Good grief Greg. You are *still* hung up on *blocking* the virus
with a cloth or non-N-95 mask.

That is *not* the purpose of wearing a mask ... homemade or
of the non-surgical type.

"coughing into a petri dish"? Of course the virus will
land there.

Have the person holding the petri dish stand 6-10 feet
away from the person coughing. Test wearing a mask
and without a mask. Let us know the results.



The point is they don't know and with no standards on what a "mask"
is, they will never know. If a real surgical mask won't work (in the
study) how in the hell is one of those fishermen's sun block things
doing anything?



Define "work".

What exactly is a home-made or non-surgical mask supposed to do?

It is to provide others with an emotional reaction. He is a good guy he
has something covering his mouth, he cares.
