How Face Masks Work and Which Types Offer the Best Covid-19 Protection

Mask use tracks pretty well with how much of an asshole people are. No surprise the jerks in my life are the worst offenders in violating my airspace. At least they quit insisting on shaking my hand after I started clamping down hard on everyone who stuck their paw into my exclusion zone.

Mask use doesn't correlate with disease spread however.

California, the most Woke state in the union has an unprecedented surge of the Chinese Kung Flu as we speak here. Their hospitals are jammed, even as the require masks everywhere, are policing private parties and prohibiting people from leaving their properties.
 
If masks work the government would have set a minimum standard for them. As it stands now you could wear toilet paper or lace panties and you are fine as long as it covers your mouth and nose.

Population density translates to far greater numbers of infected people. Americans seem unable to grasp the concept of exponential growth.
 
..they don't help if people are touching everything with their hands ---which I see all the time
...my head boss is very strict with everyone about masks/etc....so one time he comes over to me and is looking at parts...he picks one up and studies it....he then tries to give it to me to finish it!!!!!! get it? I had to sanitize it....he didn't realize that what he did was unsanitary/against the '''rules''
.....a lot of humans are not disciplined enough ...I've said this a lot of times before C19.......we/they/us do not have the discipline EVERY SECOND of the day to keep C19 from spreading

I put out a link on how it's spread a lot through touch

It's hard to tell which side these people are on. ARe they true Red Party of the Rumpers or are the clinically brain dead. I'm looking forward when the Governors are forced to do mandantory PPP Procedures. And it won't be the Federal Government that dictates it since it's a States Right and not a Federal Right. I am hearing more than one Deep Red Governor trying to get the states citizens to wear masks, social distance and stay home unless they have a good reason not to. Governors answer to Citizens and there are a hell of a lot more Citizens that demand better. The Adults are starting to take over.

Its not just population percentage. But pollution in crowded cities. The peoples lungs have already been compromised. Its so easy to blame population where if you drive across tbis coumtry most of it is vacant land.
Its the congestion and overcrowding of areas and the pollution in latge cities like wuhan and those in cali
The American lung association web site once had a list of yhe most air polluted cities. California ownedownedbout about 8 of the top 10.
If everyone is so concerned about corona. Why are those pollution correlation figures not top news.
Further proof covid is all political and money oriented. Wear a mask it reminds everyone there is a virus about. Buy feel free touch everything in sight. And dont worry about the effects of prolonged exposure to air polluting cities.
Wear a mask

I ran across this. It's not real informative but it's good enough for the layperson. There is more to the care and feeding or a proper mask.

Breaking down different types of coverings, the proper way to take them on and off and how to tell if a mask is professional grade

Face masks are a simple way to help prevent the spread of the new coronavirus through talking, coughing or sneezing, scientists and public-health specialists say. But they need to be worn properly.

While some types of masks are more effective than others, public-health officials say any face covering—even a bandanna—is better than nothing.

Here’s how different types of masks stack up, and how they are meant to be used.

Cut from different cloth

Common masks fall into three categories: cloth masks or coverings like gaiters, intended to prevent an infected person from spreading the virus by catching large droplets; surgical masks, with a more sophisticated design also meant to prevent the wearer from spreading diseases; and N95 masks, which protect the wearer as well, and fit tightly to the face.

Cloth

- Typically homemade

- Style and materials vary widely

- Prevents wearer from spreading disease

- Work in herd-immunity: the more wear masks,

the more effective they are

- Wash after use



Surgical

- Loose fit

- Prevents wearer from spreading disease

- Dispose after use

- Made from a material called polypropylene



N95

- Tight fit, must be fit tested

- Protects wearer if fitted properly

- Limited quantity




Fit vs. function

A good cloth mask filters well and is comfortable to breathe through.

A cloth mask should consist of three layers: an inner layer near the mouth that can get moist, a middle filtration layer and an outer layer exposed to the outside environment. Here are the materials for homemade masks that do this best, according to the World Health Organization, using a scale that combines filter quality and breathability. A higher rating is better.

Face masks are only rated to bacterial level. Viruses are a thousand times smaller than bacteria. If anyone thinks masks stop viruses, they're thicker than my kitchen worktop.

Masks just slightly reduce the vapour plume that you breathe out. So you have to keep over 2 metres apart. Even then, don't assume you'll never catch Covid by doing that.

True and it depends if everyone is wearing or not wearing a mask. In 1918 when the first wave went through San Fran everyone wore masks and things were shut down and their number's went down actually to practically nothing and then they relax their rules opened up and no one wore a mask. Low and behold when the 2nd wave started they refused masks and shutdowns and look what happened. Beside their population in CA a friend whom lives out there tells me only about half are even wearing masks if that.
 

You are part of either thepartyoftherumper or just plain brain dead. Since you find this humerous, take a look at this.


People die every day. Anyone could let bodies pile up instead of burying them

:thup::up: Logic and common sense like that never registers with the trump haters of course.the fact that’s happening in Detroit,the criminal empire in the country,the state with that lying fascist dictater whitmere that a certain troll At this site worships,that it’s happening in that state,it’s pretty obvious your explanation is whats going on there.:thup:
 
:thankusmile: :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap: Exactly,the op has ot done his research as always because the best doctors that have exposed this hoax,have come out and said masks are useless.thst previousposter hit the nail on the head,it’s the same thing as a chain link fence trying to keep mosquitos out.

Face masks have to comply to European Standard EN 149:2001 + A1:2009. These protect down to particle size .6 microns, but Covid 19 is smaller. The masks are good at stopping sneeze and cough droplets. On a cold day, breathe through the mask and you will see your huff. So masks reduce the plume size but doesn't stop the virus. I liked your chain link fence analogy.
