Face Masks.... more common sense

are they 100% effective.... of course not.   N95... I think means 95% only, and that for particular matter of a certain size.   A virus is much smaller.  

But it does provide some protection.  Some is better than NONE.   It can reduce the amount (concentration) of viruses entering your body.    Concentration of initial infection probably plays a large role in how bad you get, if you live or die.

Face Mask best use probably is for the infected person to wear it.  Stoping/reducing the spread at its source.   

And since we don't know who's infected or not, best everyone wear a mask.

Some protection is better than none.   Some prevention is better than none.

Wrong.  CDC says the virus is not airborne, it only exists on floating water droplets which is why the N95 is effective for that size of particle matter.  When you cough or sneeze, the virus is released in water droplets--the virus doesn't float alone in air.  On surfaces, it lives in bacteria up to 24 hours.  It cannot survive alone.  Concentration affecting life or ...more

Ever hear of EVAPORATION !!!    When some of those tiny water droplets carrying the Virus evaporate in the air, where do you think the virus is left?  In the air.   They are air borne!!!    You ever see how a humidifier works??  It shoots a mist of water in the air.   It evaporates even before it hits the ground.

COMMON SENSE....

You have zero common sense.  Evaporation works through steam.   The human body doesn't release steam (you've been watching too many cartoons).   Respiratory droplets with COVID 19 on it are propelled through the air by air pressure from our lungs and fall to the ground like a cannon ball with a range of 6'.   That's why the CDC recommends a social ...more

Just exhale on cold glass, you will see your moisture your body lets out of your body..   Use your common sense.

Mask due help, just don't think they are 100%.    Although viruses are super tiny, they probably still get stuck to mask by direct contact or attracted to the mask fibers by electrostatic charge....That I'm just guessing.

Nothing you said proves COVID-19 is airborne.  If COVID-19 was airborne, why would medical doctors be wearing N95 masks in the hospital rooms treating patients with COVID-19?  Shouldn't they be wearing NBC charcoal filtered gas masks instead?  Are you telling me you are smarter on this topic than a medical doctor?? quote=RagingBull3]Just exhale on cold glass, you will see your ...more

There is no common sense 1-2MN people die from the flu in reporting countries every year and it's nombig deal. The people supposedly protecting us now have no credibility as they failed to have regimes in place, incl inventory, post SARS, like Tiawan and others, and failed to heed China alerts in Dec. What make them so competent now?  Easy to drive 100s MNs into poverty and bankruptcy ...more

  Yes, the BS and hysteria are very strong on this covid19.  I believe covid-19 is a designer virus to create another crises with an agenda. You can call me a conspiracy nutcase but nothing big happen by accident. Chinese have been killing and eating wild animals for decades if not centuries, so have india and africans. In fact, US patented coronavirus and china smuggled lots of ...more

It's a big deal because it's a +1.  You still have cancer, gunshot wounds, seasonal flu and NOW +COVID 19.  Also, you can probably get it more than once just like seasonal flu.  Once you get it, your antibodies don't protect you for life.  They expect a second wave in October.  The problem is it spreads so fast it can overburden the healthcare system making the ...more

Sorry to tell you common sense does drive with science. The covid-19 virus have shown to stay alive (ie. effective) from 3 hours to 3+ days outside of the host, depending on the type of surface, temperature and humidity condition.   Surely the water content of the liquid droplet can evaporate during those time period, leaving the covid19 virus not encased with anything. If the surface is not ...more

The World Health Organization says COVID 19 is not transmitted airborne and droplet transmission is different .  https://www.who.int/news-room/commentaries/detail/modes-of-transmission-of-virus-causing-covid-19-implications-for-ipc-precaution-recommendations "Airborne transmission is different from droplet transmission as it refers to the presence of microbes within droplet nuclei ...more

why are you repeating what i've said? I said it is rare to be infected by aerosol covid19 but is not never or impossible.  I already read up on the subject before i made my claim, no need to repost long piece of WHO garbage which i don't read anyway. Also, i don't believe everything what WHO said. They are part of the UN with an agenda.  Why did WHO said mask is not effective ...more
