Use of face masks did not impact COVID-19 incidence


 

 

Really?

Who knew?

Oh right. I did.  And I explained the physics. As for the paper:

 Our aim was to compare COVID-19 incidence among 10–12-year-olds between cities with different recommendations on the use of face masks in schools...

"We compared the differences in trends of 14-day incidences between Helsinki and Turku among 10–12-year-olds, and for comparison, also among ages 7–9 and 30–49 by using joinpoint regression. According to our analysis, no additional effect seemed to be gained from this, based on comparisons between the cities and between the age groups of the unvaccinated children (10–12 years versus 7–9 years)."

"no additional effect seemed to be gained."
