They were wrong. At the time it was believed that most transmission was via surfaces, but that turned out to be very rare. (IIRC, 1 case in 1000 in a study from Ireland)

Cloth masks do work. Anything that can catch droplets works.

What he said is still right though, with important caveats.


"there is no evidence to suggest that wearing cloth face masks amongst people who are well reduces the spread of the virus"


Key point is the bold. Most people who understand what benefit they (do/may) have know that the point is to reduce the viral load emitted from someone who has the virus.


Someone who doesn't have the virus doesn't have any viral load to reduce, so there is no benefit or spread reduction from them wearing the mask.



Someone who is well, in general, is unlikely to have the virus - and that is the key caveat, since we know (and have since the early days from Italy) that people can test positive for the virus without having symptoms, and you would class those as being well. So the key point there would depend on the viral load of someone who has covid-19 without any symptoms and how much this would be transmitted by them having no symptoms (e.g. if they breathe or vocalise) as opposed to how much is transmitted if they cough, sneeze etc.



Whitty and Van Tam are consultant professors of virology, and especially the latter who is of Far East origin, would both presumably be aware of the mask-wearing culture which is more obvious there. They wouldn't be wrong, and still aren't. Also what Jenny Harries said about them causing potentially more harm than good is still true with people reusing masks, touching them, putting them round their chins, taking them off and not putting them somewhere clean, all of this can still cause infection in yourself and in others.


The issue with masks is a mechanical one though. If the gaps between your mask fibres are more of the same magnitude as the particles you're trying to stop, they have more chance of doing so. A weak mask will of course stop the largest droplets but the smallest ones and the aerosols as well as "naked" virus will still pass easily. I guess it depends how effective this needs to be.

Again you’re doing the extremely common anti-mask trait of setting the bar at 100% effective.

I fail to see how you come to the conclusion that the only transmission would be within households if pubs and restaurants were venues people could freely mix with other households (and nightclubs) for extended periods without masks. And of course schools. It’s simply not credible to claim this was achievable at all under that scenario let alone “in a matter of days”.
Then being the pedant you are you would be able to link to an expert peer reviewed study on the effectiveness of cloth masks.

To my limited knowledge I don't know of one although there are many for the N95 mask.

Boris says they work, so that's good enough for me.

Condoms aren't 100% effective, but better than nothing

That does not say they were wrong and is not yet peer reviewed it is a pre-print publication and even states (my bold).

You highlight an important point though.


"Vaccination rates are very high" - What does this exactly equate to, both in terms of 1st/2nd doses and boosters (the latter clearly wasn't a thought if it wasn't recent study). One would expect a reputable scientific study to put some quantification on that.


"tight fitting masks and respirators will be necessary" - So who considers the cloth nonsense we're using to be in this category?


Given that the gov site shows the following as of tonight:
90.6% of 12+ had a 1st dose
83.3% 2nd dose
63.3% Booster or 3rd dose


You would probably consider this to be a high level of vaccination, especially considering a lot of kids' parents probably don't consider the vaccination to be of benefit to them compared to other risks (heart inflammation especially in younger sporty teen lads, for example), and that a fair amount of this roll out is being done via schools for safeguarding reasons, that it may for such reasons not reach the kids as easily as it is right now for an adult to be jabbed.


It also reads on as a single thing to me - when you're vaccinated enough, you don't need masks. Which makes sense, because even if the protection is partial, the immunity from vaccination still makes it less likely for a person to have covid and spread the virus which is also what masks try and reduce.

Suffice to say, I would trust professional virologists, medics etc such as JVT, Whitty, Harries, Hopkins, and the likes of Meaghan Kall working for UKHSA, ahead of non-peer reviewed research, which may be right, but in reality can say anything.

He wasn't theirs to begin with.


He is a professor of medicine at the university.


They let him go on secondment to the DCMO role, which was time-limited.


The university still employs him and wants him to take up a new role, which is a senior position within the establishment, and either ended the secondment early, or requested this at the end of it.


Nothing sinister.

I can make any silly point I wish this evening and none so ridiculous as your claim that if mask wearing was effective we should have reduced Covid spread to within households at the same time pubs and restaurants were open with households mixing maskless.

Right.


So let's simply entertain the unproven and somewhat bizarre hypothesis that wearing a hankie over your face somehow stops covid, which is basically what you're saying.


Let this be true for a split second. Reality knows it isn't but that never enters into your agenda.


So anywhere where mask wearing is mandated doesn't spread covid as the masks stop covid.


So covid can't spread in any shops, museums, places of worship, hospitals, public transport, cinemas, art galleries, schools, concert halls... etc etc



Basically anywhere but pubs, restaurants, nightclubs, households, outside


So what's the plan then?


Given that as you said you can't eat or drink with a mask on, are you saying to close pubs and restaurants again? Even though SAGE modelling proved last winter they were not a location where disease spread? Or will you go back to the absurdity of wearing a mask to and from the table but taking it off when sat down, as though this has any impact?


Are you going to ban household mixing given that in the absence of other vectors and the mask mandate that this is clearly where the virus is spreading? And how are you going to put the population under surveillance to ensure this doesn't happen?

Let's see your solution. I see plenty of criticism from you but no answers.

That comment has some merit but do you think the general masks shortage was the same as the N95 mask shortage? One of the NHS essentials in short supply World wide was N95 masks.

China in the beginning possibly?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...us-crisis.html

Meanwhile I still await the peer review data on effective anti covid effectiveness of cloth masks.

Just as an aside, could the toilet roll rush due to be the shortage of masks and people thoght 2 layer of 4 ply was better than one?

In other news, the self-isolation has now gone down to 5 days.

Quote:
The minimum self-isolation period for people testing positive for Covid-19 in England has been cut to five full days.

The quarantine period has been reduced after a review of the medical evidence, to help ease staff shortages across the economy.

But people will need to produce negative lateral flow tests on days five and six of their isolation.
