Respirators are to treat the air...to clean it, make sure the lungs get clean air.

The problem with respirators and 3M 95 masks and similar is that they filter the air INTO the lungs of the wearer

however, there is a one way check valve on the air exit

so if the wearer has is infected with coronavirus

such as minor symptoms

the exhaled air from the wearer will contain a plume of coronavirus particles.

Have we determined this thing can be aerosolized? That it can pass through the air with no snot or poo to carry it? I didn’t think that was the case. I thought you had to touch it and bring it to your mouth, or inhale spray coming from a cough or a sneeze.
