I hope so. That is what I have been waiting for...plus adequate supply of medicine and a cogent treatment plan.
I am hoping all of these 20-30 year olds spreading this around will help this die down
...just over 10 volts would be required in a cloth mask.

... and where is that continuous voltage differential coming from.
Go back to post #60. You were napping, or shooting spit-balls in H.S. science classes, wern’t you?
Tell me again how brownian motion in a mask will save us from the virus.
That list reads like something you would see in the Koran. Do they address whether angels dancing on the head of a pin have to wear one?
“just over 10 volts would be required ....”
Should be: “... 1.0 volts ....”
"Filtration theory of particulate removing respirators is well understood and has been extensively described.4,5 For particles smaller than 100 nm, diffusion is the dominant removal mechanism. Brownian diffusion is caused by collisions between particles and air molecules. The resulting random motion increases the probability of a particle contacting one of the filter fibers. Filtration efficiency due to Brownian diffusion increases as particle size decreases. Once the particle is collected onto a fiber, it will adhere to the filter fiber due to Van der Waals forces. "

From the edict:
“Individuals who are communicating or seeking to communicate with someone who is hearing impaired or who has another disability, where the ability to see the mouth is essential to communication, are not required to wear a mask; however, individuals should consider using another type of face covering such as a plastic face shield.”
They do address this; I wonder if other states have done so.
Van der Waals force pertains to the molecular or atomic level. It would have no bearing on a virus which is a structure of 100,000 to 150,000 atoms.
Here are the two pertinent paragraphs:
“We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or even 30 minutes). The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.....
It is also clear that masks serve symbolic roles. Masks are not only tools, they are also talismans that may help increase health care workers’ perceived sense of safety, well-being, and trust in their hospitals. Although such reactions may not be strictly logical, we are all subject to fear and anxiety, especially during times of crisis. One might argue that fear and anxiety are better countered with data and education than with a marginally beneficial mask, particularly in light of the worldwide mask shortage, but it is difficult to get clinicians to hear this message in the heat of the current crisis. Expanded masking protocols’ greatest contribution may be to reduce the transmission of anxiety, over and above whatever role they may play in reducing transmission of Covid-19. The potential value of universal masking in giving health care workers the confidence to absorb and implement the more foundational infection-prevention practices described above may be its greatest contribution.”
I think Wolf has said "anybody outdoors must wear a condom" - that's mandatory.
It’s not Rachel; it’s RICKY.
Why would anyone take advice, direction or orders from a mentally deranged governor or an equally deranged man who thinks he is a woman?
Why would anyone accept dictates from Dr. “Dickless”?
Can’t answer that one but the explanation for the sudden surge of “orders” is to create a diversion from the abysmal statistic that 68% of COVID deaths in Pennsylvania have occurred in nursing homes.
The HIGHEST percentage in the nation! NY is second at 49%.
I pretty certain that since they are unable to maintain proper "social distancing" the answer would be, YES.
Of course, you know more about this than 3M.
The mask does not protect the user from the virus. The virus can pass through an N95 mask or simply enter through the eyes.
A mask minimizes the dispersion of particles if a person sneezes/coughs.
You can accomplish the same thing by sneezing/coughing into your hands and then washing them or by sneezing/coughing into your elbow.
There is NO NEED to wear a mask other than to assert control over the people.
If I enter a store and am challenged, I declare that I have a medical condition that prevents me from wearing a mask.
If someone asks me what condition, I state that medical privacy laws (HIPAA) will not allow me to disclose that information and it is illegal for them to demand such information.
Your doctor is full of shit.
The virus can enter through the eyes. A mask is not for the user’s protection.
A mask minimizes the dispersion of particles if the user sneezes/coughs.
Of course, that user is now walking around with an infected mask.
You can minimize the dispersion of particles by sneezing/coughing into your hands or elbow, like we were all taught as children. Wash your hands afterward and you are not walking around with a piece of cloth loaded with contagious material.
