"The Royal Society report, calledCovid-19: examining the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions, reviewed the evidence gathered during the pandemic for six groups of NPIs and their effectiveness in reducing transmission."

"When assessed individually, there was positive – if limited – evidence of transmission reduction from many of the NPIs used in the pandemic, the review found. However, evidence of a positive effect was clear when countries used combinations of NPIs.

Additionally, evidence showed NPIs were most effective when the intensity of transmission was low, supporting their use early in a pandemic and at first sign of resurgence."

"However, as was seen during the pandemic, their use can have adverse personal, educational and economic consequences – making assessment of their effectiveness essential."

"The review found social distancing and lockdowns were the most effective category of NPIs. Stay-at-home orders, physical distancing and restrictions on gathering size were repeatedly found to be associated with significant reduction in Sars-CoV-2 transmission. The more stringent the measures were the greater the effect they had, the experts found.


Additionally, the report found that in school settings, closures and other distancing measures were associated with reduced Covid-19 cases, but the effectiveness varied depending on a range of factors, including adherence and pupils’ ages.

When looking at the use of face masks and mask mandates, studies consistently reported the measures were an effective approach to reduce infection. The evidence further indicates higher-quality respirator masks – such as N95 masks – were more effective than surgical-type masks."

You know how people were REALLY affected?

My GF's mother got covid and had to quarantine through Christmas. Her dad, who lives in the same house and slept in the same bed did not catch your sacred black plague of doom, yet he had to quarantine too. Of course, quarantine means no visitors, so here's this elderly couple who couldn't spend time with their family.

I have a coworker whose father was dying in in a nursing home, but same thing.. no visitors in or out. NOBODY in this story had your sacred black plague of doom, but that didn't change anything... complete lockdown of the facility and she had to say goodbye to her father through a fuking closed window.

And my niece and her husband were so terrified of your sacred black plague of doom that they voluntarily locked themselves down and would go through a decontamination procedure anytime one of them had to venture out into the world and returned home. They had their kids so petrified that their 6yr old daughter cried "I not want to die!"

That's how people were affected.

And all over a virus with a 99.999998% survival rate.

In before J.F.C. semantics and acting stupid

In before J.F.C. says covid causes other bad things than death like bad credit and windshield cracks

Psh. Hardly even a week. More like a couple days of a minor inconvenience.

Branch Covidians really need to grow up and realize that the world doesn’t stop because of a cold. It doesn’t matter how many Covid+ people die in car wrecks that you count as a Covid death. It’s a mild respiratory virus. Grow a set people.

Know what's funny?

Point out to the Ronaholics that their sacred black plague zombie apocalypse virus of DOOM has a 99.99999% rate of survival and watch as their story changes...

"Yeah, well it causes other bad stuff than death! Just STFU and trust teh science!"

...and by science they mean narrative.

Polio has a 99.75% survival rate.

Polio, or poliomyelitis, is a disabling and life-threatening disease caused by the poliovirus. The virus spreads from person to person and can infect a person's spinal cord, causing paralysis (can't move parts of the body).

Disingenuous POS, there is no way you can compare fuking POLIO to your sacred Rona. Not even YOU can stretch that far out.

My comparison was the similar survival rates and proportion of mild infections.

Lold…don’t underestimate him. He can get pretty far out there.




And you forgot another big difference. The polio vaccines were actually effective at preventing infection and spread.

So you aren't opposed to employing mitigation strategies for outbreaks or using vaccines for polio?

"What are the symptoms of polio?
Between 70% and 95% of people infected with poliovirus don’t have symptoms. Of those with symptoms, most people have the mildest form (abortive poliomyelitis) with flu-like and intestinal symptoms. Paralytic polio causes the most serious symptoms, including paralysis."

Well as soon as you, with you "fortune 500" M.D. can tell us which people will fare worse with Covid-19, and which people will be perfectly fine, only then...... can we follow your **perfect treatment and isolation model**.

Until then the entire WORLD GUESES.

BTW, did your bitch friend ever recover? The one that needed meds for one of the weakest variants?

Ok Benny, don't think for yourself. 900 million people dead from the last go-round somehow... even though there's a 99.9999999998% chance of survival lol.

Better get out those masks that you're so proud of and stay home.

He "knows" people who got it and are still messed up, he "knows" someone who got a weak variant and she was bed ridden for two weeks.....

He "knows" someone who got the latest variant and had to take medication....

He "knows" someone who works at a hospital, who told him a straight guy got monkey pox, from bumping into someone at a concert....
