Virtue signalling at its finestA local beauty salon to me has requested that we continue to wear masks as the beauty therapists have grandparents etc that they visit. These are the same therapists who go clubbing and raving most weekends
That's actually a review of many studies which don't really conclude very much at all. It got the COVID wetty press (Guardian/Independent) excited when it was published as they were able to cherry pick a few results out of it to overstate the efficacy of masks.Plenty of research to show masks are effective.
Effectiveness of public health measures in reducing the incidence of covid-19, SARS-CoV-2 transmission, and covid-19 mortality: systematic review and meta-analysis
Objective To review the evidence on the effectiveness of public health measures in reducing the incidence of covid-19, SARS-CoV-2 transmission, and covid-19 mortality. Design Systematic review and meta-analysis. Data sources Medline, Embase, CINAHL, Biosis, Joanna Briggs, Global Health, and...www.bmj.com
Mask-wearing and control of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in the USA: a cross-sectional study
The widespread reported use of face masks combined with physical distancing increases the odds of SARS-CoV-2 transmission control. Self-reported mask-wearing increased separately from government mask mandates, suggesting that supplemental public health interventions are needed to maximise...www.thelancet.com
Not all people who wear masks fall into that category but there are enough that have been driven into a dark place by the government's use of fear as a propaganda tool.
How much help do you think they will be given to reverse their "programming"? I'm guessing it will be somewhere between zero and sweet FA.
Too many people are simply incapable of understanding risk and mitigation factors. Strong proponents of masks are making that error of judgement.

I know what a systematic review/meta analysis is. It does conclude a lot but that’s fine if you think you are right and these studies are false. I also linked another one which shows masks are effective. Here are some more.
Face masks considerably reduce COVID-19 cases in Germany
Mitigating the spread of COVID-19 is the objective of most governments. It is of utmost importance to understand how effective various public health measures are. We study the effectiveness of face masks. We employ public regional data about reported severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus...
Effectiveness of Mask Wearing to Control Community Spread of SARS-CoV-2
This JAMA Insights CDC review summarizes accumulating evidence that mask wearing reduces spread of SARS-CoV-2 infection and that universal mandatory mask wearing policies reduce infections and deaths and emphasizes face masks are one component of pandemic control measures, including physical...
I’m not diagnosing anyone. There is research predating covid that has made this conclusion. That’s why I mentioned it.I love it when armchair psychologists think they can diagnose mental disorders on a forum. Pretty insulting to be honest. I honestly hate what people have become.

A conspiracy theory refers to an alternative explanation of an event involving a conspirator plot organised by powerful people or organisations. Belief in conspiracy theories is related to negative societal outcomes such as poor medical decisions and a decrease in prosocial behaviour. Given...
It’s not virtue signalling. The thing about working in beauty is that 1. You have to be seen to be as responsible as possible because your relationship with your clients is based upon trust and 2. There is so much competition that you cannot afford to lose long standing clients to another salon.
It is virtue signalling when you're asking clients to wear a mask that is no longer legally required because the staff have elderly relatives. When the same staff are sharing that they are out clubbing and at raves most nights.
ETA I would be more likely to visit a salon that doesn't require masks after the mandate ends than one that is making their own rules about them
In those salons, the staff themselves are also probably wearing masks though. Salons have long competed to be the most clean and hygienic or to be perceived that way.
Personally, if someone’s going to be doing my lashes and it’s going to take ages, I tell them to take the mask off because it looks uncomfortable for them. But it’s not really about what’s legally required or what individual clients think, it’s about the reputation that salon has within a saturated industry.
We'll have to agree to disagree
True, but it works both ways - e.g. those who are implying anyone who wears a mask has some kind of anxiety disorder.I love it when armchair psychologists think they can diagnose mental disorders on a forum
I had anxiety well before the masks.
A science teacher at work told me the length of time a mask is actually effective for is very little - less than 10 minutes or something like that. I didn’t really get it but it did surprise me.
Yeah my cousins a doctor and he said the same thing.
Day 4 of testing pos on a LFT. Day 7 of symptoms. So relieved to only have it mildly. Partner too.
Do youbthink there's any way if narrowing down where we caught it? Mainly because I'm curious.
I've heard that with omicron the incubation period is shorter with many people are testing pos only 1 or 2 days after contact with positive person... has anybody else heard this? Seems very fast.

My mum caught Covid off my son. She picked him up Saturday lunchtime (we had no idea at that point he was infected obviously). She developed her first symptoms the following evening on the Sunday. Tested positive Monday on lft. It is very fast!

As long as she uses her Gray matter to good effect we'll not care
Don’t get your hopes up.As long as she uses her Gray matter to good effect we'll not care
People don't change them enough either. I used to have to wear them at work all the time and people used to ask me why I changed it at lunchtime
plus people reuse the disposable ones. Clues in the name!- Status
