Majority of Canadians have now caught COVID

Re: Majority of Canadians have now caught COVID

If you refuse to actually do any real research you are beyond help.
Besides, a lot CAN happen in a month. But a lot more can happen in several months. Do you understand? Maybe if you got off that "hill" and had a look around you may see things differently.

Which one was a lie? When you said that it was only a month or when you said it was a bunch of months?

I stopped taking you seriously when you said the flu proved that masks worked. Now I'm just enjoying watching you squirm. But please continue.

Oh, I get it. You actually believe that once one study has been done it stops there. What you don't understand is that usually more studies are done. That's why after the study you posted they kept going into the summer. It didn't stop with April. Hence your confusion.

They continued checking into the summer which certainly is after March.
Now we all know you won't read this but know that it states the infections skyrocketed further after April.
Are we done? I sure hope so.

Again, you're in such a hurry to prove that your're right that you're not comphrending what you read. Read it again. It says that over half of the population contracted covid before April. Hence the reason that you said "a lot can happen in a month."

Anyway, I'm bored with you. Believe what you want.

It says "almost half previously had COVID as of April". Now you are just lying dude. Not good. And then it states "but their new data suggests that number continued to skyrocket into the spring and summer."
Please say you have defended your "hill" long enough.

Almost half, over half...whatever. Either way it blows your silly argument out of the water. Unless you want to argue that half of your population contracted covid in a 30-day period. Is that the premise that we're working with? You're so silly. And I don't know why you are defending masks so strongly.

So, it's actually you that wants to die on some proverbial hill. Whatever. You can die alone. I'm done.

Why mask mandates failed






By David Leonhardt
May 31, 2022






Covid cases and hospitalizations are rising again in the U.S., and deaths are starting to rise, too. In response, many people are understandably asking what the country can do to minimize the virus’s toll in the weeks ahead.


So far, a lot of discussion has focused on mask mandates. Schools in Philadelphia; Providence, R.I.; Berkeley, Calif.; and Brookline, Mass., have reimposed theirs, as have several colleges. Elsewhere, some people are frustrated that officials, like New York City’s mayor, Eric Adams, have not done so.



Critics have accused these leaders of a lack of political courage, saying that they are yielding to Covid fatigue rather than imposing necessary public health measures. But I think that the criticism misreads both the history of public health and the recent scientific evidence about mask mandates.


The evidence suggests that broad mask mandates have not done much to reduce Covid caseloads over the past two years. Today, mask rules may do even less than in the past, given the contagiousness of current versions of the virus. And successful public health campaigns rarely involve a divisive fight over a measure unlikely to make a big difference.




The evidence

From the beginning of the pandemic, there has been a paradox involving masks. As Dr. Shira Doron, an epidemiologist at Tufts Medical Center, puts it, “It is simultaneously true that masks work and mask mandates do not work.”

To start with the first half of the paradox: Masks reduce the spread of the Covid virus by preventing virus particles from traveling from one person’s nose or mouth into the air and infecting another person. Laboratory studies have repeatedly demonstrated the effect.

Given this, you would think that communities where mask-wearing has been more common would have had many fewer Covid infections. But that hasn’t been the case.

]In U.S. cities where mask use has been more common, Covid has spread at a similar rate as in mask-resistant cities. Mask mandates in schools also seem to have done little to reduce the spread. Hong Kong, despite almost universal mask-wearing, recently endured one of the world’s worst Covid outbreaks.



Advocates of mandates sometimes argue that they do have a big effect even if it is not evident in populationwide data, because of how many other factors are at play. But this argument seems unpersuasive.

After all, the effect of vaccines on severe illness is blazingly obvious in the geographic data: Places with higher vaccination rates have suffered many fewer Covid deaths. The patterns are clear even though the world is a messy place, with many factors other than vaccines influencing Covid death rates.

Yet when you look at the data on mask-wearing — both before vaccines were available and after, as well as both in the U.S. and abroad — you struggle to see any patterns.


Almost 30 percent

The idea that masks work better than mask mandates seems to defy logic. It inverts a notion connected to Aristotle’s writings: that the whole should be greater than the sum of the parts, not less.

The main explanation seems to be that the exceptions often end up mattering more than the rule. The Covid virus is so contagious that it can spread during brief times when people take off their masks, even when a mandate is in place.


Airplane passengers remove their masks to have a drink. Restaurant patrons go maskless as soon as they walk in the door. Schoolchildren let their masks slide down their faces. So do adults: Research by the University of Minnesota suggests that between 25 percent and 30 percent of Americans consistently wear their masks below their nose.

It is essential to take care of your health. especially since now there are all means for this. For example, when I need to donate blood or other tests, I turn to the laboratory https://getresulttoday.com/locations/orlando/. Results can be obtained within an hour.

Re: Majority of Canadians have now caught COVID

Yes, covid is infected both in Canada and in other countries. The most important thing is that people get vaccinated against covid to protect the body. A colleague from Canada came to me and he had a cold, we went with her to the laboratory COVID-19 & Monkeypox | Order Fast, Health Diagnostic Lab Tests online | ConciMed and did a covid test. She had a positive result. But the cold passed in a mild form
