That will also include all of the pathogens you vacuumed up in your

Bull****.

So you are saying they don't stop any pathogens. The ones you
encounter pass through 100%.

That's not entirely accurate. Masks are very effective at stopping
droplets and dust. 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.

Good grief. Well, fortunately it doesn't appear that the virus
can be spread on the Internet or posting on rec.boats. Yet. :-)
