Its also funny that it doesn't matter what the mask is made out of. Old t-shirts, grandma's curtains, chinese paper masks, doesn't matter.

The bandana I picked up at a motorcycle rally 20 years ago has the same properties as a paper surgical mask or an N95. Amazing!

Because it's not about viral contamination. It's about submission and control. Get people scared enough and they'll do whatever you say.

No, it doesn't. Who is making that claim here?

That is the official guidance from the state. "Any cloth covering".

"Here" as in this thread.

"Here" as in this thread.

"Here" as in NYS.

There are people actually wearing knitted or crocheted masks, and they are in full compliance with the NYS directives.

Apparently the "droplets" they are concerned about are .30 cal or larger.

For all those with a capacity to learn, here’s a study done that debunks the BS said here about droplets from a naked mouth traveling the same distance as with a mask. They tested a bandana, a cloth mask, and a N95. The study was done by Florida Atlantic University’s. Coincidentally, it mirrors what the CDC and WHO say about masks reducing droplet travel. It also mirrors the droplet study on petri dishes that I posted earlier where they tested droplets at distance with different masks on.

But. Hey. Let’s believe the Scientists here on NYGUNFORUM. The ones that post Facebook memes.

Seeing is Believing: Effectiveness of Facemasks

FAU College of Engineering and Computer Science researchers use flow visualization to qualitatively test social distancing and the efficacy of facemasks in obstructing respiratory droplets.

I keep saying that i'm gonna make a window screen mask. I just gotta stop being lazy and do it.

All the good enough, per Monkeyface.

Effective at 8 p.m. on Friday, April 17, 2020 any individual who is over age two and able to medically tolerate a face-covering shall be required to cover their nose and mouth with a mask or cloth face-covering when in a public place and unable to maintain, or when not maintaining, social distance.

UW-Madison coughing visualization illustrates the benefits of wearing a good mask

And here’s yet another study conducted by Thorax which is one of the world's leading respiratory medicine journals, publishing clinical and experimental research articles on respiratory medicine, paediatrics, immunology, pharmacology, pathology, and surgery.

Same result with cloth masks.

Great, now show it breathing normally for 5 mins.

You don't seem to understand, stopping a single cough is not the same as stopping the virus from floating around in the air.

Think of it this way. You can make your garden hose shoot water a lot farther by putting your thumb on the end. But you won't change the size of the puddle it makes in the yard after letting it run for an hour by doing that at all.

 

[Marine Cpl]

In your water hose analogy, if I put my thumb on it (no mask) as you are passing by, I will hit you with the water spray. (You inhale it) If I do not put my thumb on it (mask), the spray doesn’t hit you as you walk by. (You do not inhale it)

Obviously if we are on top of one another in a concert, that doesn’t matter. That is why it works in conjunction with distancing.

You are being deliberately ignorant for your own reasons.

Ok, I'll grant you that your mask will help in the very limited circumstance where you happen to cough or sneeze as we are passing by walking opposite directions on the street assuming you wouldn't have the decency to cover your mouth while doing so like a normal human being.

But in virtually every other case, it's useless.

And the aerosolized particles which are much much smaller than the solid droplets still escape through and around the mask and can circulate in the air for an extended period of time. It's an invisible cloud.

Even if that was the only circumstance that it limits the spread, it still limits the spread. That circumstance applies in True Value on aisle 6 as well as you are walking by.

I have read other reports as well that although not 100 percent effective, wearing a cotton or surgical can still give you a 20 percent effectiveness rating in blocking you from inhaling a droplet depending on the amount of layers the mask is made from, the size of the droplet, and where it lands on the mask.

I can believe 20%.

So, that means you catch Covid in August instead of July then, right ?

That's the point. The virus doesn't go away until enough people have had it. Even truly effective masks can only delay the inevitable.

 

[Darth]

The masks don't protect you.

WELL THEY AREN'T FOR YOU. THEY ARE FOR OTHERS! MINE PROTECTS YOU, YOURS PROTECTS ME!

I'm not sick, so you don't need protection from me.

YOU MIGHT BE ASYMPTOMATIC! YOUR MASK PROTECTS ME, IT'S NOT FOR THE WEARER! WATCH THIS VIDEO OF A PERSON SPITTING WEARING ONE!

I'm not spitting.

LET ME DESCRIBE IT AS A PAIR OF PANTS BEING PEED IN.

I'm not peeing on people.

WATCH THIS VIDEO OF HOW A COUGH TRAVLES!

I'm not coughing.

LOOK, IT LIMITS STUFF GOING OUT!

So it's a one way valve in them? Can you describe this physics defying phenomenon?

WELL THEY TRAP MOST OF THE MOISTURE!

So that condensation that forms INSTANTLY when you have glasses on isn't from the moisture just leaving the mask instantly?

BUT THAT'S DIFFERENT!

How is it different?

Why did they give the black mannequin the 'rona? That sounds like some kind of racist professor!

I did a similar "study" with a Barbie doll, a whoopee cushion and and some 3 ply Charmin. The results I observed were totally opposite though.

Got nothin'.

PS...That wasn't a "study". It was a party trick designed to forward a preconceived opinion, not to test a theory.

PSS... Do you think there's a switch on the diverse dummy to switch from blow to suck? Asking for a friend.

 

[Chevusa]

People in Asia have been wearing masks for decades. Almost the total population of China wears them.

The virus started in China.

If the masks worked to prevent spread, why did everyone over there get it?

That is true and I agree with you that many need to be infected for the herd immunity. Either that or a vaccine.

However, I do not want to volunteer to get infected. I will most likely survive it but my parents in their late 80’s will not. My wife may not as well since her immune system sucks and she has asthma.

I also do not want to be potentially bedridden for weeks like my cousin’s father was. To this day, he still feels it due to the COPD he developed from it.

Not everyone wears a mask. You watch too much television. Trust me. I have been there. Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia. Thailand, the Philippines, and Okinawa.

 

[GOPerfect]

If all of the droplets are contained in a mask, then why do the malls have to install new air filtration in their heating and air conditioning systems?

WTF is wrong with you? Are you stupid?

They have to spend nearly a million fucking dollars to upgrade because people like me don't don the freaken mask!!!

America is not losing the battle to fight the virus but losing the battle to fight stupidity from the top to bottom.
