    What is an "infectious claim?"

    The government makes no such claim.

    I realize the question was not presented to me, but working in both Lee County, which has a voluntary mask ordnance and Broward County, which has a mandatory mask ordnance, I would say the percentage is around 5% to 10%, which is insignificant in the larger picture.

    I have also noticed as time moves on more and more people are giving up on wearing masks, the idea was proffered as something that would only be required for a short amount of time and has morphed into a permanent requirement, which is being rejected by a majority of the population, because wearing a mask it is both inconvenient and expensive.

    Do you ever cite evidence to support your views?

    Geezuz, the mask business has only been going on for a few months.

    I wonder how the Trump-supporting anti-mask crowd would have acted during WW2. Would May 1942 have seen these folks bellyaching about having to sacrifice?

    and now you will present the strong scientific evidence that the incidence of disease from respiratory virus is decreased by N95 use.

    Of course...that's why I quoted your post. The little green box at the top of the post with your name is actually a quotation. You too can do that by replying to a post. It's a very basic way to post on this forum.

    You made the claim that masks make a difference in the incidence of disease.
    Are you unable to back your claims?

    I made a claim of nothing.

    It's fun watching you not be able to back your claims that masks reduce the incidence of disease.
    By all means, please continue not to.

    You just replied to that comment almost an hour ago. I'm asking you what claim you want me to cite. It's very simple. Which claim do you want sources for? I've asked about 4 times now lol.

    Plus your spelling leads me to believe that there might be another reason you're refusing to cite the posts you want sources for. It's 5 o'clock somewhere lol!

    So you're still ignoring the conclusion of the link in the OP. Here is another study concluding with 25 fold reduction in risk to others from you wearing a mask

    "Using Tobit analysis, we estimated that the geometric mean coarse fraction copy number without a facemask was 12 (95% confidence interval (CI), 4 to 37) and that the effect of facemasks was to produce a statistically significant 25 fold reduction in the copy number (95% CI 3.5 to 180, p = 0.002) to <0.5 copies per 30 min sample."
    https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/journal.ppat.1003205

    No doubt you'll ignore this too as it doesn't fit your agenda so you'll carry on trolling

    Do you have some reduced incidence of disease data youd like to share or will you keep posting stuff you dont understand?

    How many times will you demostrate that you dont have the basic scientific understanding that the null hypothesis is default?

    Too true about the fear. I've always wondered why so many people like to watch horror movies. I've never been able to figure out why people pay money to be scared to death. People are funny.
