re: What happens when we take off the masks?

You need to stop expecting absolute knowledge and wisdom from humans on tv. It takes time to study a new disease and develop treatments and vaccines. So things change as new studies are done

But it's rather odd those changes only seem to go in one direction.

So at what numbers? Case numbers, deaths, hospitalizations, would it be ok to lift the masks mandates and restrictions?

Then what?
4 More weeks of masks, and then masks until everyone is vaccinated and if you don't wear the I have been vaccinated button you will face the same actions as people today who are not wearing a mask.

So you don't believe science?
Downvoters apparently think surgeons don't need to wear masks. It's possible to think these mandates are stupid without going full retard, you know.
It would be you not believing science. The masks worn by surgeons are not N-95 masks let alone bandannas and other BS>

I have no answers for that. I hate the fricking things and can’t wait to stop wearing one. I’m just pointing out that shite changes

The thing is, I don’t think I’ve heard one person say they do have the answers for that. Are the “phases” even based off of numbers or are they just arbitrarily decided?

I appreciate the info. However those just talk about downward trajectories. I have yet to see hard numbers discussed. Also what classifies as a downward trajectory? One less? 50 percent less? Also what does it mean “downward trajectory within a 14 day period”? Lets say there are less cases than there were 14 days ago, but more than there were 4 days ago? Is that a downward trajectory?

You shouldn't be sneezing in your hand.

there is a large difference between the neck buff I wear and a clinical / surgery level mask.
There is, but the bigger difference is the sterile environment that the doctors generally wear the medical masks.
The people wearing the blue surgical masks aren't doing much more, if anything, that the people wearing a shirt.

we needed to shut everything down to flatten the curve so hospitals weren't overwhelmed. Flattening the curve meant extending the covid "season". But we flattened the curve.
Most places didn't fkatten the curve before reopening. I know we didn't in Texas and that is why we are dealing with very high hospitalizations. So high we have had to call in military medical staff.

In my experience, 99% of people wear the masks correctly. I rarely see someone who doesn't. Dirty masks endager the wearer more than others. The mask still limits aerosol coming from the wearer.

That is not true. The masks are not sterile. They come out of a big box akin to a box of tissues only it's full of masks. They are often located in the scrub room just before entering an OR, which is generally sterile.
As someone who has been around healthcare all my life and now work in, I respectfully call you incorrect. If I am standing near a surgery table over an open abdomen or what have you and I cough or sneeze, the mask prevents contaminating droplets from reaching my sterile field. It stops germs. And yes, sneezes or coughs can catch people unaware with no way to stifle it. This is the same reason that masks are effective in preventing the spread of any respiratory disease(including covid-19) from a person wearing a mask who coughs, sneezes, screams etc. to a person in the vicinity. Is it 100% effective? No. But it’s pretty damn good at stopping it.
I will agree, when it's not worn correctly, it may as well not even be worn. It should cover your the end of your nose, go up to around the bridge of it and go down underneath your chin.
I'm not getting into a big debate about this with anyone but I felt it necessary to share that.
