Social Media bans video of Black Woman Doctor from Katy Texas saying how she hasn't lost a patient on Hydroxychloroquine. Trump Jr. put in Twitter time out over post. My facebook this morning was filled with watch this before it is removed posts.

Holland - masks don't work.

Masks help. How much masks help or when they help is matter of debate, and the differences between a circumstance where "my mask kept me from getting/passing along COVID" and "my mask was a nuisance that did nothing" are hard to spot. Unless you have perfect, real-time data not only of COVID carriers but also of the state of surrounding viral particles integrated into a real-time map of the fluid dynamics of the air surrounding all of those people (in which case you should immediately volunteer your services to the CDC), you CANNOT know when wearing a mask is saving a life and when it's a hassle. Anyone who carries a gun for safety (I assume most of us) but fails to wear a mask is displaying a startling failure to appreciate risks akin to living in a fallout shelter while failing to properly ventilate it.

You can ignore gun safety rules and probably not shoot anyone. You can leave your finger on the trigger, sweep people, shoot at marginal backstops and assume that guns are empty and the vast majority of the time, those behaviors won't result in a fatality or injury. However, the extreme harm associated with having a piece of lead/copper forcibly inserted into a human body is such that adopting safety measures which only rarely prevent prevent harm (i.e. vs behaving unsafely) means that safe behavior is still worthwhile. The cost of safe firearm handling is minimal, but the benefit is both enormous and unpredictable. Likewise, the cost of wearing a mask is minimal but the benefit is enormous.

Masks are more effective if the potential spreader wears it, and we are all potential carriers. You don't know if you have COVID, and neither do I. If you know today, you don't know tomorrow or next week. Much like gun safety, you are more likely to save another life than your own, and we all depend upon one another to gain that benefit. If the guy in the lane next to you is a moron and accidentally shoots you, wearing a vest to the range might save your life, but it would be far better if he were simply trained, careful and safe (i.e. not shooting you at all).

Please don't make me call your family to tell them that I can't do anything more and to pray. Please don't make me call someone else's family to tell them that I can't do anything more and to pray. It's miserable for me and it's far worse for the people who don't get to see someone they love ever again.

bull....total bull. Equating wearing masks when experts can't agree that it even helps to gun safety which everyone agrees prevents injuries/deaths.

To be clear, I'm not equating them; I am saying that wearing a mask until we have herd immunity is orders of magnitude more important. The odds that you ever draw your carry weapon in self defense pales in comparison to the odds that wearing a mask protects you or someone else. The agreement of experts is WHOLLY IRRELEVANT. The opinions of scientists are merely opinions; only reproducible data and well-reasoned interpretation thereof are science. The science universally shows that wearing a mask and washing your hands drastically reduces (50-94% reduction) the two principal means of spreading COVID or any other respiratory virus. Feel free to work your way down the list, as most of the articles are free: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=m ... d+efficacy. Don't listen to what the news networks say that the expert say (the news networks are completely useless for this because they 1) never understand the science and 2) always have at least one axe to grind), but instead look at their data directly. Listening to FOX and CNN to learn what "experts" say about ANY kind of science say is akin to learning firearm handling from Die Hard.

Do you have any scientific evidence showing that following Cooper's Rules saves lives? I don't, but I'm still willing to follow them on the (unfounded) belief that they almost certainly keep people safe. So if we are willing to do something for the sake of safety for which we have no evidence, how could we refuse to do something for the sake of safety which has been repeatedly shown to stop the spread of a virus that has killed more than 150,000 Americans?

I'm going to chime in and add that every "scientific study" has some sort of bias and assumption made to link cause and effect together in simple terms to persuade people to go in a certain direction. In reality, things have gotten far more complicated than it was decades ago. I'm going to use hand washing as an example. It is a scientific fact that washing your hands is better than not washing your hands, right? Maybe. I never said what you are washing your hands with. It could be plain water. It could be soap and water. It could be washing them in a bucket of radioactive filth. OK, let's assume it's one of the first two. Are you drying your hands with a towel or an air dryer? The air dryer is supposedly more sanitary, but not if you didn't use soap. In which chase, you are better off using a towel and not spreading your germs all over the place. Now what happens afterwards? Let's say you were in a public restroom. Did you just touch the door handle to exit? That is the most viral surface in any part of a public bathroom. You may as well have skipped hand washing just like half the people do.

Ultimately, it gets complicated. Masks too. People are more likely to touch their faces to put on, adjust, and take off their masks. Masks are probably dirty and filthy too. But under the right circumstances, it can also help in case you have spit talkers nearby. It will also keep people from touching their lips or noses (like the Band-Aid effect). Also, maybe the people who are willing to wear masks are more likely to have good hygiene in general, leading to lower infection rates than those who don't wear masks. That would be an example of correlation without causation. With that in mind, it is insanely easy to come up with studies to show that masks are terrible or that masks are life savers. So what's the truth?

