To deny it is fine, but you do you.

Experimental results showed that when droplets spread onto a person face-to-face over short distances, 92.3% to 99.5% of droplets were blocked by the front surface of the facemask, whereas only 0.5% to 7.7% of droplets reached the back of the facemask. Both facemasks A and B had near or over 99% protection efficiency, compared with that of 95.5% to 97% of surgical facemasks. Using the same filters as normal surgical masks, facemasks A and B provided more effective respiratory protection against communicable respiratory infections such as influenza and SARS by the location of the breathing pathway to the back of the facemasks.

so much for good faith, don't trust tigerinhogtown (nm) - SwampTiger MU - 4/30 12:39:31

thanks, it has fallen off the first page - SwampTiger MU - 4/30 12:57:07

Told the truth. - MrBlueSky MU - 4/30 12:46:01

What is the science on masks? (nm) - ummmm MU - 4/30 12:47:01

RE: What is the science on masks? (nm) - MrBlueSky MU - 4/30 12:49:24

There's nothing about masks in either of those links. (nm) - ummmm MU - 4/30 12:53:29

Astute (nm) - MrBlueSky MU - 4/30 12:55:11

Well, is science guiding the decisions on masks or not? (nm) - ummmm MU - 4/30 12:57:34

Of course. I really don't understand what you're - MrBlueSky MU - 4/30 13:16:46

Link? Last I saw there is no "science" behind the efficacy - ummmm MU - 4/30 13:18:28

I still don't know why you're like this. - MrBlueSky MU - 4/30 13:19:31

"surgical masks" * - ummmm MU - 4/30 13:20:17

asymptomatic spread isn't the question (nm) - SwampTiger MU - 4/30 12:52:05

That's the argument for wearing a mask - MrBlueSky MU - 4/30 12:53:40

so show the science that wearing a mask reduces spread (nm) - SwampTiger MU - 4/30 12:58:00

You think that doesn't exist? What are you fighting - MrBlueSky MU - 4/30 13:16:25

I will stipulate that fitted surgical masks with exhaust - SwampTiger MU - 4/30 13:51:31

A lot of people (probably most) aren't wearing surgical - ummmm MU - 4/30 13:19:58

I'm wearing a homemade cloth mask with a PM2.5 filter - MrBlueSky MU - 4/30 13:21:42

You need to get on the horn with all these stores saying - ummmm MU - 4/30 13:28:12

A covering is beneficial, period. - MrBlueSky MU - 4/30 13:30:36

That's not what that study says. (nm) - ummmm MU - 4/30 14:13:52

So says who? (nm) - ummmm MU - 4/30 12:57:50

here we go - SwampTiger MU - 4/30 12:49:03
