@EnnalsEthan What you missed in your article regarding masks is the most critical oversight in all of Covid. Current mitigation efforts are solely for droplet - not airborne - and don’t address that masks make Covid MORE airborne during a plosive force generating event. 1/ https://twitter.com/mailonline/status/1340594061556797442
There’s a reason surgical masks are expressly not for airborne contagion mitigation per OSHA and other governing agencies. This is general respiration. Notice anything?
How about here, in an N95? See anything concerning?
Basic math tells you why.
4-.06=3.94
4-1.4=2.6
That’s the space remaining around aerosolized Covid particles through the exhale opening size in the best commercially available masks.
See the problem?
It increases atmospheric viral load into the respiratory range during a plosive force generating event within a mask. That’s generally a cough, sneeze, or scream, among a few others. PFGEs pressurize exhale in an act of forced filtration, aerosolizing larger particulates.
These tiny particulates emitted are so small, they do not respond predictably to gravity, and remain aloft for extended periods, directed by airflow.
