Now think about covid mask hygiene.

"The question of the method of coronavirus transmission has been answered.
The virus is encapsulated in the vapors exhaled by the human respiratory system.
These are droplets that protect the virus in the atmosphere and wherever they land.
In the mask environment, the normal electrostatic attraction of the mask fibers, draws the droplets to the fibers where they attach.
There the droplet begins to evaporate.
Once the outer vapor coating evaporates, the virus goes into decomposition. ..."

WRONG !
That's just more B.S. from the left.

Listen to DemcRAT Dr. Anthony Fauci on 06 August 2020 :

" ... if you have a particle that's greater than five micrometers, it's likely going to fall down.
If you have one that's less than five micrometers, then you can get an aerosol (of it} floating,"

And from 12 August 2020, MARY KEKATOS, SENIOR HEALTH REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM reported:

Infectious coronavirus particles were found in air samples taken between seven feet and 16 feet away from the patients (above) "... Aerosol spread occurs when respiratory droplets produce tiny particles, measuring less than five micrometers, which is smaller than a particle of pollen.

These aerosols can be inhaled, and if enough are, have the ability to cause infection.

This method is more dangerous in terms of transmission than respiratory droplets, but can be lessened by avoiding crowded indoor spaces. ...

... One of the patients had an active infection and neither underwent medical procedures that the WHO claims are the primary drivers of aerosol transmission.

What's more, the room had been previously outfitted with safety measures such as six air changes per hour and ultraviolet lights.

Researchers used viable virus aerosol samplers, which enlarged aerosolized virus particles to capture them, and then tested them.

Tests showed that viable virus capable of infection was found in samples collected between seven and 16 feet (two to 4.8 meters) away from patients.

The genome sequence of the virus found in air samples was identical to that from a swab of the patient with the active infection. ...

Several experts say this is clear evidence of the danger of aerosol spread, including Dr Linsey Marr, an engineering professor at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.

'If this isn't a smoking gun, then I don't know what is,' she tweeted last week. ..."

AND DON'T FORGET, ... From We Just Learned Something New And Pretty Scary About Coronavirus:

" ... When air is completely dry, however, the study explains that a 50-micron droplet EVAPORATES within 1.7 seconds.

Terrible analogy.

Wearing a condom protects the wearer.

Wearing a mask increases the wearers risk. It’s stupid. It’s spreading the disease.

That’s like wearing a used condom from a hooker.

I’ll leave it to you.

No. That’s the point. We are unable to change masks after each patient as we should. The grocery store face diapers are worse

[who knows what evil?]

It is interesting how the cases surged with the mandates.

Sure is. Do masks (petri dishes) spread the virus?

[Pajamajan]

bttt

[Mom MD]

I like this example. This j if the mask people are wearing in the grocery stores. Immediately after putting it on cover the outside with chocolate syrup. By the time they leave the store having touched/adjusted the mask repeatedly, where is the chocolate syrup? Now to go further they take the mask off and put it in their pocket/purse/dashbioard etc. By the time they get home where is the chocolate syrup? This is his masks can help spread infection
