I had a discussion today with a friend in the medical field. He claims some of his associates suspect COVID-19 can be spread by an infected person passing gas. He said if you're wearing a face mask and you can smell the offending odor, there is a good possibility you could become infected by these microscopic invisible gas particles. He said they're trying to develop a mask for your ass, such as some type of special adult diaper that's been treated to absorb gas and can be worn over or under existing clothing.
Global Warming enthusiasts have already used up the world’s supply of cork trying to prevent oysters from farting.

Underwater shellfish farts produce 10 percent of greenhouse gases released in the Baltic Sea, a new study shows. This could be a concern as aquaculture - and the polluting practices that go along with it - expands.
If you fart in church, will you have to sit in your own pew?
It’s that Mexican food.
Maybe this virus is spread by insects trying to avoid premature bat death. The gas sends them into an escape frenzy.
Yeah, and some FReepers will confide where they bought their ass-masks.
In the case of gases, of which flatulence is composed, the "particles" are molecules, not droplets, many, many times smaller than a virus or cootie.
Note to self: HEPA underwear.
It will filter asbestos, too.
"OOHH!!! I'm all for mandating THAT!"
LMAO!! Perfect!
LMAO!! Perfect!
This is funny because i used the fart example of not only the worthlessness of masks but also the myth that the the virus hangs in the air for hours after an infected person exhales. I used the analogy of farting in church. the smell dissipates as all air born particles do. And if you can’t smell the fart done during the collection at the end of the service, it disproves the virus hanging in the air theory.
WuPew.
Maybe you can find an automatic lighting system that strikes when it hears a fart?
They should get Alyssa Milano to knit some of her charcoal-filtered yarn masks as panties.
Hey: It’s not just the guys...
Methane molecules are 1000x smaller than the virus.
Asserting that an N95 filters a fart is an IQ test.
There is NO MASK certified as effective against bioaerosols.
The ONLY mask rated for biological pathogens is - as opposed to “certified” - merely rated as “meeting CDC guidelines” for Mycobacterium tuberculosis [TB]...a bacterium 20-40x larger than CoV. That’s for 3M’s ‘surgical N95’. Look it up.
If you believe in the “science” of ‘diffusion’, then wear an N95.
But one simple fact flies in the face of N95 effectiveness against viral bioaerosols in the nanometer range:
If N95 was so effective, it would be used in BSL3 laboratories.
They are NOT.
Get exposed, get immune.
It’s your breath.
Silent but deadly.
