Comparing the 2 groups? Beats me, would have to ask one of the ID docs. I usually interact with intensivists. Regardless, best practice says to wear a mask. Can’t argue with evidence based medicine.

Well . . . that's why I'm asking for . . . the latest evidence.
A difference of 3 positive cases per 100k between folks who wore a mask vs those who didn't doesn't really seem like we need to be shutting Thanksgiving down over concerns of asymptomatic spread to me.
Do you think opinions on buckling up have changed significantly since then? I'll admit that it's habit for me now and I don't give buckling up a second thought. But I don't view that to be anywhere close to wearing a mask while out in public. I don't see all of the virtue signaling about buckling up like I do for mask wear. I don't see social media warriors blasting people who don't buckle up like I do when they go after folks who might not wear a mask correctly or at all. I'd venture to guess that almost everyone complaining on social media about not having a mask mandate text and drive . . . . it's all about perceived risk and whether we're willing to deal with it.
You can go to the CDC website for research, if interested. They usually have a long list of recent studies that are available. Also, if you have access to a university library, you can get a lot of research without extra cost.
This is not exactly true. The data is 3 cases per 100k between areas with a mask mandate and areas without.
In my opinion the data is flawed because of all the non-compliance in mandated areas and the plethora of crappy masks being used in mandated areas. I’m also assuming the lack of taking other precautions recommended by CDC is equal in both areas.
That's the spirit ! Keep it up !
Too simplistic! During such things as this WE ALL have a responsibility to ONE ANOTHER to do what we can to beat his. Selfishness at it’s finest to do otherwise