You raise a valid point. Scientific studies are absolutely biased to some extent, even when the authors try their very best to avoid it. I am a physician: a big part of my job is sifting through scientific papers funded by drug companies which have a very clear motive (telling me that the new, expensive drug is amazing). That does not mean that the studies have no utility, just that there is implicit bias. The only solution is to look at the data, not at the conclusions (which are, necessarily opinion), and certainly not at a journalist's interpretation of the conclusions. In the case of masks and handwashing, the theoretical observational, and epidemiological data is very clear in favor of masks and handwashing.

I posted a long discussion of a JAMA article maybe 2 years ago on a decline in gun injuries during the NRA convention, in which the authors' clear intent was to paint all gun owners, even seemingly experienced ones, as unsafe. Instead, they accidentally published the single most pro-gun study in decades in a premier US medical journal. Their data solidly proved the fact that guns cause 20-40x fewer injuries among insured people vs such things as balconies, chairs and non-powered garden implements (extrapolated data was something like 4500 firearm injuries per year vs 120,000-200,000 for common household items). That study was quite possibly more important to our cause as supporters of the 2A than the data showing how law-abiding LTC holders are, and that was the EXACT OPPOSITE of the authors' intent.

In reality, things have gotten far more complicated than it was decades ago. I'm going to use hand washing as an example. It is a scientific fact that washing your hands is better than not washing your hands, right? Maybe. I never said what you are washing your hands with. It could be plain water. It could be soap and water. It could be washing them in a bucket of radioactive filth. OK, let's assume it's one of the first two. Are you drying your hands with a towel or an air dryer? The air dryer is supposedly more sanitary, but not if you didn't use soap. In which chase, you are better off using a towel and not spreading your germs all over the place. Now what happens afterwards? Let's say you were in a public restroom. Did you just touch the door handle to exit? That is the most viral surface in any part of a public bathroom. You may as well have skipped hand washing just like half the people do.

Ultimately, it gets complicated. Masks too. People are more likely to touch their faces to put on, adjust, and take off their masks. Masks are probably dirty and filthy too. But under the right circumstances, it can also help in case you have spit talkers nearby. It will also keep people from touching their lips or noses (like the Band-Aid effect). Also, maybe the people who are willing to wear masks are more likely to have good hygiene in general, leading to lower infection rates than those who don't wear masks. That would be an example of correlation without causation.

Technique is important, but we aren't there yet. We haven't made it to muzzle control and trigger discipline because we haven't cleared the "don't randomly run downrange" hurdle yet. There are people who have their noses hanging out of their masks and folks who believe that exam gloves confer some kind of magical protection from germs. Epidemiology studies have to take into account the mask-saggers and the magic glove believers, but they still find a benefit. It is VERY difficult to prove causation in that kind of study (though Florida Man is doing his best to show us what a no-mask control group looks like), so we combine that with basic science studies showing how many viral particles a simple mask actually blocks (it reduced the risk/amount of particles by 95% in two of the studies on that list).

With that in mind, it is insanely easy to come up with studies to show that masks are terrible or that masks are life savers. So what's the truth?

They published this and then retracted it because the PCR quantities that they used to say "the virus is there or not there" were below what their lab technique could accurately characterize. If you trickle a few flakes powder into a digital scale accurate to +/- 0.5 grain (buy a better scale, they aren't expensive) and the scale reads 64.2 before and 64.5 after, you cannot say from the readout whether you have actually added any powder. The authors in this study said "well the number is different, so I bet something happened. But let's ignore that fatal error and just take their findings as valid (though they aren't). The issue is that they measured petri dishes 8" from the faces of people with COVID who coughed 5 times and then found the virus on the outer surface of the mask and on the petri dish (sometimes). By itself, this is an interesting finding, and it reinforces my behavior of wearing a fitted N95 with a surgical mask over it while seeing COVID patients and particularly if they're coughing, but it doesn't have much to do with the discussion here. Specifically, the study shows that if you refuse to wear a mask AND place your face 8" from the face of an actively coughing, mask-wearing, infectious COVID carrier, you are likely to contract the virus. This reinforces the "don't hold your face 8" from someone else's unless you're on VERY good terms rule, which applies even when there isn't a pandemic (call that "social distancing" or just "manners"). It also points out that even if other folks wear masks, you should as well.

Wear a mask if you don't have a serious medical condition that precludes it.

Please.
