I’ve still have my x-ray glasses......
I think you should reply to post 32. Vape is a droplet.
why?
Is that an argument to start wearing an APC?
In reading your first two sentences...I am sure that you are talking of those “karens” who want to force masks on everyone all the time. Freedom does have some risks, you know.
People need a visual confirmation to justify the shutting down of the economy. It’s psyops.
“I can see it in the OR for the purpose of reducing drool, snot, spit, and sweat falling onto the patient, but for aerosol prevention, it clearly is a fail.”
I have to ask this question... Because I really don’t know the answer. Isn’t the purpose of a mask to knock down the aerosol distances from 14 something meters help curb aspirants dispersal from getting on everybody’s nose hairs?
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard from various sources, a multitude of sources that the mask is for protecting the other people not for the individual wearing the damn thing.
And I have to say that anybody who still thinks the mask is a preventative measure for the individual wearing it is crazy, and always has been, and that’s why surgical teams wear masks... to keep their germs from getting on the patient through the dispersal of aspirants.
I have no idea what idiot or idiots started this “wearing a mask is a preventative measure for the individual wearing it” And I don’t think I have ever read any official statement stating that at all, it’s always been to reduce the distance of aspirants coming from the wearer’s mouth.
I would hazard to guess if somebody’s not wearing a mask and sneezes right at you you’re probably better off wearing a shield, as in a protective shield that covers your face like we use when working with caustic chems.
Looks like that sheep is in love....lol
Yep, in love with fascism! baaaa baaa baaaaaa!
It's not as big as a respiratory droplet. It's water vapor. It's 6.7 to 7.3 microns in diameter. A cough particle can be up to 450 microns. A drop that size can only travel several feet unless it is re-directed.
That's the point. Did anyone say it stops it all? No. It's a tool (like many of the people on this board who haven't taken the first science class since high school).
Within 2 weeks of Texas implementing the mask order - cases peaked and started to decline - the same thing in Florida and other places. It's a tool - not a cure.
It re-directs the heavier, more viral loaded particles so that they don't travel from someone who is infected (and may not know it) to an uninfected person.
It is NO DIFFERENT than how it works in the ER and keeps you safe from the germs of the surgeon. Funny how it works THERE but won't work for COVID.
Wonder why? - Because there is an agenda.
Listen to the President and stop undermining him.
The wise people also tell us that we should wear a mask or - get this - a face covering. A face covering can be my tee shirt pulled up over my handsome face. Or bandannas like robbers and other criminals used to wear. Or a scarf wrapped around your face. Whatever. Just comply comrades.
Sand some drywall with a mask on, still dusty-white around your nose and mouth.
LOL!
The issue of public health orders to prevent transmission of infectious disease has little to do with depriving someone of freedom.
Dead people don’t practice much freedom do they?
‘proves precisely nothing.’
it proves, quite nicely, that the common mask worn by people to keep the sheeple happy do absolutely nothing to protect those same sheeple...but of course you already know that...
‘Bullshit.’
of course; the notion that masks worn by just about everyone and accepted as palliatives and pacifiers protect anyone from anything is exactly that...
