Except there is plenty of evidence that they do help...

Explaining it only causes more denial.

Ah show me where they significantly slowed the infection rate.

Please explain how such proof could be obtained? Mask mandates are typically imposed at the national level so it's impossible to "prove" what might have happened within a country without a mask mandate. It's also clear that the different strains of the virus have different impacts so, again, rather hard to provide objective analysis by comparing different countries given differing infection rates and lethalities of different strains.

I tend to agree. No minds are going to be changed.

There are quite a number of publications from Danish and German groups that don't show any significant effect and when it does show effect, it's always after other measurements are taken. Here in the Netherlands, we have to wear masks since September, when numbers were growing again. The weeks after that, the infections skyrocketed. Not saying that this was caused by wearing masks, but they didn't slow it down by any means. Only got manageable again after starting a full lockdown in December.

but not I'm discussing again which I promised myself I wouldn't do. As you say, everybody has their mind set, so I'm not bothered to look up the publications as it serves no purpose than to start fights like it did last year.

And there are plenty of publications that say the opposite of your view. But no point in bothering with that either. Everyone has already picked and chosen whats worth believing and what isn't.

The worst part of this pandemic? It has shown how far removed we are as a society of carrying out adult conversations and debate. That's the real reason there is no point to this.

Just learned that one of my friends is in hospital in ICU on oxygen with Covid and already has been for over a week. He's a healthy, young guy, just over 40. It's a wakeup call. I realisethat we were lucky with my son having covid last week and us not getting it.
I hope we didn't loose any forum members from this horrible virus. Stay save guys!

I'm sorry about your friend. More young healthy people are affected by this than many of us want to admit.

I hope he pulls through.
 
Vaccine update.

Had vaccine on Thursday with no ill effects.

2am Friday morning woke up hot like the heating was on with a headache.

8am minor flu symptoms. Had temperature and headache. Took 2 Paracetamol but felt feverish all morning.

1230pm 2 more paracetamol as still had headache and fever.

1900 felt fine. No need for more paracetamol.

Saturday morning sound as a pound. No ill effects but my left arm still feels a bit sore so not badly so. So seem to be over it. Was able to perform my exercise regime without issue.

My recommendation is anyone who has the vaccine is to clear his schedule next day. Take day off work coz it may getcha.
 
Had the Pfizer first shot Jan 13 in left arm. No effect till third day when the arm at shot site began to be sore. Felt like in school when a kid punched your arm. Soreness gone by fifth day, no other noticeable symptoms. Second shot Feb 3 in right arm and nothing to notice at all. When I was contacted about getting vaccinated, asked what type and if MRNA base because of this thread and Marcel's input. When they said Pfizer was MRNA based, i said OK. I am 80 and still no effects from the shots.
 
Yeah but I'm 47 and in good health.

Horse of a man.

I can genuinely see a poor health older guy having issues here. An old guy bud says his older guy buds have taken a few knocks with it.

My issue is that I didn't turn into a mutant or super hero.

Damn comics lied to me!

My County became red zone from midnight
 
Age breakdown of COVID deaths in Italy from start of pandemic through March 10th, 2021:

0-9 years = ..............10
10-19 years = .........14
20-29 years = .........52
30-39 years = .......189
40-49 years = .......835
50-59 years = ...3,219
60-69 years = ...9,373
70-79 years = .24,121
80-89 years = .41,430
90+ years = .....20,365

1.45 times more persons aged 90+ have died (20,365) than have all those aged 0-69 combined (13.692). Those under 60 years of age comprise 70.8% of Italy's population and 71.4% of all virus cases but only 4.3% of the deaths (and three-quarters of those are in the 50-59 age bracket).

Calculated all-case survival/recovery rate by age group:

0-9 years = .....99.993%
10-19 years = 99.995%
20-29 years = 99.994%
30-39 years = 99.986%
40-49 years = 99.951%
50-59 years = 99.410%
60-69 years = 97.279%
70-79 years = 90.560%
80-89 years = 80.225%
90+ years = ....73.250%

See Table 5 on page 24 of the following PDF (in Italian):
COVID-19 epidemic 10th March 2021 national update


Percentage of virus deaths which had no comorbidities according to an examination of 6,707 clinical charts of deceased patients.

16-59 years = ..10.2% (49 out of 479)
60-69 years = ....6.2% (42 out of 676)
70-79 years = ....3.1% (51 out of 1,664)
80+ years = ........1.6% (64 out of 3,888)
