The study is based on some assumptions under different scenarios. It suggests that if 95% of Americans wore masks in public it could drastically reduce the amount of COVID-19 deaths by February.

made estimates based on some assumptions under different scenarios.

In a second scenario that they think is more likely, they say 511,000 could die between September and February under the assumption that"states would once again shut down social interaction and some economic activity" for six weeks once deaths reach a certain threshold per million residents. If that mask percentage changes to 85% of Americans with restrictions, it could still save some 96,000 lives, they say.

What a load of shit. It 'could' we know that means nothing. The science isn't there or you would say it would. Stop with the panic porn and misleading the people

From you breathing and your saliva causes carbon monoxide poisoning in your stomach can cause cancers Cdc isnt telling you this quit wearing your masks you are harming your insides now stop making children wearing them you are hurting them.

Masks are deadly to the Immune system when the Spanish Flu pandemic millions died. But the strangest thing was the doctors and health professionals said it wasn't The Spanish flu that kill millions of people it was the masks the masks are unsafe BACTERIA

Masks aren't some magical shield morons. If they worked so well then why aren't there cloth condoms? Idiots

wont happen

The rising of the number of deaths may slow down, but the deaths won't reduce. A mask won't bring someone back to life.

did it seriously take you guys THAT long?

See, most americans only give a shit about themselves and their own high bar comfort levels that, when challenged, results in nationalistic conviction and incessant tantrums.

Another study that projects someone else’s opinion. I had a college professor that showed my class how statistics and studies are distorted to make a particular outcome. If everyone took his class then most people would believe these covid studies with a grain of salt.

BS narrative, everyone I see is wearing a mask. People are suffering from COVID cabin fever after month of being locked up, and now they are out going wild, the mask cant stop the pandemic, only a vaccine can. FakeNewsNPR

I see 100% in Florida and how is that going

Wearing a mask will not keep you from getting covid-19 they say 200000 have died of covid-19 but reality only 6% of that has died of covid-19 alone the rest of underlying causes so what's the actual number

fred_frugal

Last week CDC reports Mask are in effective in protecting people from getting Covid-19, in fact the study found that mask wearing is more likely to contract Covid-19. Hand washing and not touching your face is much more effective preventing Covid-19.

Fake virus perpetuated by fake media.

This is idiotic

something. So called experts

JoeBiden make it a law!

Actually we have to lower the obesity rate and boost our immune systems, why doesn’t anyone talk about this?

That's bull shit. You don't deserve my tax $'s!

Duh. It called discipline. When I was in da pen I learned about discipline fools

KaivanShroff Too impossible for MAGAs to wear it

Agree

dhenders09 AmericansJustWearADamnMask WearAMask in public it's not hard- the doctors & nurses wear multiple masks & PPE for 8-12 hr shifts while they try valiantly to save people who caught Covid from someone without a mask! People are dying across the USA, MaskUpAmerica

Anyone remember at the start, they told us to wash our clothes after going outside? That our clothes can carry the v1rus on them? Same with bringing our groceries in to wipe them off... So if cov1d is going to stick to ur clothes what's it going to do with ur mask? It's also...

🤷🏻‍♀️

Unfortunately I’m seeing more and more people without masks. It’s discouraging. MaskUp

Sounds like the same failed computer model Neil Ferguson used back in February.

Prove it! 6 months of being shut hasn’t made a dent, and we’re supposed to buy this...

It's too late. Some people decided they werent going to wear a mask when the pandemic started and it'll be impossible to change their minds.

It would also dramatically increase cases of pneumonia, high blood pressure, ugly skin rashes, and feelings of social isolation.

Not true. Masks don’t work against viruses.

Thank god for masks

ChristineVendel It worked in Europe? A more honest approach would be to say that, although the science is not conclusive, it would seem the more prudent approach. Don’t treat your readers like second graders. We can read studies, balance risks, and see the lack of “mask success” elsewhere.

That a big lie

How is that. Masks only prevent 2.5 percent of any virus?

BUT SO MANY IDIOTS ARE AGAINT IT FOR NO GOOD REASON!

I WILL wear a mask!

I don’t think so.

I stopped last Friday for gas at a busy convenience store/gas station. I was the only person there with a mask. The only one.

