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.

Just don't stand next to people who are coughing.

Or talking, or singing, or breathing. Right?



That is what the 6 feet is all about.


Right! You are catching on! :-)

The recommendation and in some cases *requirement* to wear a
mask of some type is if you *cannot* maintain at least 6 feet
of social distancing.

I don't have any problem maintaining the 6 feet, and then some as a
rule. I am certainly not standing around in a crowd.
