  9.  @darlene2709  Background Containment of the COVID-19 pandemic requires evidence-based strategies to reduce transmission. Because COVID-19 can spread via respired droplets, many states have mandated mask use in public settings. Randomized control trials have not clearly demonstrated mask efficacy against respiratory viruses, and observational studies conflict on whether mask use predicts lower infection rates. We hypothesized that statewide mask mandates and mask use are associated with lower COVID-19 case growth rates in the United States. Methods We calculated total COVID-19 case growth and mask use for the continental United States with data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. We estimated post-mask mandate case growth in non-mandate states using median issuance dates of neighboring states with mandates. Results Case growth was not significantly different between mandate and non-mandate states at low or high transmission rates, and surges were equivocal. Mask use predicted lower case growth at low, but not high transmission rates. Growth rates were comparable between states in the first and last mask use quintiles adjusted for normalized total cases early in the pandemic and unadjusted after peak Fall-Winter infections. Mask use did not predict Summer 2020 case growth for non-Northeast states or Fall-Winter 2020 growth for all continental states. Conclusions Mask mandates and use are not associated with slower state-level COVID-19 spread during COVID-19 growth surges. Containment requires future research and implementation of existing efficacious strategies.

  32.  miguel sanchez  you haven't brought up a single fact, all you did was bring up nonsense conspiracy theories and lies. Yes the corporations supplied both sides, the US was neutral until pearl harbor was attacked, this is an example of the government knowing and encouraging something to happen but did actually do it. They didn't paint their planes with Japanese colors and bomb their own harbor. You are just making up nonsense, America invaded Russia in 1919 after the end of ww1 to overthrow the bolsheviks, how do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you just make up nonsense? Where did you hear this? Answer the question you coward, where did you hear this? It's obvious nonsense for in 1917 america was on the western front not invading Russia, where sre you getting this nonsense? The American corporations didn't supply the soviets until they were ordered to by FDR. What you forget is that Germany was considered the most cultured and intellectual country on earth before ww2. They didn't even believe the stories coming out of the camps when they were first reported. As for wtc7 you can believe whatever nonsense you want but the Whitehouse couldn't even cover up oral sex. I do believe they let 9/11 happen but to say they planned it and placed charges in the towers is nonsense tin foil hat conspiracy theory nonsense. You have watched too many silly "documentaries" like zeitgeist which is so full of misinformation its almost unbelievable. Even their nonsense about religion in that silly movie is so full of nonsense that you could easily disprove with even the smallest amount of research but people like you don't so any research, you watch an internet movie and run with it. Wtc7 caught on fire from wreckage that hit it from the other buildings. The fire melted the structural supports and it fell. That's what happened champ. The government is incompetent and couldn't keep something like that secret for so long. You need to grow up and stop watching internet movies. Now are you going to acknowledge that you have no idea what you are talking about and are basing all of these nonsense conspiracies on zeitgeist.
