Also significant reports from countries where they already wore masks before the virus hit like Korea and south asia had a lot less spread from what I recall. It’s been proven to reduce spread, and it’s not exactly difficult to wear, I don’t know why people are pitching such fits about it but I swear every time I have to go out I see at least a few older white guys complaining to their wives (who are wearing them sometimes lol) about how many people are wearing masks. It’s ridiculous.
It’s very troublesome when right wing media has to headline “TRUMP DRANK WATER WITH ONE HAND AND THREW THE GLASS”

You act like they haven’t had medical professionals do enough studies to prove this as a simple fact.

CNN is worse, but I typically don’t want to turn this into, “Democrats are better than republicans.”
That’s my position. If my choice is between two men in decline I’m going to pick the one who is going to have a cabinet with experts instead of sycophants, intelligible policy positions and coherent domestic and foreign policy strategies.

Talon did nothing wrong.
(Is Talon actually political enough? Serious question.)

If life has taught me anything it’s that medical studies can be misinterpreted to claim anything and many studies will also show the contrary but may be ignored because of a vested interest and so on and even longer held excepted medical beliefs in the medical profession can be completely and utterly wrong
It’s always a tool used by those above to keep others below. I remember as a young geek that there were many guys who would complain about any ‘female’ being in their geeky spaces. Making passive aggressive posts about us or review bombing our creative works, arranging doxxes on popular female creators that wrote canon in ways they disagreed with etc. It’s nothing new, it’s just that people are hopefully seeing gatekeeping for what it is more than ever these days - as a way to use the ‘rules’ as a way to keep the unwanted out of the in group and maintain a power structure that is favorable to them. Whatever that may be.

Talons more a criminal syndicate than a political faction in overwatch I think?
And you think there’s only 1 study?
Or that the studies aren’t repeatable?

I feel bad for anyone who is aggressively into politics on any side. It really is professional wrestling for adults. It’s all BS. They’re all friends working towards the same end. Money, power and screwing you.

I think that if there is a vested interest in something then it is easier to fund studies for something but as I said I think that wearing masks is a bad idea we should not be trying to avoid contracting the virus we should be trying to develop heard immunity is and wearing masks by limiting our breathing will simply make us weaker and here in the UK even the wearing of masks is a very contentious issue in discussion by scientists and many scientists disagree with each other because the studies show different things
Making a megathread to consolidate LGBT posting unsettled me for a similar reason, but they at least make a vested effort in keeping it open amidst false flags.

It’s bad PR when people want to discuss highly sensitive social issues and Blizzard ban people for it. For example if they did that for BLM discussions, they would come off as being indifferent to racism or worse, supportive of police brutality.
Isn’t that already a thing in the ToS?
So how much evidence is enough?
Take, for example, a meta-analysis of 172 studies that looked at various interventions to prevent the transmission of COVID-19, SARS and MERS from an infected person to people close to them. The analysis, which was published in The Lancet on June 1, found that mask wearing significantly reduces the risk of viral transmission.
