Potentially? That's a knee-slapper! Only one in a hundred people are properly fitting a clean mask and refrain from touching it.
The other 99 are wearing the respiratory equivalent of a dirty diaper on their faces.
My petite, 60-something, female cousin showed up to a family funeral a few weeks back wearing a disposable mask that was so ridiculously large on her face I almost burst out laughing when I saw it.
It was a pale yellow color, and if you stood to one side you could look through the cheek gap and watch her lips move while she talked. That’s protection!
Her husband had a standard blue disposable mask that was better fitted, but his bushy beard was sticking out all around it.
Anyone know how many microns a beard is rated to filter?
What a pathetic, sad comedy we’re enduring.
“Only one in a hundred people are properly fitting a clean mask and refrain from touching it.”
None of these blue masks everyone wears can be fitted. Leak all the way around.
And if they don’t actually leak, they still cannot stop a virus.