The people that complain about wearing a mask is the people you don't want to save if we leave this planet because they will claim the government is taking away their freedom and take off their helmets in mars

Kh9syl And people are just realising this now? 200k + dead time to mask up should have done it months ago.

Not true

And the same idiots on this thread that don't want to wear a mask will put their seat belt on in the car and many of them probably complained about that back in the day.

Assumptions? Sounds like billship to me. More left wing propaganda.

McDreaBean Simple

The average size of the virus is between 60 to 140 nm (nanometers) the only mask that can stop a virus that size is an n95 mask. The mask that average people uses don’t work and make things worse. Ask yourself how many time you touch your mask then touch a door or table?

But it still will not eliminate the virus. The only way to live is to be yourself. If a vaccine is found great then we may eradicate the virus if not we will have to learn to combat it with drugs to ward it off. I mean sooner or later if a vaccine isn't found we will all get cv19

ProfMChin In what researchers at the UW Institute for Health Metrics & Evaluation 'describe as the worst-case scenario, they project that COVID-19 deaths could exceed a million between Sept. 2020 – Feb. 2021 if ... 'the current pattern of [states] easing' restrictions continues.'

Prove it....

npr- this isn’t a real news story so I’m not going to waste time on it. BidenCrimeFamiily

Where did they get the data to support the level of mask virus suppression they use in this model? Please don't say a lab study where they measure how far spit and whatknot flies through masks? Huh. Leads to the question. What kind of masks?

Ok...here’s how I want the results... nothing about Uncle Joe wearing his mask as a chin strap, nothing about reuse upon reuse of the mask, nothing about taking them on and off with your hands, nothing about taking them off to eat and laying the old contaminated rag on the table!

Obey. Comply. Be afraid. Disconcertingly transparent step on the path to 1984.

You're still citing the fucking IMHE model-a historically inaccurate model making very unsubstantiated predictions.

Lies. Bs.

Unfortunately it seems that about 42% of Americans are complete assholes. MAGAtts

No shit! You don’t say!

Wrong

Science not opinions

It is an insult to one's fellow man or woman not to wear a mask- especially if wearing one by most all of us could save so many lives.

There is absolutely no data behind this crap and this so-called organization has been wrong the whole way. They have no credibility.

scamdemic

casedemic

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Why stop at February if we wore them all the way to December 2021 we could stop deaths completely

You know what they say about 'assumptions'. This is business 101.

BryanDawsonUSA “Based on assumptions...”. Why is this even published?

Not wearing a mask or wearing a mask you “could” still get covid

How do they know who wears a mask?

IF 95% of writers practiced Journalism Ethics we'd get better news. Wear a Mask and note that AHANewYorkCity and AmericanCancer could help you understand that together Heart Attacks, Cancer and Pulmonary issues from West Coast PVM Arsonists kill 5x more than Covid AuditCovid

Thanks to the USMilitary. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅

FrankSowa1 Duh.

Masks are a placebo. A magical talisman to make the gullible, stupid and compliant feel safer. The virus has a 99.97% infected survival rate. Get on with your lives. Throw away the masks. Stop living in fear.

If every grew some balls and ignored it like the retard kid in class, covid would have gone away on its own.

Ugh, guess what, 95% already, when in public, wear masks.

....but “freedom” 😢😡

What a lie

No it won't

And changing amount to number would make them individuals, not an indistinguishable pile of victims

KathyBrownKathy By now The ones not wearing Masks 😷 Are doing so intentionally & Need to be charged criminally 🧐

Everyone is wearing masks here and we still see Covid. It’s moving among family members. Masks don’t work.

More models & guesses from the U of Wash that gave us the 2 million dead model. The underlying research specifically references surgical masks, not old t-shirts. The 2nd study shows another 200,000 dead with mask usage by Feb 2021.

It's for the health and safety of our country. It's one American protecting another American.

I guess I’m extremely ignorant, but it’s mandated almost everywhere, so stop the stupidity about mask wearing. No I hate wearing it, buts mandated by law.

Masks don't work

VIDEO - Mark Meadows: “We are not going to get control of the pandemic.” Many countries have successfully controlled the pandemic. This is a confession of the Trump administration’s incompetency.

