Again stuff is so politicized right now it's hard to know what to believe. Unless there is some form of qualifier, such as cases per " X" amount, and also a time frame attached, the information can be twisted in 5 different ways.

There has to be a balance.
This is an example of people *not* wearing masks, right?
The manipulation of data to promote an agenda on any side of this is just not helpful.The lack of testing certainly was a problem. And so is the BS ‘positivity’ rate. I mean if you test everybody, every week, positivity would drop to the floor. That’s why I have a problem with that stat. Useless. Just like your example.
no.This is an example of people *not* wearing masks, right?
Just a casual observation, but I tried a new mask on, ( in IMSA we have to wear masks at all times, then on the planes, and airports, and depending the state, everyplace but the vehicle and hotel room) and i broke out like a 12 year old kid, not sure what the mask was made of, but my skin completely reacted with it, I still have the scars. We also seem to all get sinus infections and sore throats by the time we get home. I ditch the masks at every opportunity, I understand the reason for them, but they just can't be that healthy, I started using the " sleeves", I'm not sure they do anything except meet the criteria, and I swap them out every day at the track.

No offense taken, but thanks for your consideration.Sorry. Just re-read my response to you. Totally didn’t mean it that way. Really.
I mean, ‘it is easily misleading, like your examples imply.’
Seriously, my apologies for how that reads.
Those are unfortunate and real issues, but didn’t you wear respirators as a fireman?
I’ve been trained in and for civilian life use PPE often enough to be comfortable with it. OSHA, hazmat, clean room experience in the past for work...paint and chemical stuff for personal. So not a problem for me at all.
Respirators have been long gone in the fire service, everything is Self Contained Breathing Apparatus now, the only time you see a respirator is possibly on a medical call and they are disposable, even the SCBA units are assigned per person and there is a required cleaning process for them.
I'll agree to that.I’m just surprised that anyone that’s had to wear any sort of filter/mask/breathing apparatus would have issues both in choice and use.
Or I understand the opposition from people who have never worn anything like that in the past. At least somewhat more.
I restocked on respirators since I had like 2 left when the stupid CDC and WHO were saying ‘no need’ or ‘don’t wear’ them. That was on 1/27. So I’m not wearing them because I’m following their recommendation. It’s because I’m educated a bit on virology/microbiology.
I think another sad truth is that there are sheep on both sides of this issue.
