{quote} Hi regarding your reference article, its claim not not significant has referred to citation 9,10 and 33. if you go to the three articles and go to conclusion, they do mention a reduction of infection using masks and or hand hygiene. The insignificant comes from the p value and small scale, like 22 individual. On the other hand the paper you referred mentioned another 7 studies that concluded with significant reduction of infection. just like trading we go for high probability patterns, the study, although a not significant (>5% chance face...
Here is the article: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article

Here is the rest of the paragraph cut out of the picture;

One study evaluated the use of masks among pilgrims from Australia during the Hajj pilgrimage and reported no major difference in the risk for laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infection in the control or mask group (33). Two studies in university settings assessed the effectiveness of face masks for primary protection by monitoring the incidence of laboratory-confirmed influenza among student hall residents for 5 months (9,10). The overall reduction in ILI or laboratory-confirmed influenza cases in the face mask group was not significant in either studies (9,10). Study designs in the 7 household studies were slightly different: 1 study provided face masks and P2 respirators for household contacts only (34), another study evaluated face mask use as a source control for infected persons only (35), and the remaining studies provided masks for the infected persons as well as their close contacts (11–13,15,17). None of the household studies reported a significant reduction in secondary laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infections in the face mask group (11–13,15,17,34,35). Most studies were underpowered because of limited sample size, and some studies also reported suboptimal adherence in the face mask group.

please go and read the actual articles of reference 33,9,10, for instance

it is a very good point, because it said
”Most studies were underpowered because of limited sample size, and some studies also reported suboptimal adherence in the face mask group.”

the main drawback of too small for effective sample size is insignificance of statistics

* also it is complicated, as mentioned in the article, by the suboptimal adherence. Many of the references are community studies and researchers had little control over how exactly or whether really did the subjects did what was told to do.
In contrast of a controlled environment test, like the TB paper I referred and clinical trials, where the behaviours are monitored.
Some studies referred are more like “how good is a person’s hygiene habit” + “how good is a face mask” study, esp the student dorm one

On the other hand, the number of publications on analytical performance of masks to prevent aerosol spreading is also sizeable. Feel free to look up them by searching “face mask aerosol pubmed”. One of them was shared in my previous posts.

some supports a good barrier and also a minority against. It’s science and always no solid yes or no. Just combined with the nature of viral transmission, the oddes is on the “yes” side

That is quoted in my post you replied to here. But there are other reports available on CDC regarding this matter that cite the studies and have substantial number of participants and the come to the same conclusions; there is no significant reduction in the transference.
Though they all recommend protective measures regardless of outcome, hand and surface cleaning, coughing into a cloth, etc...

Apparently this subject has had some studies for a number of years as far back as 1980's

From all the studies the numbers do not qualify a response for or against but is more opinion leaning.

Then I think the ASTM test guideline is the last place for you to refer and decide to trust or not. Second best would be compare the number of Yes and No publications and read the referenced papers in the review you posted

I personally believe because not only the analytical findings, certification and its requirements, but also actual situations. Hk where I live and many Asian countries gone through SARS are the ones with highest population wearing masks or have laws for it. We are pretty low in vaccination ratio, no drug treatment disclosed, no lock down since very beginning. I think when we live in the second most dense place in the world with only PPE but yet able to contain the COVID now, compare with how miserable we were in SARS before all wore masks after 3 months from start, that is something to do with personal hygiene and respiratory aerosol containment.

Ok I did my best to provide both objective and personal view. The final decision would be you and for yourself only.

But I hope readers would clear a few misconceptions:
1. priority date of the US patent is not the start day
2. virus esp flu and COVID needs constant moisture, such as respiratory fluid in body or as aerosol in air
3. mRNA vaccines do not produce the complete virus

BYW, the corresponding author (Principal investigator) of the review you cited is from HKU! Benjamin!
https://sph.hku.hk/en/Biography/Cowling-Benjamin-John

Ok that recalls me other updates. He is on the side of the consultant virologist Dr Yuen Kwok Yung and advocate PPE.

I think he has changed his mind after analytical study of masks...

Here is more recent publication by Benjamin and his research team

some fact to know before reading: COVID is a RNA virus and it as major marker in current detection methods including diagnostics and environmental monitoring. In contrast of vaccine, detection is mostly targeting the capsid, ie the capsule and at least one site on viral genome (eg orf)

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0843-2
Surgical face masks significantly reduced detection of influenza virus RNA in respiratory droplets and coronavirus RNA in aerosols, with a trend toward reduced detection of coronavirus RNA in respiratory droplets. Our results indicate that surgical face masks could prevent transmission of human coronaviruses and influenza viruses from symptomatic individuals

Yes, like priority date on US patent system being misinterpreted as “start date”

or condensation on glass misunderstood as actual aerosol.

Hello to all! An interesting situation for the trade is developing for the EURUSD on Day pair. As you can see from the blue trend pattern, the price bounced off the 100% HP level, which is more likely to be a reversal for the trend globally. However, just below at 1.10590 is the 100% 1-6 level of the same model, as well as the C level of the pentagram (orange). Often, this pentagram level is reached by price touchdown with a reversal spike. Therefore, at the moment, I expect just such a scenario.