Bull Sh_t!!!

MaSkS aRe WoRkInG. iTs JuSt ScIeNcE

It “could” which means “maybe”

False considering that the COVID-19 virus is at .01 microns and masks block microns at .04 More BS by NPR

There seems to be far too many Americans thinking only of themselves.

I know...

Sue_MF_Mason This country only gets 55% of the people to vote let alone put on a mask. Pipe dream.

94-99% survival rate depending on age and health quit fear mongering

'Isn't it ironic?' Alanis 'Trump Names VP Mike Pence to Lead Coronavirus Response 'President Trump sought to reassure the country that his government was controlling the spread of the coronavirus' Feb. 26, 2020

USNA getting it right🇺🇸 ⚓️

Why cant people understand this Why is a 2 oz piece of fabric in your face such an issue....

And prolong it indefinitely. Masks pause, they don't stop.

People are dense and dumb not wearing masks.

We’re not selfless enough unfortunately.

Probably wrong again

NPR is the enemy of the people

This is where the lack of leadership from realDonaldTrump has failed America! Trump knew how bad it was, lied to America and now more that 228,000 people have died! GOP SenateGOP HouseGOP ProjectLincoln CNN FoxNews CDCgov TeamTrump EricTrump IvankaTrump DonaldJTrumpJr

Wow NPR has a huge audience obviously and you’re all brainwashed! Mask do not work. Huge percentage of people that are catching Covid wear masks all the time. They are not helping. Wake up people do your own research!I guess you’re all going to hide for the rest of your lives!

We may not have been able to avoid being Pandemic participants (Speculation) We can/must do our best to stop spreading (Fact) It is your body/choice But where is Your Mind/Logic? Mask up,Disinfect,Social distance Obstinate personalities & choices can be spreaders.Truth

It’s “based on assumptions”...is that science?

If Pelosi would have China discontinue releasing what I call Plannedemic-1, then the increase in cases would come to an end.

karma will thin the herd....

Unfortunately, about 38% of Americans are stupid and selfish.

CindyFitch1 But the vast majority of people who contracted COVID reported they wore masks in public 100% of the time?

Let's get it together, fellow Americans.

Reading the comments here, why bother with studies. The non-masker / non science people will never be convinced to wear one and will therefore doom many more to die. Way to go non maskers.

NPR is no longer a credible source.

Absolutely agree

govkristinoem

All lies! Remember when they said '15 days to flatten the curve'?

Tell Trump and the idiots that follow his lead. They are literally KILLING us!!!

Hey VP ... Perhaps if the WhiteHouse actually wore MASKS your staff wouldn’t all have COVID19 now... no campaigning for you & just days before the Election2020. WearADamnMask 😷 TrumpOwnsEveryDeath 😷☠️😷

Take a look who's in charge of the country for the next 9 days. DerangedDonald realDonaldTrump was lying/denying/golfing for 2 months while the TrumpVirus raged. DumpTrump2020

This of corse assumes masks do any real good as used by the general public. They don’t.

JustANurse99 BidenHarris2020

Everyone wears masks already. What’s your point?

LIE. We are OVER THIS BULLSHIT. 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

Yeah., right.

Then hold the CDC and Fauci liable for all the deaths we have had since they r the experts and didn't mandate it from day one

Ahhh yes.. now we're up to 95% needing to wear them lol. I remember when 80% of us wearing them was going to do it

Replying to realDonaldTrump and DanSchultz2 I will testify under oath Sir, we marked ALL patients and deaths covid, for months, no test result, the cases and deaths are so grossly inflated! Plandemic! For months, just here in MN! ER/ICU nurse, I speak the truth!

A mask is more protective than that vaccine ppl claim to be waiting for. The needed “panacea” is right here at our disposal but Americans are too busy fighting store clerks & purporting fake rights violations laws to use it. We’re in this together but look out for yourselves 🤷🏿‍♀️

Trump and Atlas want to spread the virus through young Americans. Despicable.

BS!!!!!!!

This is so obvious that only knuckle dragging magas argue about it.

Mask dont work

'The study is based on some assumptions..' Nuff said...

