Can you admit they can lessen the viral load

Let’s say someone with Covid sneezes around me even with my face shield and my mask..which is usually not n95 unless going to the Dr or hospital

I accept that there is no way for me to 100% be sure no virus will get in...especially since I am not an expert of removal of said items and will surely jack something up

Can you admit that the gear will likely lessen the viral load.

depends on multiple factors including how well your mask fits, if any particles end up on your skin or other surfaces that you touch then touch your face etc. Will it lessen the load you are exposed to enough to prevent infection - which is the real question you are asking. doubtful as even fauci and other mo mask nazis say the masks do not prevent the wearer from catching the virus. In addition we do not use viral load to determine infectivity. we use it in infected people to determine how well their immune system or drug therapy is working against their disease. Wear the mask if you want but there is zero evidence it does anything to protect you from catching covid or any other viral illness

“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.
