In reply to the post about mask wearing not being sound science.

The main reason for not wearing a mask is that the virus is just not all that contagious. If it were we would get data like, "we tested 1000 people at random and 80% tested positive." But we do not have even one piece of data that comes within hand grenade distance of that.

Diamond Princess: 3700 people living in very close quarters. 100% tested, 20% tested positive. Additionally, a high number of those testing positive shared a cabin with a person testing negative.

USS Theodore Rooseveldt: 5000 sailors, living in very close quarters. 20% tested positive.

Every civic location (including Italy which was reported as a horror story) which has reported the results of general testing has reported 5% infection rate, with the exception of NYC which reports a bit above 10% rate. Compare that to the normal seasonal flu which always infects 10% or more.

They cannot claim that the low infection rate is due to measures of mask wearing and "social distancing." The first death from this virus in California was in Dec 2019. The number in the name of the disease is for the year it appearred, 2019. I caught the disease in January. The lockdown started in California on March 19, 2020, so the diease was spreading for 3.5 months or more and infected less than 5% of the population.


The statements of "health officials" and politicians that "this is a highly contagious virus" are simply not true.
