Why don't you google that and let us know? Then tell us what you're talking about.
Florida's death rate from covid is in the top 25% of states. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/
And wearing masks.
You're free to believe whatever you want, but that's not what the research says. Western Journal of Emergency Medicine: Volume 23, Issue 5.1, 2022 "In this study, suburban communities with mask mandates had a lower SARS-CoV2 peak percent positivity rate and an earlier peak than communities without mask mandates." https://escholarship.org/uc/item/60j4901w
do I really have to post the CDC study that was a cumulative of 10 studies that concludes masks do nothing for respiratory viruses? You seemed to have ignored it last time I did so I don't see the point this time.
Alright, I googled it, and it says a single virus particle can make you sick, so your stupid cloth masks that aren't 100% effective are actually useless.
Florida is the third largest state with the highest elderly population, and yet the fatality rate is under 1%
seems kind of a stretch now, doesn't it?
Fixed that for you. That one was all about influenza specifically, and didn't mention covid at all. Maybe you've noticed that in all the years public health officials have told us to get a shot when flu season started, they haven't said anything about wearing a mask.
You should be looking at studies about masks and covid instead of influenza.
You keep saying that. You are wrong. "Our study indicates that wearing a face mask can be effectively combined with social distancing to flatten the epidemic curve. Wearing a mask presents a rational way to implement as an NPI to combat COVID-19." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32797067/
"The KN95 presented a better mask efficiency among all tested masks with the mask efficiency overall larger than 0.5. In addition, the effect of mask-wearing on the change of ultrafine particle airway deposition efficiency was also investigated in this study. The ultrafine particle deposition efficiency in the airway section studied was found to decrease due to mask-wearing, and the decreases of the deposition efficiencies were similar among all loose-fitting masks tested." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35937716/
"The N95 remains the best respiratory protection, and in the event of the next airborne pandemic, FPEs could serve as adequate alternative protection against the viral spread." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35901992/
Doesn't change the fact that they're in the top quarter of the US states for rate of fatalities from covid, Maine has a little bit higher percentage of elderly people (https://www.prb.org/resources/which-us-states-are-the-oldest/) but their fatality rate is only slightly over half of Florida's (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/). Given that masks are effective at slowing the spread of the virus, some of those people who died wouldn't have caught the virus if they had been masking up.
Covid was not around yet, but you can apply the results to covid because they are both respiratory virus' that spread through aspirated aerosolized particles. They basically share the same exact symptom list as well. In fact, this study is extra damning for face masks as covid spreads much more easily, that if face masks don't work on the flu, they certainly aren't going to work on covid.
somehow to you that means they are doing something wrong. if doing nothing was actually so horrible, they would be the worst on the list, not top quarter.
You can, because you don't know what you're talking about. Try taking your statement down to one of these centres (https://edurank.org/medicine/respiratory/ca/) and telling them that. Let us know what they say.
Florida's fatality rate per million residents is currently 3,859 - higher than 38 other states, higher than the US average (3,332), and way higher than Maine's at 2,022 (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/). If it was a country its fatality rate would be the 10th highest in the world. (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/.)
Maine's population of elderly people is about the same as Florida's but the rate at which it's elderly are dying of covid is only slightly over half of Florida's rate.
You were claiming - with no proof - they did something right at one point. I'm showing the folks where their policies have placed them
Thank you. Those numbers say the fatality rate in Maine is lower than in Florida. You should tell the folks where you got them.
