#1 I doubt this difference was statistically significant at the 0.95

#2 2 to 3 percentage points

which falls well within the margin of 'error'

QUESTION: What about the ## Billions of used masks here in the USA alone?

Aren't they themselves a major Bio-Hazard?

#4 used masks are not a hazard since the virus only lives a few days at most on fabric or paper

#5 I agree, but they are a litter hazard, even less likely to be picked up, because no one knows how long they've been there. Happening in my neighborhood.

#6 A Scott Atlas article last month estimated (with justification) 890,000 excess deaths from the covid prevention actions, nearly doubling the deaths from covid. (It does not incorporate reduced non-covid deaths from covid prevention actions.)

#7 CDC has not covered itself in glory during this last year and it is my humble belief that they can all go fuck themselves.

#8 Messing with the CDC's own data reports as of a few days ago. Go find your own sources.
-- 28,646,679 Americans so far have had COVID-19
-- 7.7 CDC's estimate of the ratio of undiagnosed or undetected American cases of COVID-19 to the known + 28686679 American cases
-- 28,646,679*7.7 = 220,579,428 total measured and presumed cases of COVID-19 among Americans
-- 328,240,000 = 2019 estimate of American population
-- 220579428/328240000 = 67.2% of the American population has already had COVID-19. Duration and nature of this immunity is still uncertain.
-- At some point this coronavirus will run out of Americans who are not immune to it. That point seems to be getting very close.

#10 Wow. Got the study done in 3 days. Even worked through the weekend. Sounds legit.

#11 Sounds like the CDC needs a good spring cleaning like most of the 3 letter agencies. If we are ever able to elect another real president, he should fire the entire freaking federal workforce.
