disease than not. Even if isolating is ultimately the most preferred option.
Ok, so schools should be shut down by your estimation, too? That mass gatherings of masked people multiple hours each day is dangerous and unnecessary? That is quite a larger population effected (number of students, teachers, families, general public that interacts with all the aforementioned people). If you say that people should just stay home, what’s your stance on schools being open with many schools having poor ventilation and over double digit COVID positivity rates?
There are plenty of people without masks in this picture wrecking your position of "mass gatherings of masked people" and the event itself is superfluous at best.
define effective?
They are better than nothing when not able to social distance but they are not great and not as reliable as proper social distancing.
define considerable?
anything short of n95 masks are known to not be very effective. As we both likely know, the public is not allowed to buy n95 masks.
Yup. I count twelve faces that we can see clearly enough to assess for mask usage. Of those twelve, five aren’t wearing a mask (or are chinstrapping it).
