Aren't you the one who once said, masks protect the wearer?
So, when people came back with, "then wear yours and don't worry about me" now it's, they protect the UNmasked people?
Its all BS anyway, not one person puts on that mask because they're trying to protect others, the government has gotten people so panicked and paranoid, those people wear those masks for themselves!
There's zero proof of masks helping anyone, lots of people who wear them, have gotten covid, lots of people who haven't worn them, haven't.
Its a, "wear them if you want " situation because, there's no proof of their effectness.
N-95s do not protect anyone. The largest particles of the virus are the same size as the rating for the N-95. The virus on its own will still get through the N-95.
The rating is also time dependent and that is why surgeons toss them every 2 hours.
N-95s are still reliant on the virus being contained in droplets to stop them.
People wonder why they are still getting COVID with a mask = because they do not change them frequently.
From a USA Today article -
“COVID 19 virus particle size is 125 nanometers (0.125 microns); the range is 0.06 microns to .14 microns,” the post said. “The N95 mask filters down to 0.3 microns. So, N95 masks block few, if any, virions (virus particles)"
Although we all got a good laugh at the wall of @OGIS, his process is better than what Fauci and the CDC are telling you.
Wearing the same mask for hours and hours at a time has diminishing result and wearing it driving around in your car is ridiculous.
