Findings from a case-control investigation of symptomatic outpatients from 11 U.S. health care facilities found that close contact with persons with known COVID-19 or going to locations that offer on-site eating and drinking options were associated with COVID-19 positivity. Adults with positive SARS-CoV-2 test results were approximately twice as likely to have reported dining at a restaurant than were those with negative SARS-CoV-2 test results



Numbers are pretty clear

In control group 74.2% of those without virus wore masks ALWAYS
In infected group 70.6% of those with virus wore masks ALWAYS

14.4% of those with virus wore masks OFTEN
7.2% wore masks SOMETIMES
3.9% wore masks RARELY
3.9% wore masks NEVER
Masks are not doing a whole heck of a lot now are they. But the 6 foot rule seems quite a joke for indoor dining.
As well those who outright refused to wear masks NEVER have no significant increase in infections whatsoever. In any category from family to dining.

Vast majority of cases come from FAMILY or FRIENDS of course since its so rare to have COMMUNITY transmission (9.2%)

Majority of people had no idea they had come in contact with someone who had Covid

There is no reasoning with Tru-Anon people, it really is cult-like

This study has been largely discussed elsewhere. The biggest flaw is that it asked people AFTER they were infected if they wore a mask. Unfortunately, people being people, they will tend to lie and say they were following health guidelines regardless of whether or not they were. Very few will admit they didn't follow doctor recommendations and got sick.

This is just another irrelevant topic. No one "always" wears a mask, and besides, we wear masks to protect others. When we all wear masks then we are all protected. But, nothing is perfect so this insidious virus can sneak by our defenses.

So of course, most people with covid wear masks. Almost everyone, except the foolish nose breathers are wearing masks. Canada is not the USA were I suppose there are more sociopathic jerks who refuse to wear masks.

On a side note - Hey nose breathers ...... pull your mask up and stop being a jerk.
