The taste and smell, also known as Anosmia, return within 9 days.

“Can you admit they can lessen the viral load”

Nope. The exacerbate it, actually. Nothing like a petri dish on your face to concentrate disease to ensure your lungs take in a nice helping of virus and bacteria.

There is one researcher out of Indiana University that has success killing the virus on a mask with zinc and something else creating some kind of charge

Dont recall at the moment the other substance

I saw someone selling zinc dotted masks on Etsy trying to cash in on it. I didnt look to see how they were made or details

Interesting, his GF, who I think doesnt live with him, has different symptoms

Might be a factor of their blood type since it plays a role

Also other genetics.

He will, no doubt, being documenting it all on twitter

How many illegals crammed in small living quarters with other family are living in Taiwan, Korea, Japan?

1. Put on your mask of choice - even an N95. 2. Peel an orange. 3. Did you smell the orange? (Yes, you did.) 4. Congratulations, your mask failed to stop an aerosol particle larger than CCP virus.

I have a mask that would probably stop it. I own an auto body shop and use a respirator when I paint. It has a heavy paper filter then a 1 inch thick activated charcoal filter with a one way neoprene exhaust. I have n95 masks in my shop to use when sanding body filler or using lacquer primers. I don't trust the 95s when spraying catalyzed urethane paint.

You are right about the mask hysteria!

Masks are good for people with bad manners relative to coughing sneezing, and respect for personal space (getting too close and talking in a way that I can feel a breeze from their mouth). I went to the store today and did not wear a mask, although it is mandated in my state. Saw other unmasked rebels.

They aren’t just having lower mortality rates, they are having lower infection rates. This in spite of being much more densely populated, and reliant on public transportation.

As of today, the death rate in the U.S. is 5.1%.

Masks only work when everyone wears them, that’s the point.

Have you been to Asia? They all live in small cramped living quarters with multi-generation families. It is vastly denser than most of the US. They also jam into trains which should be superspreading locations.

Due to? But, worldwide, despite the u.n. and who trying real hard, the death rate is still 100%. Nobody makes it out alive. Yet. :-)

I and everyone in my company must wear a mask all the day. I wear a mask all the time except in my home. It’s the law.

Wearing a surgical or cloth mask does not make a damn bit of difference to your O2 levels.

Interesting- i think the other article i read about the Israeli masks earlier stated that they created some kind of a charge in the mask too that traps the virus while antimicrobial annihilates the virus

Yup- found some info on another technology similar to the sonovia masks:

Argaman Technologies, an Israeli textile research company, claims its BioBlocX masks contain cotton and polyester fibers embedded with accelerated copper oxide particles. Similarly to Sonovia’s tech, Argaman says that when virus particles hit the mask, positive ions from the copper attach themselves to the virus and destroy its ability to replicate. The masks also include a layer of a nanofiber membrane that allegedly filters out pathogens.

The electroceutical dressing is currently FDA cleared and commercialized by Vomaris Inc. It is made of polyester fabric printed with alternating circular metal dots of elemental silver and zinc metals that create moisture-activated microcell batteries

6. Wear a mask because it will allow a rioter or Antifa terrorist to blend in to the rest of the population.
