Of which there must be a couple of hundred thousand people in the country at any one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are masks not working in South Korea where they are strictly adhered to? Why are cases in the US not rising as much as SE Asia despite dropping masks months ago? The cults narrative is unraveling as it always would when put up to scrutiny. 😆 Edited July 21, 2021 by top4718 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point about masks is to cut transmission. No claim has been made that they eliminate transmission. Presumably South Korea is now encountering the delta variant or ... or I don't know. South Korea has a death rate 1/50 of ours. They are a success story. Edited July 21, 2021 by Carbuncle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying the masks don't work against the Delta variant but at the same time decrying people for not wearing them?

So how do we prevent pre-symptomatic transmission? (which must never be called asymptomatic again - even though on SF it's always meant people with the virus who don't display symptoms).
