Good observation. The largest virus ever discovered (2) were around .75 microns and most viruses are less than .5 microns. Most of the quacks at NIH, CDC, Surgeon General and FDA drown you in a lot of word salad and misleading scientific facts. I doubt that you will see a bunch of scientists running around in N95 masks in real research facilities with dangerous pathogens.... Bio-suits and masks with independent air sources.
No - it’s like a parachute and everyone has to be wearing one 🤪
Yes, pet leftists can be entertaining.
I kind missed MurryMom when she finally met her demise just because it was fun to watch her post crazy stuff and see the reactions.

Hi.
Long time ago Jim put out statistics...no, I can’t remember exactly, but stated that about 8-10 percent of the forum contained liberals, progressives, democrats and socialists.
And 50% of them were journalist, media figures and bots/trolls.
That’s about 50k people.

If everyone is wearing N95s, can we go back to smoking in public places?
LOL!
I apologize for reading the thread.

Try to keep up. As of right now, people can breathe freely in airports and on most, if not all, airplanes.
It’s the mask-lovers like you, Biden and Fauci (is that you in Post 77?) who want to impose your fears and fetishes on everyone else.
You’re at complete liberty to stay off of airplanes if the sight of people breathing freely frightens you. 😏
Cuck muzzles are just a talisman to identify the “good” “people” who obey Massa Government’s infallible edicts like the word of the Almighty. They are a symbol of pathetic weakness.
Thank you for that information. So a typical surgical mask gives one 30 minutes of time. Those are the loose fitting paper masks with the ear loops. No doubt an N95 (properly worn, no beard, etc.) would give one a longer amount of time.
Even if an N95 gave you an hour....not really much time in real life....good enough for a doctor to pop in and examine an infected patient. Also note that that was a modelling study, we know real life studies that are randomized and controlled show that even surgical masks don’t stop viruses in health care workers....N95’s are better but half the studies show they don’t work either.

• COVID-19 is transmitted, at least in indoor settings, not only by droplets but also by smaller aerosols. However, due to their large pore size and poor fit, most masks cannot filter out aerosols (Clin Inf Dis. 2020;71:2311–2313). Over 90% of aerosols penetrate or bypass the standard surgical mask and fill a medium-sized room within minutes.
Well, here’s the thing about that. There is no longer a mandate, so we fly freely without a mask.
Second, even when the mandate was in place, I only wore the mask about 30% of the time I spent in the airport and on the plane.
Holding a bottle of water or a soda was enough to get the mask police off your back in the terminal, or just pop over to a restaurant or bar near your gate, and voilà, no mask requirement.
On the plane, amazingly enough, once the pretzels, meals (if in First), and soda cart was brought around, no more mask requirement.
And for the rare moments when I was required to wear one, an UnMask worked nicely. It’s a mesh mask that allows one to breath freely, but is unrecognizable as a fake mask (or at least, not one flight attendant or TSA rep has asked me about it for 100k miles between 2021 and 2022).
So, your dumb rules were easily circumvented the first time, and will be again should they appear again, unlikely as that might be.
Flying without cigarette smoke was a blessing for those with nasal issues and breathing problems, as it is too with no more mask mandates. The mask mandate was always a stupid rule and every intelligent person saw it for what it was.
I think you need to rethink your assumptions here. There is no free 30 min for virus particles.
PS The point is we have been living with viruses as long as there have been humans. We do not run screaming from them or go around in bubbles. 99.9% survivable just like many of the other viruses we coexist with.
People that go off the deep end get the complications & bacterial infections from rebreathing their own concentrated bacteria and from the moist conditions caused by masks. Have you missed those articles about pneumonia & meningitis?
‘I have no idea why a leftist is being tolerated here, but it’s not my forum.’
shouldn’t any viewpoint be tolerable to a forum of rational thinkers...?
‘IOW, they don’t have to wear the masks while travelling so why not make those who travel wear a mask?’
maybe you should try that sentence over again...
‘You’re at complete liberty to stay off airplanes.’
and you’ve just won the million dollar prize for missing the entire point of a thread...
Vaccine trolls left the site last year as far as I can tell. There are still at least 2 or 3 mask trolls still around.

It’s just that there are so few places we can go without you loudmouth liberals blasting your stupidity all over the place.
But go ahead. There’s some balance in the air today with all of those liberal tears soaking Twitter. Liberal tears smell kind of like pee, but it’s fun watching them have their little tantrums over there.
A person might say that masks may not stop aerosols but this doesn’t mean masks did nothing. Well, multiple real-world randomized clinical trials show us that masks do not significantly stop the transmission of viruses. These studies are then backed up by meta-analyses (the highest form of medical evidence) by the most highly respected sources we have (Chochrane reviews).
ANALOGY: Wearing water-resistant pants in a rainstorm may keep you dry for 5 minutes but in real life you are out there for more than 5 minutes and thus those pants did not stop you from getting wet and cold.
