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. |

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? |

https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-1342 You've posted this 4-patient study befo A comment: "As the authors acknowledge, their study does NOT evaluate the ability of the masks to shorten the trajectory of droplets emitted during coughing. The function of the mask is to reduce how far aerosol droplets travel during breathing, speaking, singing, sneezing, or coughing. This is the same reason one should cover one’s mouth or nose with your forearm, inside of your elbow, or tissue when sneezing. CDC guidelines advise the wearing of face coverings to "slow the spread of the virus and help people who may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others.” -- Freedom Isn't Free! |
