Well, all those untrained people in the ‘masks’ countries must be doing something right.

And the idea isn’t to keep you from getting it. It’s to keep you from spreading it as much. And lowering the viral load of public spaces.

lower initial viral load can be the difference between living and dying. It’s the difference between NYC and LA. Sitting next to an infected person for 30 minutes to GCS on the metro north is a WAY bigger exposure than brushing past someone in the imported cheese aisle at Trader Joe’s...

Anything you can do to lower your initial viral load and lower the viral load of your surroundings is a win.

We will suffer, as a country, because too many people think being considerate is the same as being a sheep.

Thank you for your measured response, BA. I really appreciate both your comments and your understanding. I don't consider wearing a mask akin to being a sheep, I just think that in most instances wearing a mask is unnecessary and breeds fear ... which we have far too much of in America since last month.

Cheers! & be well.

Nice post! Just what I was thinking. So now we have a FaceMaskBro to deal with, who is clueless about viral loading.
