Missouri Data Says Mask Mandates DO WORK! Huh...

[Truman62]

Mask mandates were effective as the delta variant of the coronavirus was driving a surge in COVID-19 cases across Missouri, according to an analysis that the state’s Department of Health and Senior Services conducted in early November.

But the state did not immediately share that data with the public. Instead, the information was released Wednesday, a month later, because of a public records request by The Missouri Independent, a nonprofit news organization that reported the findings, and the Documenting COVID-19 project at the Brown Institute for Media Innovation.

The records include an email dated Nov. 3 from the director of Missouri’s Health Department to a staff member in the governor’s office. The email included two graphs that compared the rates of reported COVID cases and deaths in parts of Missouri with and without mask mandates.

The director, Donald Kauerauf, said in the email that there were many variables to account for when assessing the impacts of mask requirements in Missouri this year, but that the analysis ultimately showed that such requirements were effective.

“I think we can say with great confidence reviewing the public health literature and then looking at the results in your study that communities where masks were required had a lower positivity rate per 100,000 and experienced lower death rates,” Kauerauf wrote.

The analysis compared the reported case and death rates in the parts of the state without mask requirements to rates in St. Louis, St. Louis County, Kansas City and Jackson County, where mask mandates had been in place.

The study looked at the period from April to October, when the delta variant was driving an increase in coronavirus infections worldwide.

During that time frame, there were 15.8 cases per day for every 100,000 residents, on average, in the areas that required masks, compared with 21.7 cases per 100,000 residents in unmasked communities, according to The Missouri Independent’s analysis of the data. Regions without mask requirements recorded 1 death per 100,000 residents every 3.5 days, compared with 1 death per 100,000 residents every five days where masks were required, the Independent said.

Scientists also claim global warming but can't prove it definitively either. Pay someone enough and they'll say whatever you want.

Lackie thinks Govt officials are lying, and falsified the records.

Where's the PROOF!

Otherwise you just LIBELED yourself, Lackie.

Missouri Health Dept should SUE YOU!

So the question is, is it because of the mask itself, or because people stopped going out in public because they didn’t want to wear a mask?

Did they study if the mask itself works?  Denmark did.

idiot62 you ever hear of an electronic device called a computer, if not then pay attention! A computer can be programmed to put out the desired information needed to get millions in grants to run a scam on the people, and the reason it works is because people like you have been programmed to believe and spread the fake shit the scam is based on

Truman anecdotal evidence is just that, anecdotal!

It is not science!

In LA, they offer $100 to anyone to get a vax.

In the Netherlands, it's $500!!

If Braindead Biden wants to give $450,000 to each criminal illegal alien, he should give $500 to each actual American to vax!!!!

It would be cheaper than the national health costs!!!!

Now, we must have TWO stupid A-HOLES!!!

Or, 2 names for one idiot!!!

DAvik refuses (or is unable) to answer my questions.

[Truman62]

I have no idea how the study was conducted Dan.

I wasn't there, but then NEITHER were YOU!

So you really have no reason to complain, and as such no proof that it was an inaccurate study.

All you really have is your old stand by,... DENIAL.

Once again, Dan resorts to its juvenile argument that would bar it from any Debate Club in America.

Yep.  And as usual I was correct to deny your claim.
