The CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report said mask mandates adopted last year were linked to almost a 2% drop in new COVID cases within 100 days of adoption.
When states and localities lifted restrictions on in-person restaurant dining, they experienced a 1.1% increase in new coronavirus cases and a 3% increase in coronavirus-related deaths within 100 days of the lifting of those rules, the study said.

This webMD either is too stupid to interpret CDC's report correctly or intentionally distorts it. The CDC report says "Mask mandates were associated with a 0.7 percentage point decrease (p = 0.03) in daily COVID-19 death growth rates 1–20 days after implementation..." In the same report, it also says "The daily growth rate was defined as the difference between the natural log of cumulative cases or deaths on a given day and the natural log of cumulative cases or deaths on the previous day, multiplied by 100." Just to give you a perspective. If there were 10,000 cumulative deaths yesterday, and 10,100 the today, the daily death growth rate is 0.995%. An 0.7 percentage point increase is 1.695%, and that corresponds to a cumulative deaths of 10,171 deaths today. A 0.7 percentage point increase in daily growth rate means 70% (from 100 to 170) more new deaths today!!

A LOT OF PEOPLE are wearing masks regardless if it's mandated.
A LOT OF PEOPLE are not wearing masks regardless if it's mandated.
I think you might just change about 10% people's behavior by mandating masks. If that causes 1-3% change, it might mean masks are 10-30% effective.

Let me say this: mandating mask is the same direction as banning guns. Which is un-American.
I don't care about your theory of "human society". We live in the US. It's a free country/land. People here are not obligated to protect others. The government is not obligated to protect individual citizen. The only function the government have should be preventing the formation of an overreaching government.
If you don't like it, the simplest solution is to move to another country, like New Zealand or China.
The harder way is to push a change in the constitution, and the basic underlying culture of the US.

Do you need a permit to carry gun in public? Can you carry a loaded gun? Can you buy a machine gun? RPG? Mine? Are you free to make explosive? Can you do all these freely in Georgia?

I have been dining in restaurants indoor every week for quite a while.
Yes, in Georgia you can carry a loaded long gun in the public without a permit.
Machine gun is banned by a federal legislation, not a governor's order. That means most people agrees to ban individuals owning machine gun. This is not the case for mask - there is no legislation, not even an attempt, after one whole year.

.17% is 21% higher than .14%. To me, that is a significant difference. Just to tease you. Can you hold a loaded gun or rifle in public visible to others in Georgia? No machine gun or RPG in Georgia due to federal laws? Then Georgia is not free due to federal laws, then you should consider moving to some African country. I know that is stupid. The point is, gun and mask mandate are only two of the many things that we consider. We give up on one or two things if it is necessary, anyway, we have given up many things. There is nothing more sacred than lives. If we can give up lives, we can give up everything. I agree with you that there should be no national mask mandate. All I advocate is there are areas, like LA, where there is definitely a need for mask mandate. Whether or not there is a need in a specific area, it is up to the people there.

The answer is YES.
As long as there is no law forbidding certain behavior, the behavior is allowed.
Machine gun ban is a legislation that reflected the people's will. We do have the obligation to obey laws. Mask mandating, however, is never a law.
There are things more sacred than lives - the meaning of lives, the quality of lives. I think you would agree a life of 70 years outside of a jail is better than a life of 100 inside of a jail.

Agree. Without a mandate or law, it is very difficult for merchants to enforce their own requirements individually since there is pretty much no consequence on the ones who do not follow the requirement. Imagine a store that requires mask. There are ten costumers and two employees inside, and then one costumer comes in without mask. If that costumer does not cooperate, (Don't say it is only an assumption, we have seen that too many times.) it will take at least one employee to argue with him/her for ten minutes, then call the police and wait for the police to escort that person out. It probably takes away half of the workforce for half an hour to an hour. At the same time, those ten customers might not feel comfortable and just leave, they also have to wait in line for a longer time to pay if they decide to continue shopping there.

Please, please
Do not mix up the effectiveness of "mandating masks" and "wearing a mask".
I know many people are doing this intentionally or unintentionally.
Mandating mask as a public policy is a failed policy.
Wearing a surgical mask properly can reduce the dose of viral intake, which make covid symptom lighter, and somewhat prevent the transmission of flu.
Talking about science/anti-science.
I have to say...

