[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2288126, member: 41816"] i would be very interested to know where they are getting their projection data, but no time today to go rummaging... The plus or minus mask projections for the United States (on the page to which I linked) show about 40,000 additional deaths if masks are not universally worn. It is going to be very interesting to see what actually happens, and how close those projections are. We won't have long to wait. The projection only goes up to the 1st November. In the UK (according to the Worldometer projections) the potential lives saved are around 4,000, up until the 1st November, when the winter wave is considered a possibility. My own personal view is that I would rather err on the side of caution, especially if one of those 4,000 could be me, or one of my friends or relatives. I simply cannot fathom why anyone would push against masks if even one life could saved. I would still err on the side of caution if we were talking about 4,000 complete strangers - cos I am altruistic like that. It astonishes me that people are willing to risk other people's lives for the sake of putting a piece of cloth over their own mouths, no matter how 'projected' and 'modelled' the figures might be. ed. For clarity. [/QUOTE]
