You seem to be a mask loving Karen

Please do continue to serve your master, the father of lies but don’t even think of gaslighting me for calling out that masks are utter filth

You should read the links in what you post.

The first one (link from your article) I followed states this:
“There is some evidence to support the wearing of masks or respirators during illness to protect others, and public health emphasis on mask wearing during illness may help to reduce influenza virus transmission”

Next time you go in for surgery be sure to insist the doctor does not wear one. Thanks.

Thanks for the link.

I wondered what the mechanism could be that made viruses less contagious in high humidity. Since viruses survive being in body fluids I had trouble seeing how humidity could hurt them. Instead, I imagined that the opposite might be true; that is, lack of a protective water bubble might expose them to ultraviolet light or some such thing.

The article claims that "sedimentation" is the mechanism that reduces contagion in high humidity. The effect is that viruses trapped in aerosol particles will fall to the ground in high humidity, but drier conditions allow the particles to reduce in size due to evaporation until they are small enough not to be affected by gravity.

Very interesting.
