Quick thought exercise:

-How many months would it take to get to elimination in the US if everyone wore an N95 or better in all public contexts?
-How many months would it take to get to elimination in the US if everyone was vaccinated with one of our current crop of mRNA vaccines?

If you answered "probably a while - like maybe 6 or 8 months?" for the first question and "actually never" for the second question congrats you're a doomposting antivaxxer, please report to QCS for your perma

If everyone wore an n95/kf94 not even fit tested just 'reasonable. Even if all these. Dicknosing continuee and poo poo it would cut transmission rates to like lets say 20% of what it is now. Which is huge due to the exponential nature of spread. You'd eleminate the large majority of variant creation due to reduction in spread. Average viral loads would go way down so then do deaths and hospitalizations. It's a loving pipe dream though. Politicians hate the mask

if everyone wore an n95 properly everything would be over in 23 days.

if everyone got vaccinated hospitals would not be overwhelmed but Covid would continue spreading until a variant evades the vaccine

Same.

And yeah, KF94s are equivalent to N95s in filtration. Their certification and standards are set by the South Korean government, while the N95 standards and certification are done by the US government. Same goal of 95%+ filtration, but the US standards are done by a workplace safety origination, while SK's is not workplace focused. So the kids masks that should never be used in a workplace still get certified.

That is 23 days without brunch you are talking about. Check your privilege and consider that a lot of people would be struggling with "lack of brunch" depression. So sure a lot of people would die if a variant evades the vaccine, but...

Why Are Americans —Still!— Wearing Cloth Masks

ah I see, well it’s all so simple and yet the Americans keep loving up in spite of clear and easy to understand messaging.

quote:

Ultimately, while masking is important, it’s not the most important thing we should be doing to protect ourselves from the coronavirus. Although Osterholm makes it clear that he’s very pro-masking, “it’s really all about the whole hierarchy of environmental control,” he said, referring to the various methods for reducing risk within a space, a key concept in occupational safety. Vaccination is by far the most protective measure a person can take. Second is ensuring proper ventilation—replacing the air in a room at least five to six times an hour, he explained. Next is social distancing. And then there’s masking: “You keep going down in that order, and finally the lowest thing in terms of overall prevention potential is individual respiratory protection,” he said.
gently caress this article, I ragequit when I got to that paragraph.



Stage 1 Eliminate the hazard: This is a zero covid policy.

Stage 2 Replace the hazard: Not applicable.

Stage 3 Isolate people from the hazard: Lockdowns, Staying home

Stage 4 Change the way people work: No contact pickups and deliveries. WFH.

Stage 5 Personal protective equipment: Masks.

Stage 6 All preventive measures failed, hope the hazard doesn't kill you: Vaccines.

Well, we've given up all those other preventive measures, might as call the one remaining measure ineffective.

crack pinging as I sit in the Sams Club parking lot for pickup and see maybe 10-15% of people walking in or out in a mask. Which, to their credit, is better than anywhere else in town that I’ve seen.

County positivity rate has been sitting at 15% for a month and about 1 in 150 residents have tested positive every week since the end of July but COVID couldn’t be more over if it tried.

it's pretty funny that there's a huge amount of effort that has gone into actually doing risk mitigation, often by the federal government itself, but we are just intentionally ignoring all of it and making up new stuff to blindly support whatever it was we wanted to do anyway.
