You... uh... can't "prove somebody wrong" by posting lies and laughing. I mean, it might make you feel good about yourself, but it's still wrong. Gov. DeSantis stopped the Florida number count and fired the person in charge during the height of the pandemic.

Florida shut down their Covid number reporting, and was found to be falsifying the data, so please don't post lies here.

masks are extremely effective at preventing diseases from being transmitted, if everyone wears them. Even lousy masks help. But people are people. They wear them wrong, they take them off to drink coffee, they take them off to have a phone call, they take them off to cough and sneeze, even...

The states with mask mandates were also the most populous. Thus: more people, thus, more deaths. Unless your theory is that masks cause Covid? Because otherwise I have no idea what you're getting at.

I get it, you believe facemasks do absolutely nothing and, as you say, you don't trust any studies, data, or science on it because people were dying while there was a mask mandate. You've made that clear. Here's the thing: nobody's saying that masks prevent Covid. Some people wear crappy masks...

There's more to life than... death? It seems to me that if your choices are (a) play roulette with your health or (b) make the absolute minimum of effort by putting a small piece of cloth over your nose & mouth while in crowds, one of those things is far more preferable, and it's bizarre to me...

You're correct that the purpose of the vaccine is to reduce or eliminate symptoms for 95% of people. But remember: the vaccine does not eradicate the disease. It doesn't prevent you from getting it, testing positive, and carrying it without any symptoms. The parks are full of kids who cannot...

I'm sorry that you don't understand how diseases are transmitted or how masks actually work, but I really wish you'd stop posting misinformation about a deadly virus here.

I think it's all about messaging. I think the mistake was making "taking off masks" as the ultimate end-goal that a lot of people fixated on, since they're so weirdly toxic and politicized for some, and the country learned that trusting people with an honor system doesn't work in America. So...

I really do feel for them; they've gotten a tremendous level of abuse from guests during all of this. When I visited with family last October (it seemed like a good idea at the time), on the first day my father-in-law was leaving a restaurant and had forgotten his mask. A CM asked him to put it...

I just want to say -- when I commented on masks over at another Diz site that offers News Today, I got a steady stream of mockery and Muh Freedoms. It's very refreshing and heartening to be on a Disney board and see that most people understand how science and health work, and that sometimes...

Unfortunately, that's not true. Many people who've recovered from Covid have contracted it again and can transmit the virus to others. They do not have immunity. I'm sorry that your doctor gave you incorrect advice.

Can you provide that data, please? I believe there's an abundance of proof that, as you say, virus transmission is hugely reduced if everyone wears masks during a pandemic. You actually contradicted yourself, by the way.

We're talking about wearing a mask -- a piece of cloth -- to protect yourself and the people around you from the spread of Covid and new variations of it. It's very easy, it's not infringing on anyone's rights or "equality" (?!) and yes, is for the health of all.

My prediction is that they'll put out a statement along the lines of "While the current guidance from the CDC and the State of Florida is that masks are not necessary for vaccinated guests, we require all unvaccinated guests to wear them and encourage all guests to do so for their comfort and...

....because they've been proven to, again and again, all over the world, for decades? I mean, this is really not hard to understand. An airborne virus can be blocked by masks. It provides protection. It's saved countless lives. We've known that since the 1918 Spanish Flu. If at this point...

That's not true at all. Please stop posting Covid misinformation here. If everyone is wearing even cheap/Disney cloth masks, that's multiple layers of protection. What matters most is if they fit around your nose and mouth. Properly fitting cloth masks on everyone is a great level of protection...

There's a huge range of efficacy when it comes to cloth masks, too. A "buff" (those elastic cloth bandannas) give very little protection, but a well-made cotton mask is much better. Use it with a multi-layered charcoal filter in it and if it's well-fitting, then it's excellent protection against...

And that's where we get into the simple-minded area of things. No. That's not true at all.

This is where we get into the "misinformation" area of things. The CDC has been recommending N95 masks for professionals since the beginning but has never recommended them as the best, or only, mask for the general public to wear. They're excellent masks, and I use them when I'm on long plane...
