Mark is saying that the CDC study, even with a 1 percent daily reduction in cases, is both questionable and still underwhelming.
Thank you Mark… For proving my assumption about your u-turn.
You used to quote this paper all the time, before your misunderstanding of it was pointed out. So now you feel it it has become ‘questionable and underwhelming’?
Have you ever heard of John Maynard Keynes’ great putdown: “When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, Sir?”
It would seem that you prefer to alter which ‘facts’ you believe in, in order to maintain an idée fixe: In this case, that masks are useless. Nice work!
I suppose these are the same kind of mental gymnastics required to keep up your support of (maybe ‘hope in’) Andrea Rossi...
PS I don't know how you are going from a 1 percent daily reduction to a 3700 percent yearly reduction.
Memory failing you Mark? A touch of long covid perhaps?
By gosh you're right, it is daily. My error….
