Let's look at another public health measure masks.

Okay.

A study just came out, they looked at 50 states with their masks, their mandates.

So a comprehensive analysis of 50 states shows greater spread with mask mandates.

Yes, you've read that right.

This was from a website called Rational Ground.

It's kind of a conglomeration collection of researchers and data crunchers.

And let's look at some of the data here.

They basically put an impact graphic not to get too deep in it.

But you see here from May 1st to December 15th, they looked at 50 states for mask mandates.

We calculated it says how many cases per day by population with without masks, what they

found.

The number 17 was the number of cases per day per 100,000 people for states with no

mask mandate in place that led to 41,959 cases a day with no mandate.

With the mask mandate, it was 27 per 100,000 with the mask mandate in place.

That was 62,000, low over 62,000 with the mask mandate in place.

So 20,000 more total with the mask mandate, which is, which is absolutely shocking information.

And you know, we've heard Scott Atlas when he was an advisor.

It's not shocking to me, Jeff, we know because I've been saying this, right?

Nobody taught us how to wear masks.

We're not wearing masks the way you do in an OR where you have somebody else scratch

your face so that you don't touch your face.
