Do masks really work?

Well.

1. He drinks Miller Lite.   Only retards drink that.

:lol:  

Actually a pretty cool little test.   With masks I'm more concerned about the increased touching of the face.

N95 masks will block 0.3 microns, the virus is 0.1 microns.  

 

It's called science.

But the virus is in droplets much much larger than itself.

The real question is why are we trying to stop the virus? 

245 of the almost 16,000 deaths of people under the age of 25 in the country from Feb thru July have been from Covid.

Seems to me there are much more serious things to worry about our kids than going back to school.

Trying to stop the virus is an emotional argument not a scientific one

Yes they will catch spit.  However the virus airborne will pass through it.

We wear masks here, both the wife and I.  We also toss it out every day, the wife after every use.

Many are walking around weeks with the same mask and I would guess there are more germs/filth on that mask than in a toilet.  I think its better not to wear one unless its disposed of everyday.

The virus is carried in the vapor which is much larger. The virus isn't just flying around all by itself. N95 masks do work very well. Cloth masks maybe 10-20% from the studies I've seen. Simple 3m 8211 dust masks are n95. I wish the government would pick up on that. There cheap enough and readily available now.

I bought a bunch of N95's for the wife since she has a low immune.

It’s funny to see the “we drank from the garden hose” generation complaining about germs.  Maybe those germs are helping give ur immune system a workout so it’s in good shape if Rona pays a visit.