Jendrite leaving this here

This whole problem started at the top with plain ignorance Republicans have made this political. They had a play book and didn't run it for that reason They see mask wearing as an infringement of peoples freedom If the American people had been told from day one problem solved

Not dying is un-american 🤡

I wear a mask if I am anywhere near others, but a whole lot of us are rugged individualists who don't like being told they have to do things. Universal masking will not happen. Fortunately, there will be several approved vaccines, possibly in November.

By February the people have already revolted against this shitshow

This is just 1 study, but the really important study about masks is being suppressed. We need to see the ' Danmask study'

Problem is, there are too many no-mask a-holes out there.

If so then why are the cases spiking ?🤔

Got your dates wrong, November 4th when Trump Re-elected

Trump isn’t interested in saving lives, just his job.

COVID19 | America lacks something called Common-Wisdom. It is this Common Wisdom that dictated that Virus transmission was not happening majorly by hand/palm contamination; but for this wisdom, countries like India/Japan would have seen many more million infections by now!

Everyone wearing the masks are getting sick regardless. More people died from BACTERIAL PNEUMONIA from mask wearing during the Spanish flu than from the Spanish flu. It’s not that hard to find this information if you just research for yourself and stop believing the “news”.

FakeNews

Omg just stop this stupidity

megaKINGkrush And it would be over if they paid us all to stay home for 6 weeks.

I cannot believe a civilian funded programming is not covering this Biden coverup scandal!!! But yet Trump impeachment was covered. WTF

Hey. Where is the reporting on Biden and China

Bull

Toooo hhHarrrrd. My star spankled rights will HURT.

Really. We're forced into masks on Canada and the cases are exploding. Now doctors are saying masks are gonna kill people.

Imagine if the President and his administration had amplified this truth in March or April when it was first known. How many could have been saved? 100,000 lives? 150,000 lives?

Masks are the new exit polls

Mask? Like the kind Biden's been wearing? The kind where we can't really see what's behind it - Biden public persona vs private traitor? Joe to END US oil & gas while Biden family heavily INVESTED Ukraine& China Gas & Energy Companies. Treasonous BidenFullOfMalarkey

But we won’t because FREEDOM! Being stupid is every American’s Flying Spaghetti Monster given right! MAGAHatesCommonSense

We are still thinking about those emails.

Too much ' i no my right' won't allow it. Holding freedom as ramson, only when they agree to wear mask.

That's bs

we dont have 95% of intelligent americans

The 'virus' is 1,000 x smaller than a human hair. Cloth masks can't keep that out. Like a grain of sand thru a tennis racket.

That’s a computer model done with inaccurate data to come up with that new claim. Fake news...

Bullshit

Yes, unfortunately Trump and his enablers are just about the only thing standing in the way.

I just don’t understand how this was ever even a question, how it ever even became a point of contention.

If 100% of Americans just stopped everything in life, it could drastically reduce the amount of COVID-19 deaths by yesterday.. what a pile of shit you guys are distributing

What a pile of nonsense. Not an ounce of science or proof in any of it. Just guys with degrees in a science field guessing or having an agenda. They have been wrong on every turn on this..

BexZex 'IMHE Forecasting Team' Please stop reporting this trash. No one has been more wrong with forecasts than IMHE.

I want to kiss your man cunt 🌹 your wet man cunt and use it as a mask. I want to wear your erotically divine hole as a burka.

This is such bullshit. Masks do not work. Period. Obviously non of you have ever sanded drywall with a mask on only to realize your still breathing in dust unless you have a respirator. Stop perpetuating these lies. We’re destroying our immune systems !

If only you could get people to do what you want...

I see this photo and all I have to say is Go Army Beat Navy! 🇺🇸

My body my choice

Ya know it’s really sad that a study comes out that says we can save 130,000 lives by wearing a piece of cloth on our faces for a bit and people are really arguing it.... and somehow acting like it’s patriotic..... to kill Americans....... pathetic.

Now, would that include public protests? Because you folks in the media and on the left of been real squishy about that.

Such bullshit

Why don't u all find out and investigate biden. Get off the masks already. I won't wear one haven't and never will. No submission here.

But we didn’t thanks to realDonaldTrump. Re-elect realDonaldTrump for another 4 years of such errors. 401K. VOTE.

And wear them correctly and not on your chin!

