Not twisting anything.  Masks are not the reason for the lower death rates in these countries which you were clearly implying.  Where did I say Korea was destroying the world?  You ended your post by saying people were thick as mince if they didn't believe masks were effective.  This is funny as the bulk of scientific evidence says they are not effective.  

 

Three things man...

 

1. You did twist what i said. I didn't md mention being the main reason. That would be a different thing to say, ergo, you twisted what i said.

Healthier countries are likely having lower death rates. But lowering the ability to spread it plays a big part. 

 

2. I didn't accuse you of saying korea destroyed the world. I was using a metaphor 🙄

People got infected here very quickly but it was short lived. 

 

3. Yes masks are ineffective at stopping people inhaling the virus,  but they are extremely effective at two other things. First they stop people coughing and sneezing out in the open. 

Second they stop you touching your face the reported 23 times an hour.  

 

Those two benefits can possibly make the world of difference in a densely packed city/country. 

 

You never answered my question btw 😀

1. You said it's almost as if mask wearing countries are doing better......Masks have got nothing to do with it and is no different to coughing in to a handkerchief and in some cases are contributing to people ignoring the 2m rule and touching there faces more often. 

2. It was a crap metaphor

3. Totally disagree

 

Your question wasnt worth answering.  I wouldn't have even responded to your initial post had you not finished it by making a derogatory remark about people who dont agree with you, including most of the scientific community!

A handkerchief  the rest of your sentence is something you have literally never witnessed. Unless you live in Asia? 

 

My metaphor was fine, you were just daft enough to take it literally. Better watch out for that Earth destroying Korea 

 

You can't answer the question. Simple as that. 

 

Derogatory,   

 

I acknowledged what the science has said, and made two clear  extra points which are perfectly accurate to the majority of the 4.4 billion in Asia who wear one daily.

 

UK Government "The evidence suggests that wearing a face covering does not protect you, but it may protect others if you are infected but have not yet developed symptoms."

 

So aye, Asia is doing fine cos people are protecting others from themselves.  (One of the many diverse things which different countries have done)

People are confusing "not 100% effective" with "not effective at all".  There's a big difference with those 2 statements. 

 

Wear a mask or face covering if possible. There is "some benefit" and it is recommended by the Scottish Government.

South Korea is incredibly densely populated yet has had 11,000 cases and only 262 deaths. 

Taiwan is practically unscathed. 

Throw in Hong Kong too

 

It's almost as if the mask wearing countries are doing better...

 

Anyone still scoffing at masks are thick as mince 

Or simply not as dumb to think the mask was the cure...how thick do you have to be to believe that...answer very thick

[credit card]

I made this. Does the job

[CJGJ]

People do not need to wear face coverings where they are:

• Outdoors or while exercising
• In schools
• In workplaces such as offices and shops
• Children under two or primary aged children who cannot use them without assistance
• People who have problems breathing while wearing a face covering

Aye, they said that about care homes anaw.

Still you know best eh....no one was talking about care homes where clearly some protection should be worn so stop being so silly in trying to be childish..try reading below

 

the advice talks about face coverings, rather than masks.

The World Health Organization (WHO) currently says only two groups of people should wear protective masks, those who are:

• sick and showing symptoms
• caring for people suspected to have coronavirus

It says medical masks should be reserved for healthcare workers.

Masks are not generally recommended for the public because:

• they can be contaminated by other people's coughs and sneezes, or when putting them on or removing them
• frequent hand-washing and social distancing are more effective
• they might offer a false sense of security

another recent study has shown that they reduce transmission from asymptotic cases by up to 75%.  Also.coincidentally every country who got on top of this fast has extensively used masks.. maybe a coincidence - but it certainly appears they do no harm

No problem if people want to wear them

 

I just won't be one of them as I believe that they have just become popular through peer pressure not because they do anything re the virus

 

Not every country who wears them got on top of the virus but the myth spreads and people follow a trend

 

They may have other uses in some countries of course re smog etc but that its not the case in the UK

No need for a mask, my ventriloquism lets me get away with that all the time. The boy in front doesn't half get some funny looks when he's singing about 'genian glud '.

Any post that begins like this: 'another recent study has shown' is one to avoid imo.
