A DP for the "LOL look at that dummy driving with a mask" crowd, my child has covid and as per doctor we (rest of family) are wearing masks when together. So if you see a moron wearing a mask in a seemingly empty mini van...give me a wave ;)

Presumably it wouldn't be empty.

I will always be entertained, by those driving alone and wearing a mask.

From a quick glance, it seems that the whole article is pointing out the simple contradiction between the first half and second half of this quote without ever actually pointing it out.


“My friend told me that masks only work half the time and that there’s no difference between wearing them and not wearing them.”

Quote
The head of the Merkaz Harav yeshiva in Jerusalem, Rabbi Yaakov Shapira, calls on the citizens of Israel, including members of the religious Zionist community, to obey the guidelines of the Health Ministry, wear masks, maintain social distancing and avoid gatherings.

"We are approaching Simchat Torah which is the culmination of all the festivals," he said. "The purpose of Simchat Torah is to say the verse 'You are instructed to know that the Lord is G-d and there is no other besides Him.'"

"Everything that the world is currently undergoing renovations, all because G-d is alone, he knows when there will be a cure for this plague," he added. "But the Torah requires of you to protect your lives very carefully."

"To celebrate Simchat Torah in the present circumstances, even though it is not easy, we should look at the yeshiva as an example. There are no students now, and this does not bring us any joy, all the moreso during Simchat Torah. But the Torah tells us to be joyful during the holidays. We should rejoice with the Torah, and the Torah should rejoice with us; The Torah will rejoice with us if we keep to the guidelines. And you will guard your lives very carefully.

"Do not get too close to each other, put on the masks," said Rabbi Shapira. "I am not a doctor, but we are commanded in the words of the Torah to do everything so that no one will get sick, and so that whoever does get sick should return to us quickly. So that the people of Israel themselves will return to us soon."

correlation =/= causation
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Keep pounding that drum. Here's the thing about proving precautions work: you can't do it. You can't prove something that didn't happen. Correlation is about as good as you're going to get here.

Not proof. But don't dismiss the results out of hand.

Quite a few posters have used this type of correlation as evidence of causation. I'm glad to see you don't take it at face value. I think there are other things that are more likely to be the cause, COVID+ people walking around like nothing happened is much more likely at fault. To assume lack of masks is always the culprit is very shallow.
