You show me a test of the new spikes in confirmed cases that breaks it down into symptomatic, asymptomatic, and antibodies showing up but nothing else and this study shows over 50 percent are symptomatic and borderline dying then I will consider the mask full time.

Until then it's just fear mongering to me and I would rather die free than live in fear and sucking down my own stupid carbon in 90 degree weather.

It doesn't really change size. It's just that what actually makes it to 6 feet away is smaller than what is coming out of your mouth. My understanding is that when you cough or speak, you broadcast larger droplets that are mostly stopped by a mask. But the mask is about 50/50 stopping smaller particles from getting in.

I guess I have trouble understanding why particles are different sizes within 6 feet. There is nothing to change the particle or droplet size within that area. Why would the tiny virus not continue through the mask irregardless of the surrounding sputum? There is simply no logic explaining why there is a reduction in a six foot area depending on which side of the mask you are standing.

We just got back from two business and not a single person in either had on a mask not even the employees ( one had a pair of gloves on ) .

In highly scientific terms, the mask greatly reduces what you are spitting at people from the source. The virus has to have something to ride on - namely liquid. Since the droplets are larger at the source, a mask is able to cut way down on what you're hocking in people's general direction when you talk, cough, breathe etc. Droplets get smaller the farther they are from a source because gravity pulls the larger ones down. Hence, a regular mask isn’t as good at catching the incoming because it’s porous.

Thought this was kind of interesting as far as showing what will block small particles: 517F785C-4EEF-451C-8D46-6318DCBD6E08.jpeg

I'm thinking our resident virus "experts" aren't going to buy in the science of wearing a mask. Great post!
