They act as carriers of the virus. For some reason Greg is having a difficult time grasping this. The virus is being carried in the droplets of a sneeze, cough or even talking. How far those droplets can travel is the issue. A mask helps reduce how far they go. I've seen computer models of a person sneezing in a simulated supermarket. The idea that the virus in the droplets only going a few feet was disproved. Some of the droplets were going over to the next isle of the market. Another model showed how far droplets could travel just in normal speech. In many cases it was more than the recommended six feet. If all it takes is wearing an inexpensive mask when in contact with the public to help reduce the spread of this thing, what's the big deal? Every little bit helps as I see it. You are assuming I am coughing and sneezing and I am not. It is like wearing a rubber if you are not having sex and in the case of these masks. reusing the same rubber over and over if you are .... even if it has holes in it. |

Well, fortunately it doesn't appear that the virus can be spread on the Internet or posting on rec.boats. Yet. :-) -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

But the droplets and dust are still on the mask, waiting to be projected across the room with those sneezes everyone seems so afraid of. Since this is really talking about being in a store, the fact that you are only spraying counters and merchandise that is a foot or two in front of you is not that consoling. I understand John carries a bag and he carefully puts his mask in there but that is not what I see happening. People pull it off and shove it in their pocket, with their keys, money or whatever else they carry around. A woman shoving it in her purse is even more disgusting since everything she owns is in that purse. You can wash your hands all you like but if your pocket or purse is infected, you are not accomplishing much. |

You are not only spreading your germs, you are spreading all the ones you vacuumed up in your day. |

You folks still keep assuming I am coughing or sneezing. If I was, I would stay home. "Asymptomatic" means you are not showing any signs of the illness, like coughing or sneezing. If you are 6 feet away, you are also not getting spit on when people talk. |
