The doctor is a dumass. If he doesn’t know that the virus is transported by water droplets well in the range of all the masks for filtration, he is a commie, Chinese misinformation subversive.
No, you’re the dumbass. A particle that size is an AEROSOL. Learn some basic physics before spouting off, go look up exactly what those sizes are in inches.
Then explain how a chain link fence stops mosquitoes from flying thru.
Nobody is saying the virus isn’t spread through droplets anyway, it’s whether masks stop the spread and there is more to it than just stopping droplets. Touching masks and your face is problematic and spreads it even more.
“If he doesn’t know that the virus is transported by water droplets well in the range of all the masks for filtration,”
No, he is saying that the droplets collect on the mask and are spread by contact by touching, which, if you will notice, most people can’t keep their hands off their masks, or, when the droplets are collected on the mask and dry, the virus is breathed in.
And those blue thin masks we all wear are worthless, but we are in compliance.
Are you protecting your eyes from these water droplets?
Nope.
Masks are for girlie men.
No. He actually understands masks. First if all the virus is airborne. Second unless a mask is an N95 and properly fit tested the airflow around the sides and top of the mask stop nothing. Third the mask is saturated with exhaled moisture in about 20 minutes and it’s limited barrier to water droplets is lost. 4th a mask is meant to be worn a short period of time the. discarded not used over and over for a month. 5th once you touch it you are spreading whatever is in the mask. There is someone dumb and ignorant here and it ain’t the surgeon
Never gets old.
Bwahahahaha
Living in Washington has turned your brain to mush
Droplet transmission occurs when someone sneezes or coughs
Otherwise the transmission is aerosolized particles which are too small for a mask.
In other words, asymptomatic spread is not suppressed by wearing a mask.
YOU are the dumbass
Here's a simple test for you Jon, put your mask on then hold a mirror up to the mask and exhale. If the mirror fogs up then your mask is worthless......
You are wrong and you are close to earning the moniker you have assigned the surgeon.
The water/mucoid droplets dry on mask surfaces and then particles flake off releasing said viral particles thru anyway. Surgical masks are only good for about 2 hours for the good things they do do and then need to be replaced. N95 masks can go longer and can be used and reused for up to 24 hours assuming one hasn’t contaminated the inside of the mask from the outside. Not all covid virii are contained in droplets but some are aerosolized when breathing or coughing so the pass thru can occur directly. The seals are never truly air tight and the droplets/particles blow out the tops and bottoms of the masks anyway!
The only effective strategy is simple hand washing and smart social distancing and to quarantine oneself when one is sick. Taking some zinc and quercetin or HCQ daily(if one can get it) might be helpful in warding off an attack or squashing Covid early.
Perhaps a well placed child is needed to shame the rest of us into realizing that the emperor is truly naked.

Where did you get your medical degree?
Uh ... I kind of think someone who has been a DOCTOR for 30 years knows a teeny bit more than you do. Boy, talk about "offal for cerebral matter" ....
Oh, and it's "dumbass", not "dumass".
“The doctor is a dumass.”
Only a dumbass would spell it dumass. (And you want to be our latex salesman — uh ... medical expert.)
