Respiratory droplets (pictured in the graphic) only stay in the air for a few seconds. Yes, some droplets will be forced more upwards, but they’ll still land quickly. You’re talking an extra couple of seconds in the air.
But that’s not the point. Wearing a properly made, properly worn mask reduces both the volume and the range of the droplets that enable SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Volume is a huge component of this. Reducing it is extremely helpful.
I live in Arkansas.
On July 20, the first day of mask mandate, we had 699 cases.
Two weeks later (when the cases should have started dropping) we had 787 cases
On September 19th, 2 months later, we have 803 cases.
IF masks worked 50% of the time and only 50% of the people wore masks, the number of cases would have dropped by somewhere between 10% and 25% right?
The reality is more like 90-99% wore masks during that time and the numbers didn't drop by 10 to 25% -— and they really should have dropped by more.
Masks don't work.
I've heard ‘It's common sense’ - but it isn't. The data disproves the efficacy of wearing masks to combat Covid 19.
On the other side of ‘common sense’ - if you aren't changing your mask routinely (at least every 90 minutes), you are creating a breeding ground for all kinds of nasty right next to your mouth.
BTW - did you even watch the video?
