Yep. Not afraid to use it.
Massive dust cloud reaches South Florida
Outbursts of Canadian wildfire smoke have filled the sky over the eastern United States in recent weeks, but a new airborne danger from a different source has reached another part of the country. This past week, AccuWeather meteorologists were tracking several large clouds of dust from Africa's...www.yahoo.com
Seems to be aimed at the Gulf Coast and Eastern Seaboard for now.
Meh, fire will cleanse it.Have you ever seen what its like to have Ebola?
I just wanted everyone to know the sorts of things you find entertaining.

Shit, is could be Diane Frankenstien's coffin opening up on a daily basis. All that gas coming out from over night.
Did you know, that the brown turd Obammy was the first President ever to allow Ebola into the United States, under the supervision of one Tony Fauxci?Have you ever seen what its like to have Ebola?

Lets invade Canada and then we can all piss on the fires to put them out.....
Do you actually believe that surgical masks do nothing? Does that mean you'd willingly undergo surgery under non-sterile conditions?
Non sequitur.
Wrong
So they stop the spread of infection. That is not doing "nothing", is it
Wrong. Isolation rooms are kept at negative pressures but operating rooms are kept at positive pressures. No one is going enter an isolation room in a cheap knock-off mask. See COVID-19 and Hospital and Facility Administration.
For a doctor in an OR, sure.
Do you think people are wearing such masks into ORs?
You haven't answered the first one. Would you be willing to have surgery under non-sterile conditions?
Right....Comparing a closed system with everyday life is a total non sequitur.
IN A CLOSED ENVIRONMENT.
Yet all the hoi polloy wore were cheap knock-off masks...Do you ever even give a moment's thought before hitting that "Post reply" button?
Is a fucking grocery store an OR?
Fucking idiot.
ORs are not closed systems and whether or not the environment was controlled has no effect whatsoever on what the mask does and does not do.
Cloth masks were popular at first and were very ineffective. Then they moved to surgical masks which would provide 20% protection for a 5 minute, 6 foot exposure if both parties wore them. Then they moved to N-95s and KN-95s. Now, with the widespread vaccination of the population, mask use has declined significantly. I don't wear a mask unless I expect population density to exceed roughly 1 person/100 sq ft. Then I use a KN-95. Here is a graphic from a study comparing N-95s to cloth masks augmented with HEPA filters.
I'm still wondering why you won't answer my question? If you think surgical masks do nothing, why would you care whether or not your surgeon was wearing one? It could be argued that it might detract from his concentration and technique. Mightn't you prefer he go without?
Always with the silly-assed charts and graphs that prove nothing.ORs are not closed systems and whether or not the environment was controlled has no effect whatsoever on what the mask does and does not do.

Obviously, these masks are reducing exposure.

I'm the head of a family all of whom have had every vaccination and booster available and who have all worn masks when needed and who have all completely avoided COVID infection.
Have you had a chance to try them on wildfire smoke? I'm in northern Wisconsin and we got a few days where the haze from the Canada fires was visible within a single suburban block and the smell of wood smoke was strong. If you put on an N-95 mask you couldn't smell it anymore.
Science has never told you any of those things.
