The NIH and CDC require supplied air systems for use near this virus due to its particle size - 0.125 microns - which no filter can stop. The N95 can stop 95% of particles larger than 0.3 microns. Do the math. Surgical masks protect others (not yourself) from droplets and mists, NOT AEROSOLS.

See my previous post for the size of droplets from a cough. Droplets from a sneeze are larger. The mask will stop most of those.

See that gap around your burka next to your nose, dhimini? Yeah, it’s huge. Keep your eyes covered too? COVID attaches to ocular tissues as well.

My disposable mask has very little gap. I also see the air going through the mask. The point is to lower the number of droplets in or out not to stop them all. Nobody is claiming certainly not me, that masks do anything for aerosols.

You can ignore the facts (church choir vs beauty salon) all you want. It doesn't matter to me what you do with or without a mask. I could care less. Nor do I even care about my own virus safety, I care about my health which is much more important. But if you ignore facts, I will be happy to keep pointing them out.

Could you really care less? Why push the point then? There are 325-330 million people in this country. There are hundreds of thousands (maybe millions) with disabilities or underlying health problems who are still very active for whom wearing a mask will never be an option no matter what you post here about its benefits. Wearing a mask for these people not only would be detrimental to their health but downright dangerous. That's the problem with one size fits all government solutions.A governor compelling you to wear a mask should be arrested and jailed for medical malpractice. I think it wise one check with your doctor to make sure you don't have any heart, lung or immune suppression issues that could do you in wearing that mask. But I realize one is free to wear one without that medical advice.
