“The key point here is that there’s a huge winter surge coming,” says Dr. Christopher Murray, lead author on the paper and the director of the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, in a press briefing.” and that there is no evidence to “the idea that the pandemic is going away.”
Last week, during the election debate U.S. president Donald Trump falsely said the pandemic is “going away.” Even though so far, COVID-19 has killedthat the wave is not currently fully preventable, but “expanding mask use is one of the easy wins for the United States.” Researchers of this study projected one-third of the deaths between September 22, 2020 and February 2021 would occur in just three states: California, Florida, and Pennsylvania. Current mask use guidelines vary widely across the United States. Some states, like California, Texas, and New York, have set rules on when to wear a mask while others, like Iowa, Florida, and Missouri, have not.
Whether it’s 85 per cent of the population wearing masks, 95 per cent, or a “plausible reference scenario” where things continue at its current trajectory until deaths become too high and social interaction and the economy is shut down once again — study authors say under all three of these scenarios, it’s clear the U.S. is “likely to face a continued public health challenge” from COVID-19 until February 2021, and beyond.
“We expect the surge to steadily grow across different states and at the national level, and to continue to increase as we head towards high levels of daily deaths in late December and in January,” says Murray.
healthing_ca Took a while for seat belts to catch on too. Sadly, I guess the option is have more unnecessary deaths, continued or increased restrictions, business closures, job losses, economic problems, out of control gov’t spending, huge deficits, delayed and postponed surgeries etc., etc..

healthing_ca 'Mask-wearing could save 130,000 American lives' Bool Chit.
healthing_ca That’s not what science says. Maybe you need a little more investigation on this.
healthing_ca All models are wrong. George E.P. Box.
healthing_ca So have you found out that nobody in Canada cares about your opinion so you’re opining on the United States? Please try to find some meaningful work, this must be so embarrassing for you.
healthing_ca U wear masks to avoid infecting others. You therefore assume you are contagious. Your mask concentrates the virus.Everytime you touch your mask you contaminate your hands & infect everything you touch. Unless U wash hands after EVERYTIME you touch it You become a super spreader
healthing_ca That is completely unfounded speculation. Talk to some actual doctor, they will tell you masks don't work. Surgical masks can't stop a virus 1/1000th the width of a human hair. Like expecting a chain link fence to stop a handful of sand.
healthing_ca kerpen WesPegden EWoodhouse7 MartinKulldorff SunetraGupta How can the media get away with promoting such garbage?
healthing_ca The 'study' is a self-promoting exercise by IHME_UW , whose modeling of the epidemic has been ridiculously wrong, and continues to be wrong. Masks don't work. The IHME models are wrong. Pick a side - the people, or the State.
healthing_ca There is no scientific study which concludes that a mask actually saved a life. There is no scientific study which concludes masks are effective at reducing transmission. Stop the lies. Stop the fear. Stop. MediaLies
healthing_ca Ppl use masks as if they gave 100% protection. If real value is 80% then fine. If it’s 20% masks actually cause new infections.Real protection unknown.Likely to be low since covid is airborne+many routes of transmission.-Dr Antonio Lazzarino Epidemiology&Public Hlth,UofC London
healthing_ca Is this a paid advertisement?
healthing_ca 86% of Swedish people said they don’t wear a mask when they leave the house, 2% say they do. It was predicted 90,000 would die in Sweden, but that didn’t happen to this maskless country.
healthing_ca Literally impossible to measure outcomes that have not yet happened.
healthing_ca SARS Cov-19 Micron size=0.12. Average Micron size of a cloth mask=11 to 22. You're trying to stop a mosquito with a chain link fence.
healthing_ca How about you fck off with covid shit all the time
healthing_ca False
healthing_ca Though doest protest too much.
healthing_ca
healthing_ca
healthing_ca but the media has been irresponsible in its complicity in the maintenance of a higher degree of public anxiety than is justified by this illness.
healthing_ca 'But we don’t know if masks really prevent you from infecting the others. It may be that they make you more infectious for the others.'-Dr Antonio Lazzarino Dept of Epidemiology&Public Hlth,UofC London
healthing_ca fake news
healthing_ca They work great!
healthing_ca 🤔
healthing_ca But then how will big pharma make billions on vaccines
healthing_ca Um, do you not realize this was debunked and they retracted this study yesterday? Who does your fact checking?
healthing_ca Lives of people that are crippled with co-morbidities and months away from death. There's a reason we didn't use to do that. Also, ask them if they really want people to socially distance and wear masks forever.
healthing_ca
healthing_ca Dunno about this one guys
