Pro mask or anti mask?

I just explained scientifically why the mask doesn’t work. But you couldnt explain back to mr why they do other than fauci and the government said so. Sorry you don’t understand microbiology or how to research or think for yourself 🤷🏼‍♀️ @Emosaur

Just throwing this out there.... If a doctor was to perform surgery on you would you expect them to wear a mask? 🤔

Yes, because my blood or other bodily fluids might slash in his orifices. The sameness reason why we wear masks in healthcare or in droplet or airborne precaution rooms 🤭😂@Snowvixen

And You still can’t explain to me why it works other than “it works” 🤣 the one with lack of understanding is YOU @Emosaur

@DeluxedEdition So based on what you just said why don't they work for the public going into highly populated areas to prevent more spread of covid? 🤔

Maybe Because they’re surgeons and they work in the OR......... the OPERATING ROOM 🤦🏼‍♀️😐@Snowvixen

@DeluxedEdition 🤦‍♀️ In a pandemic it works the same. You protect yourself and others by wearing one. Just as a doctor wears one to protect himself/herself and their patient.

@DeluxedEdition a simple petri dish test proves masks work, at 4:30.

Did you misread covid guidelines and socially distance your brain cells? I mean, across multiple topics you've failed to understand the material at hand, including on the topic of masks lol

@DeluxedEdition Puff Puff, pass!

@Snowvixen Surgeons wear masks to prevent the spread of bacteria and germ not viruses.

@Wayward73 viruses too

At this point, y'all are just trying to be obtuse lol and that's putting it mildly

@deadgerbil 🤣😂🤣 you find a statement by one Dr and you conclude your argument is conclusively proven? Good luck with that!

If they are good enough for the OR (Operating rooms )it’s good enough for me . I’ll use them thank you for explaining.@DeluxedEdition

@Repete good it will prevent you dropping your dentures into someone's open body cavity. A very handy every day skill.

@Snowvixen Only if they don't want to get something in their mouths. They are not worn to prevent viral spread.

@DeluxedEdition dust will go through too😂

I’m glad your so concerned about other people’s health . My dentures do slip out once in a while when I can remember to put them in. That mask is a very useful thing to have around.@SW-User

@Wayward73 and droplets

@DeluxedEdition Girl, don't make me explain to you AGAIN how and why microscopic particles are stopped by masks. I've done this twice now.

@DeluxedEdition Then maybe I can.

For starters, coronavirus is transmitted mostly through, as you already mentioned, droplets. If someone is wearing a mask, it stops droplets from leaving their mouth or nose. Obviously this includes sneezing, coughing, and spitting, but it also includes the most common source of droplets, that being the moisture on your breath. That's why your glasses fog up when you wear one.

As for individual virus particles, those are really that much of a concern. And if they were, masks stop those too. In fact, a mask will stop large particles AND small particles. It's medium sized particles that a mask has trouble with.

This is because microscopic objects will stick to any solid surface they touch due to Van Der Waals forces. A mask isn't like a filter, stopping particles of a certain size but allowing smaller ones to pass. A mask is more like a spiderweb. If a particle at any point touches a fiber of the mask, it adheres to it.

Particles larger than one micron are massive enough that they travel forward in a straight line. Being that masks have multiple layers of fibers, a large particle is basically guaranteed to hit one and stick. Particles smaller than about three fourths of a micron have so little mass that they bounce off of surrounding air molecules and travel in a highly erratic manner called Brownian motion. Particles of this size, including viruses, are also guaranteed to be stopped by a mask.

It's when you get to particles that are between three quarters to one micron that are the problem. Their mass is not heavy enough to travel straight but not light enough for Brownian motion, so they are mostly carried by air currents, and as you breathe in, a particle of this size has a chance to be carried around the fibers of the mask along with your inhale. Thankfully, COVID particles are not of this size.

@Wayward73 Germs and bacteria can get you very sick.