SamNZed Masks help. Why are you all so anti mask!?

Such bullshit. If nobody wore masks & we didn't shut down, we'd be at herd immunity by now with the same number of deaths.

🐂💩

The same clowns whose estimates have been way off fromthe beginning 😂😂😂

And if NPR reported unbiased story's Americans would know the truth about Joe Bidens scheme in Ukraine and China

I call BS. If the masks are indeed as powerful and magical as we are led to believe, wearing yours should keep you safe. Masks are being made and sold on every corner, each with their unique material and we’re supposed to believe they are the ‘answer’. Kool Aid?

If we prohibited people from drinking we could save 80,000 lives every year. But instead we give people the freedom to do things that are unhealthy because that’s the way our system works

Very few doctors agree! America, GET ON WITH IT! FoxNews

The epidemic is over. Ditch the masks plz ppl. Look at the stats. Masks /lockdowns now are futile. Futile is putting it lightly. The world is drowning in lies.

Masks should be uesd in a closed space as soon as possible.

You wrote an article on rotten twinkies last week but refuse to cover the laptop from hell. How very bold and brave of you.

What if they don’t is the question, some people just don’t get hints very well...

But the BLM marches were totally masked up? And they were cool. Right? Well I'm confused.

Take your mask and shove it

Americans are wearing masks

Does that include rioters?

I don’t think so...

I developed a model assuming media demagoguery dropped by 95%. In that scenario 80% of people’s stupidity levels disappeared within weeks

99.97%

More selective reporting by our betters at NPR. This research is not peer reviewed. Stop covering up the real story. Bidens are corrupt.

Lmao we can't hit 70 with freedom fakers crying so much

Fake news. This is false and should be taking down...waiting

I think what saves lives is that hospitals have learned more about covid treatment, people are building their immune systems, the virus is becoming weaker, people are protecting their vulnerable, and different areas are developing herd immunity.

Its not just wearing them. Its also wearing them effectively that reduces transmission ...to be perfectly honest nobody really knows how because they have no experience with them. So let’s be real. At best it’s poor protection . At worst it’s a vehicle for transmission

I personally think people are dying on freedom hills that are ridiculous but I think we all learned nationwide mandates that span subcultures in the US don’t really work well.

And people can go back to Disneyland

Click Bait. “Assumption “

I need to understand why wearing a mask is a big deal? I just don't get it. I realize Americans like their freedom and liberty, but the mask has become the new seatbelt until we don't need to wear it anymore. Just wear the thing. It's NOT a big deal, seriously.

Do you know what they say you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make them drink you can tell him to wear a mask but you can’t force him to so get off trumps case about it you can see where am I ask and he does they were a mask but if they don’t want to what are you gonna d

The public meltdowns over masks show us that anti-masking has nothing to do w. rights & everything to do w. politics.

Yeah..but how many bald eagles would die?!

How many aborted lives could be saved in the same amount of time if 95% of Americans wore condoms?

And maybe some from the flu as well

But Trump says it a hoax to make him look bad.

Like most Americans, I have lost complete faith in the so-called experts. Their positions seem to be based more on politics than science. They are wrong 90% of the time.

DyonDyon12 No one needs to wear gloves? Jus masks that stop spit?

_junky I’ve even heard 80% would work.

We need to do this desperately!

Yes. Mask wearing would save many many lives. You know what else would save lives? Voting! Voting every one of these enabling Republicans out of office immediately. They have shown themselves to be completely unworthy of public office. VoteThemAllOut

If 95% of Americans exercised and didn’t overeat while engaging in a sedentary lifestyle, America wouldn’t be dealing with systemic obesity

Eat a d*ck NPR.

We can't afford both - freedom and safety - in a pandemic time!

US Citizens where ever you are...this guy is all for himself and does not care for you all. Open your eyes and minds and VOTE HIM OUT!!! 83K infected yesterday! He LIED in FEB 2020 and is LYING EVEN NOW on COVID 19

If we applied this logic to all of America's problems we wouldn't have Republicans or Trump.

Masks are the only reminder of the virus. Those wanting to hang onto to power and push fear push the masks. Face coverings can’t prevent the spread of a virus.

