I remember when kids laughed at Dr. Seuss because he was absurd. Of course, I also remember when "Animal Farm" and "1984" were considered warnings and not blueprints.

SAN DIEGO, Calif. — With COVID’s Delta variant becoming the new concern during the pandemic, many areas are continuing to insist that the public use face masks. However, just how many masks will do? According to a recent study, three-layered masks are more effective at preventing the spread of COVID viral particles.
Previous studies have shown masks with three layers are more successful at blocking the passage of small respiratory particles however, recent research indicates they are also better at preventing large particles from breaking down into smaller droplets. This makes them the better option for protection.
In a study using a droplet generator, researchers from the University of California-San Diego obtained images of this phenomenon using a high-speed time-lapse camera. They tested surgical masks with varying layers to see how large droplets pass through each layer. The team, including scientists from the Indian Institute of Science and the University of Toronto, added virus emulating particles (VEPs) to simulate the transference of COVID viral particles.
With the way my glasses fog up, I know most of my breath is sneaking around the edges. Fortunately my beard is anti-viral so any air going though it is purified.

“...when even the MOPP gear is not that great.”
You might have to look at that in reverse. The feds have been saying the mask is the answer. Does that mean the future of NBC in the military is a three deep mask and get rid of the M17’s completely. Toss in a little duct tape and you are invincible. Look out China, we have you now.

“More than ten makes it an assault mask......”
Yeah but by the time you get them off at a meal you’ll starve. Or lose interest not able to get off quickly doing something else.

A plastic bag over head is 100% cure.
Placing a plastic heavy duty garbage bag over your head and securing it with a heavy duty rubber band wrapped tightly enough to provide a perfect seal around your neck prevents (1) 100% protection against the spread of COVID viral droplets (2) 99.97% protection against airborne virions
A plastic bag taped about at the neck would provide the best protection. Three layers of saran wrap would work, too.
Saran Wrap prevents inhalation of virus particles the best.
The Freeper mask brigades will wear them and wag their tails.
Death camps are coming if we don’t just say “no” to all the Fauci/CCP bioweapon virus theater soon.
Don’t forget your booster mask!
