Wrong. Masks work. The science behind the use of masks is conclusive. Even a simple double-layered piece of cotton sheet, "worn badly", stops 96% of disease-carrying microdroplets in cough, sneeze or breath.
What law of aerodynamics did that microdroplet or airborne virus particle study to deposit itself on the mask media instead of follow the path of lower resistance around the mask?
A sense of virus altruism?
I have worked in an industry for 30 years that involves protection from airborne particulate material. Surgical wal-mart style cotton masks are not allowed on site. Full face respirators with a semi-rigid seal that can pass a quantitative fit test and a negative pressure test, do work.
You are fooling yourself if you think a cotton sheet mask works in any real sense except security theater. Go buy some more toilet paper.
Because it DOESN’T work, any of it. It is pure b.s. fear-mongering crap. Inflated, bogus “death tolls”, hyping up the deaths as though 83-year old people don’t die of assorted viruses every damned day. The difference is that now, our “leaders” are trying to convince everyone that they are directly responsible for keeping everyone else alive by submitting to all of this ridiculous crap.
”15 days to flatten the curve” became “Until we say it’s “safe”, and “Until there’s a vaccine” and “Until there are no new cases” or whatever. How long will it take for people like you to conclude that you are being deceived? And don’t bother accusing me of being selfish or callous - that’s not an argument.
Actually adjusting your mask all day puts the virus on your face and eventually your nose and eyes where it enters the body.
‘Even a simple double-layered piece of cotton sheet, “worn badly”, stops 96% of disease-carrying microdroplets in cough, sneeze or breath.’
I don’t buy your 96%, but be that as it may, for coughing and sneezing yes your right...but you’re wrong an thinking that normal breathing poses any infection risk to people that are several feet away from you...stop with the nonsense...
