So you are thinking you and your kids have to get COVID-19 at some point, so what’s the point of wearing a mask?

🧵
Have you thought this plan all the way through to the end? Because it’s not just one infection. It’s repeated infections for the rest of your lives, and it can be as frequent as just a few weeks to a few months apart all year round.
Each infection chips away at your organs and immune system, risks clots and heart attacks. The vaccines help with severe disease and death… but what about the rest of it.

Where does your plan take you?

2-"Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s administration ordered high schools and colleges to stop in-person classes, closed restaurants to indoor dining and suspended organized sports — including the football playoffs — in an attempt to curb the state’s spiking case numbers.
3-"The order also restricts indoor and outdoor residential gatherings, closes some entertainment facilities and bans gyms from hosting group exercise classes.

Wow. Impressive chart of mask wearing and % who know someone with #COVID19 symptoms. #WearAMaskSaveALife

(Source: washingtonpost.com/business/2020/…)
2) “The R-squared of CovidCast’s mask and symptom data is 0.73, meaning that you can predict about 73 percent of the variability in state-level covid-19 symptom prevalence simply by knowing how often people wear their masks.”
3) Granted “correlation does not always equal causation”... but also remember
is that “every causation can be seen in a correlation” too!

There can be confounding & ecologic fallacy, but that’s why we need context—whether masks do stop aerosol transmission, which it does.

#WearAMask they say. #WearAMaskSaveALife the Democrats preach.

But really? Do they? Because that’s not what science says and they no it. No data that Masks save lives but they keep repeating it, only for you!

@MaxineWaters didn’t even have one on hand and was given a new one.
Masks for thee, not for me!

@ChrisCuomo
@CuomoPrimeTime caught again with no mask. Oh yeah, & he said he had #COVID19. Who knows though since he was out and about in PUBLIC, WITHOUT a mask while infected with #Coronavirus.

@petermbenglish I just heard you on @ShelaghFogarty ‘s @LBC show, you’re spot on. Johnson is playing down the pandemic in an increasingly Trumpian manner, the virus isn’t going away and we need to ensure as many people have their #flujab before ‘flu season hits.
If not enough people have a #flu jab, we’ll have a perfect storm of seasonal ‘flu and Covid-19, and if that doesn’t banjax the NHS, then I don’t know what will. As most of the #antimaskers are also #antivaxxers ,
how do we cut through the nonsense that they’re peddling and make them see sense? After all, we need them on board! I’m not sure that us calling them stupid or selfish is helping… it’s making the conspiracy-theory types dig their heels in even deeper. 😔

1/many This thread contains the words of my amazing sister who is a #nurse #essentialworker working in the trenches fighting #COVID19
She has been encountering life & death situations on a daily basis. Ppl need to open up their eyes & pay attention. #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay
2/ This is loss. This is loosing in OT with 38 seconds remaining on the clock, all the MVP players are in, but the other team intercepts and wins. The other team that won? Death. 5 nights in a row I battled the angel of death on someone very close to my age.
3/ 5 nights in a row I climbed on top of the bed in full PPE: gown, 3 masks, a face shield, goggles, and 2 pairs of gloves to physically try to circulate the epinephrine into your heart for it to restart.

We truly do not know enough yet about COVID

PLEASE READ AND SHARE THIS THREAD

“Chicken pox is a virus. Lots of people have had it, and probably don't think about it much once the initial illness has passed. But it stays in your body and lives there forever. Maybe when you're ⤵️
2 ..and maybe when you're older, you have debilitatingly painful outbreaks of shingles. You don't just get over this virus in a few weeks, never to have another health effect. We know this because it's been around for years, and has been studied medically for years. ⤵️
3 Herpes is also a virus. And once someone has it, it stays in your body and lives there forever, and anytime they get a little run down or stressed-out they're going to have an outbreak. Maybe every time you have a big event coming up (school pictures, job interview, big date ⤵️

Please where a mask.

For 3 months the govt & their “experts” said their was no evidence that face masks made a difference.

This review of a century of evidence shows that masks DO block droplet & aerosol contamination & will reduce #COVID19 transmission. brighterworld.mcmaster.ca/articles/evide…
On 14 March, the same week that 250,000 people were flocking to the Cheltenham Festival, Caprice - quoting an WHO expert from the @FT said the UK should follow WHO advice, impose a lockdown, screen arrivals at airports AND wear face masks.

She was right.
A sneeze can travel up to 8 meters.

An unmasked cough from someone with #coronavirus in a supermarket (or a car showroom) can leave pathogenic micro droplets in the air for several minutes.

Please wear a face mask.
