>You are lying, you know you are lying, and you keep lying
I am not. You are being overly passionate and stating things are obvious facts without sufficient data. Even the prevalence of asymptomatic spreading is unclear right now.
>And you can't ignore the context and the conclusion of the study and cherry pick half sentences
I didn't ignore it, a studies recommendation is meaningless without the experimental results. I commented on the results. Similarly, you don't need the part I omitted to say...
>in the context of a disease with asymptomatic spread, the requirement translates to everyone.
This is not how studies work. You can't use this to assume long term use of masks by those without symptoms is beneficial. That kind of use may have unaccounted risks.
>And for the nth time, mask isn't a substitute for hygiene and social distancing (which apparently is your faulty understanding because you keep bringing it up),
I have no idea what part of my last post you think brought this up, the quotes from the studies? At no point have I tried to claim masks were a substitute for hygiene or social distancing, I don't know what led you to that idea.
>What part of this is so hard to understand?
The part where you attack something I didn't say is confusing.
>--but also tell them that US discourage their people from using masks and has an infection spread rate of 35% with over 30000 infected people and nearly 400 deaths in a shorter timespan.
It's a bit hard to talk with someone who accuses me of "cherry picking" data and then makes these random comparisons that ignore most of the world and any other potential factors.
>The last thing I am going to say to you is: you are a disgrace and a harmful element to your society, to this world,
All for following the recommendations of organizations like the WHO. Have a nice day, I hope you are fortunate enough to stay healthy, and remember to properly dispose of your masks after use.
