"Medical masks were not effective, and cloth masks even less effective" Medical masks being N95, the only thing they found to work was respirators which you are not allowed to use per the mandate.
" study suggests that community mask use by well people could be beneficial"
COULD BE COULD BE, no science to back this up.
Meanwhile in the past there are dozens of studies done on healthcare workers trained and in a controlled study on surgical vs N95 masks.
"there was no significant difference in the incidence of laboratory-confirmed influenza"
Oh shit, they still got the flu...
Any health professional who claims the cloth masks work, just ask them one question. Would you wear that cloth mask in treating someone with TB? TB is a bacteria that is 1-4 microns and yes an N95 mask works since it filters .3 microns or larger, but a virus is far smaller than any bacteria and thus wont wont be filtered even with the N95 masks. .06 - .14 is the size of covid-19 for reference. But wait how does the respirator work it uses the same N95 filter? It doesn't get moist so it works by using electrostatic attraction which can help trap the virus.
I will bet you more people end up with staph infections including MRSA, and having more issues with this than they would with Covid.
It's liberal virtue signaling in mask form. At best it does nothing, at worst it makes people more sick (having a moist bacteria laden covering over your mouth and nose all day). And it's a way they can control your behavior so you know liberals will jump on that.
The senior hour was usually really early. Places eventually moved it to 9-10 am, but it was more like 7 am before. Sometimes the senior hour was more crowded than regular time since people were trying to get hoarded items placed on shelves before the store opened. I don't know anyone who used the senior hour, but curbside is still popular.
They were doing this in az at our local grocers but stopped randomly.
Guess older people didn’t give a shit and came in during the day instead of at the assigned time
my 75 yr old father-in-law is yet to wear a mask. No one dares question a guy strolling in with his Vietnam vet hat :)
When that dummy gets sick & dies we all suffer for it!
Go read the Maricopa county mask mandate... Most people have not.
Look at the study they cite, one single study.

The amount of my fellow Healthcare professionals pushing masks is sickening

The thing about control is so true.
They love FORCING you to do something. Restricting where you go and who you go with. Forcing uniforms. This has been a wet dream for them.
