Anyone got links to studies showing strong correlation between mask-wearing 18:28 - Dec 16 with 1229 viewsRyorry

Of ppl in public, and reduction of Covid_19 infections pls?

Asking for someone who's got himself into a spat with Peter Hitchens (mask naysayer).

Found this, but whilst basic text says "effective", the detailed PDF conclusion calls the correlation "weak" (but it isn't peer-reviewed).

https://royalsociety.org/-/media/policy/projects/set-c/set-c-facemasks.pdf?la=en (nb - it's a very long read & I haven't read it all yet).

This re SARS says further research is needed -

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02801-8 - not peer-reviewed, short on data, vague.

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS2213-2600(20)30352-0/fullt - Interesting, but again vague & focuses on mitigation rather than providing any hard data.

I remember reading a couple of weeks ago (bbc or guardian website I'd imagine) about a town or county in the USA that were all wearing masks and the difference in number of cases compared to other local areas was stark.

Sorry probably far too vague for you to even find let along cite.

Check out Prof Trish Greehalgh a GP academic who has been involved in the mask debate from the outset.

The study provides direct evidence on the effectiveness of widespread community use of face masks from a natural experiment that evaluated the effects of state government mandates in the US for face mask use in public on COVID-19 spread. Fifteen states plus Washington, D.C., mandated face mask use between April 8 and May 15. Using an event study that examined daily changes in county-level COVID-19 growth rates, the study found that mandating public use of face masks was associated with a reduction in the COVID-19 daily growth rate. Specifically, we found that the average daily county-level growth rate decreases by 0.9, 1.1, 1.4, 1.7, and 2.0 percentage points in 1—5, 6—10, 11—15, 16—20, and 21 or more days after signing, respectively.
.....
The estimates suggest that the effectiveness of and benefits from these mandates increase over time. By May 22, 2020, the estimates suggest that 230,000—450,000 COVID-19 cases may have been averted on the basis of when states passed these mandates.

I don’t know if this helps, but it’s fairly simple...

Cheers - looking at that & Jonty's re Prof Greenhalgh now - https://www.bmj.com/content/369/bmj.m1435

Hoppy's will be good for Twitter! ;) where Hitchens is busy churning out disingenuous nonsense by the barrowload, barking at anyone pulling him up on anything that their comments are defamatory & they need to apologise and retract!

I'm more than happy to remove my mask when near Peter Hitchens, and would urge others to do the same.

I hope I'll be never anywhere near him, quite frankly.

Anyway, rather enjoyed myself backing up the guy standing up against him & other naysayers - so many Covidiots out there - with some hard facts from a specific HMG document updated in Sept. (which had been a major bone of contention as none of the naysayers had bothered to read the 45pp of it carefully); plus some of those links, thanks all 👍

There were more clicks on my reply containing your link than to any other of my replies!

It's all gone strangely quiet on that (twitter) thread now tho, can't think why!