I volunteer as the 5%

Wearing a mask on your chin or under your nose is not “wearing a mask”.

Something so simple and harmless could save so many lives

That’s a big ask of stupid people.

Now we know this won’t happen...

Did you read this govkristinoem ?

And, if 95% of Americans could simply do as they are commanded to do, without any critical or original thought, we could accomplish almost anything as an oligarchical plutocracy.

There are whole lot more infected other than people getting tested in hospitals.

That's not what the science shows.

Total bullshit! What study? Plenty of us folks not wearing masks as we go about daily life, and no one says anything. Herd immunity for the US is underway!

People do the best they can I believe

Fake News DEFUND NPR

What is our goal? We need to define our goal before we may plot our course in the fight against Covid.

Dr Fauci thinks that should be mandated to 2022. At least Joe Biden understands that it is unconstitutional. People are sick of it, and Fauci loves being in the spotlight. Economy be damned, mental health, suicides and what is happening with our children? He doesn't care.

agingerssoul Unfortunately there is a large portion of Americans who believe wearing a mask makes you a sheep. That somehow a mask is the government controlling you.

If America had shut down its borders when China quarantined an entire city we would never be in this situation in the first place but thank our trusty leaders to make the call to put our country at risk and causing so many people to die.

We have lost much time due to the science deniers in the trump cult. Hopefully President Biden will be able to get this country moving in the right direction. It seems most Republicans took gym class in high school and not biology.

I wear a mask. What’s your problem?

0% of people who don’t wear masks get infected

Everyone in Portland wears a mask and we’re still at all-time high Covid-19 infection rates.

I’m good with fewer boomers and fatties.

Leftist predictions always fail because they’re losers

Would you be kind enough to put the url of this study.

95% ARE wearing a mask in public. Have been for the last 5-6 months. And yet, you’re still repeating this narrative?

DefundPublicRadio

A question lots of people are struggling with (and nobody is talking about) is what defines “public”. Is going to the mailbox being in public? What about taking your dog out in the suburbs? Seems like dumb questions but would actually be helpful to address.

No it wouldn’t.

The biggest economy with the best education in the world is still debating something third world countries have concluded months back. Africa 🌍 has the lowest infections because they decided to do what is necessary long time ago. This is embarrassing to be honest.

How does a mask stop a .05 micron virus?

Models? Not even a study. That’s embarrassing. No wonder people are losing faith in science and scientists.

You'll post this garbage modeling but won't report on clear evidence of biden taking bribes.

Too bad no one's been telling BlackLivesMatter. They've been out mass gathering for five months now and they are nowhere near 95% compliance.

'And if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle.' - sincerely, MAGA

You can’t get 95% of Americans to care about each other. Once upon a time we could. And more’s the pity.

Ignore the Covid19 hype. Live your life! UnMaskAmerica

No fuckin shit GOP

How many American citizens still believe COVID-19 is real?

I'll be part of that %5 ..........just to be an a**hole

We've known this for MONTHS

Oh well...

We all need to wear a mask and social distance.

wah but i don't wanna wah

Study suggests that NPR should GFY!

imagine thinking a box of 50 masks for 9.99 made in china will protect you from a virus 😂 i'm not saying don't wear a mask but unless its 95% wearing N95 mask this is irrelevant

On Spain they mandated muzzles since July everywhere....'cases rocketed'. Do not you people never learn?

Not with trump denying the virus and holding open rallies with no mask. Won't happen.

Trump speaks of massive fraud due to ignorance like covid 19, voting by mail will never be fraudulent, you have to know the rules, what may be invalidation or invalid vote. THERE CAN BE NO FRAUD.

study based on assumptions

Zzz

Death rate continues to decrease. Take your new normal and shove it in your tote bag

The federal government mandated things during WWII, why can’t it now

Sure.

My body my choice

*number (not amount) :)

Many Americans are too stupid to wear a mask.

Ok

Anybody read this article? I'm no scientist but this is crap. They got data from Facebook surveys. Omg!

The new era. MaskUp covid is not going away.

Won’t happen, people have politicized the mask. They’d rather be dead or kill another person. And if they try to force it , they will go ahead and protests surging the counts even more. Odd thinking. Humans are not the intelligent species folks think they are.
