Results: Case growth was not significantly different between mandate and non-mandate states at low or high transmission rates, and surges were equivocal. Mask use predicted lower case growth at low, but not high transmission rates. Growth rates were comparable between states in the top and bottom mask use quintiles adjusted for normalized total cases early in the pandemic and unadjusted after peak Fall-Winter infections. Mask use did not predict Summer 2020 case growth for non-Northeast states or Fall-Winter 2020 growth for all states. Conclusions: Mask mandates and use are not associated with slower state-level COVID-19 spread during COVID-19 growth surges. COVID-19 containment requires future research and implementation of existing efficacious strategies.

There’s ‘gonna be some blowback on this...
No surprise there. Face diapers don’t work. Neither do lockdowns or “social distancing”
Actually, I think that social distancing does work. If you’re not near people, you’re not getting COVID-19.
Of course in the process, society blows up.
And study showing minimal spread from opening schools...

“Some mistakes were made...”
Everything takes a study of things critical thinking people already knew like the worthlessness of masks and lock down. This applies to the jab. Society now is spoonfed information fake and real to control.
true social distancing is impossible for most. We need groceries, medicines, dr visits and other necessities not to mention the mental health issues isolation causes
There NEVER has been Any “Science” demonstrating a diaper on your face would prevent the Transmission of a Respiratory Virus. Furthermore, the Wells Evaporation Theory concluded your spiddle travels 1 meter, but the 2 subsequent Evaporation Studies concluded that the Aerosol you Exhale travels 21 feet even with a Diaper and the spiddle is meaningless for a respiratory virus.
How ignorant do you have to be to no understand that? Most Americans have no idea of the size or length of things. (Thank lazy-ass, illiterate, leftist teachers for that.) 15-days to flatten the curve? How long did that go really go on? The answer is long enough to destroy American small businesses and allow the Walmarts and Amazons that pimp Chinese crap to flourish.
This has been political from the very start. There are no coincides. There are no mistakes. Every last one of the MF'ers need to pay the price.
Only the N95 masks work...
If properly fitted and worn for short durations.

‘Our Kids Have Thrived’: Rural Peaster ISD Never Required Masks Or Distancing And Most Students Are On Track Academically
No, those sizes are incorect, and at the scale of 1 micron the mask has an electrostatic effect. N95 masks stop viruses. Synthetic surgical masks stop most sizes of droplets, although not individual virus particles. Cloth masks (cotton) do nothing because there's no electrostatic filtering.
Jam your face diaper where the sun doesn’t shine.
I smell thousands of lawsuits. Not enough lawyers?
Oh No, whats next? they going to tell us water really is wet?
but a viron is .1-.2 microns
You just admitted N95 masks work..
***************************************
Only if properly fitted. How many people wearing the same N95 mask for weeks on end had them professionally fitted? You just admitted your ignorance
Yes, most masks won't stop them except a properly fitted N95. But masks are meant to stop droplets, not individual virus particles. We can glean from of the spread events that a good proportion of the spread is from droplets (e.g the cold and damp meat plant in Germany).