对的？另外这个1-3%的变化实际上并不是基于总人口的，有没有口罩令，尤其是不强制执行的情况下，会自觉戴的人总会戴，不戴的还是不戴，疮扑街的拉力上，还有后来挺疮的游行几乎都没人戴。这个1-3%的变化是由那些有口罩令就戴，没口罩令就不戴的人造成的。这部分人有多少我不知道，但口罩的有效性绝对比现在看到的1-3%的数据要高。

我同意，需要区分mandate masks和wear masks
但在实际操作里，mandate masks vs. not mandate masks的大规模社会行为
可能是最接近wear vs not wear masks对于population health的影响了吧
这也是为啥，至今为止也只有理论上的说法
却没有一个真正意义上的社会实验
我觉着就是因为那种实验基本没法做
so the next best thing is to look at "mandate masks" vs. "not mandate masks"我觉着这个结果当然不是完美的实验，但还是很有考虑价值的
最起码，就美帝社会而言
如果mandate masks只能比not mandate masks的社区有1%-3%的影响的话
是否仍然值得，就可以讨论一下
完美的世界里，所有的gem virus都是可以避免的
又见川粉秀下限
那你别戴呗
这个是不同的概念。故意混淆在一块儿是没有意义的。美国的病例至今也是居高不下，死亡人数超500k。谁去为这些人的死亡负责？呼吁群众戴口罩，做好防护，这不是在限制你的人身自由，而是在帮助大多数人渡过难关，帮弱势群体生存下来，让生活尽快回到正常。
拎不清这么基本的问题，只能说明以下两点：
1. 愚蠢透顶
2. 存心使坏

This webMD either is too stupid to interpret CDC's report correctly or
intentionally distorts it. The CDC report says "Mask mandates were
associated with a 0.7 percentage point decrease (p = 0.03) in daily COVID-19 death growth rates 1–20 days after implementation..." In the same report, it also says "The daily growth rate was defined as the difference between
the natural log of cumulative cases or deaths on a given day and the natural log of cumulative cases or deaths on the previous day, multiplied by 100." Just to give you a perspective. If there were 10,000 cumulative deaths
yesterday, and 10,100 the today, the daily death growth rate is 0.995%. An 0.7 percentage point increase is 1.695%, and that corresponds to a
cumulative deaths of 10,171 deaths today. A 0.7 percentage point increase
in daily growth rate means 70% (from 100 to 170) more new deaths today!! Do the math yourself if you don't believe me. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7010e3.htm
假设只有1-3%的人因为mandate改变戴口罩习惯的话，口罩就是100%有效了。

呵呵，为什么不考虑洗手对阻止新冠传播的作用？美国人洗手是很马虎的，在保持社交距离的情况下，手接触引起的传播就很重要了。有致病性的流感病毒在体外存活的时间很短，而新冠病毒长得多
口罩确实没大用，带不带没差别，除非天天脸对脸说话作为工作内容的
口罩消灭流感，怎么可能对传播路径类似的新冠无效？都是病毒，飞沫传染。流感R0 2.x，能把这个压下去对R0 3.x就能降个大半下来
实在搞不懂对口罩的抗拒心理，尼玛这是用一点点不便换很多人命的事，一帮把人性挂嘴边的这嘴脸也是醉了

又是一个非蠢即坏的典型
这个数字受两个因素的影响：在强制口罩政策要求下多出来的戴口罩的百分比A，和戴
口罩的有效性B
极端情况下，有效性是100%，那么政策只导致了2%的原来不愿带口罩的人带上了口罩；另一种情况是，原来一个人都不带，强制政策让100%的人都带了，那么才可以得出口罩有效性是2%。
实际情况肯定是这两个情况的中间，但是考虑到美国存在大量楼主这样的傻逼，百分比A不会太高，所以口罩有效性也不会太低。
退一万步，即使只有2%的有效性，我也选择带上。所以STFU

I guessed so.
Let me say this: mandating mask is the same direction as banning guns. Which is un-American.
I don't care about your theory of "human society". We live in the US. It's a free country/land. People here are not obligated to protect others. The
government is not obligated to protect individual citizen. The only function the government have should be preventing the formation of an overreaching
government.
If you don't like it, the simplest solution is to move to another country,
like New Zealand or China.
The harder way is to push a change in the constitution, and the basic
underlying culture of the US.

US is not a free country. That are too many things you cannot do free.

I live in Georgia, a state that NEVER mandated mask. I'm happy to live here.
There is NO federal mask mandate. My country is NOT mandating mask.
Since I don't live in California, I don't have much of a say for your local policies. But Newsom will need to face the recall because of all he did
during the pandemic.

Do you need a permit to carry gun in public? Can you carry a loaded gun?

Can you do all these freely in Georgia? Seems you are happy with living in such a "no-free" state. There is no mask mandate in Georgia, that does not make Georgia better than Cal. As of now, Georgia has 22% more deaths per
capita than Cal, even you don't have overpopulated places like LA that
accounts for 40% of the deaths. But I guess you are not concerned with that, as long as it is not you or anyone you care about.
Yeah, Newsom might face recall, but whether or not he will be actually
recalled is still an unknown. What I know is Republicans in Georgia have
lost both seats in the Senate, and it is a done dealt. Don't tell me that
it had nothing to do with Repubs' handling of covid in the state. (Actually I don't know. Maybe Georgians are very happy with everything the repubs do there, including covid. Maybe they really just lost to "fake votes".)

Dem wins Georgia Senators' seat because Joe promised $2000 (oops, it's $1400 actually) to everyone. Yeah, it's somewhat linked to Covid.
I told you, my threshold for mandating mask is saving 5% of total population. California has 0.14% of people died from covid, while Georgia has 0.17%. I don't feel it's a huge difference.
My kid is going to school since last August. We had a couple of birthday
parties, one in an indoor playground (which mandates mask at the venue, and I agree with it since it's a privately owned venue).
I have been dining in restaurants indoor every week for quite a while.
Yes, in Georgia you can carry a loaded long gun in the public without a
permit.
Machine gun is banned by a federal legislation, not a governor's order. That means most people agrees to ban individuals owning machine gun. This is not the case for mask - there is no legislation, not even an attempt, after one whole year.

.17% is 21% higher than .14%. To me, that is a significant difference.
Just to tease you. Can you hold a loaded gun or rifle in public visible to others in Georgia? No machine gun or RPG in Georgia due to federal laws?
Then Georgia is not free due to federal laws, then you should consider
moving to some African country. I know that is stupid. The point is, gun
and mask mandate are only two of the many things that we consider. We give up on one or two things if it is necessary, anyway, we have given up many
things. There is nothing more sacred than lives. If we can give up lives, we can give up everything.
I agree with you that there should be no national mask mandate. All I
advocate is there are areas, like LA, where there is definitely a need for
mask mandate. Whether or not there is a need in a specific area, it is up
to the people there.

The answer is YES.
As long as there is no law forbidding certain behavior, the behavior is
allowed.
Machine gun ban is a legislation that reflected the people's will. We do
have the obligation to obey laws. Mask mandating, however, is never a law.
There are things more sacred than lives - the meaning of lives, the quality of lives. I think you would agree a life of 70 years outside of a jail is
better than a life of 100 inside of a jail.

You are too obsessed with formality. Laws allow EOs, so EOs are legit
unless revoked by the legislature.

Agree. Without a mandate or law, it is very difficult for merchants to
enforce their own requirements individually since there is pretty much no
consequence on the ones who do not follow the requirement. Imagine a store that requires mask. There are ten costumers and two employees inside, and
then one costumer comes in without mask. If that costumer does not
cooperate, (Don't say it is only an assumption, we have seen that too many
times.) it will take at least one employee to argue with him/her for ten
minutes, then call the police and wait for the police to escort that person out. It probably takes away half of the workforce for half an hour to an
hour. At the same time, those ten customers might not feel comfortable and just leave, they also have to wait in line for a longer time to pay if they decide to continue shopping there.
