A coat doesn't keep you completely ry, but it wards off most of the rain, even though water molecules are *MUCH* smaller than even a virus, and will go right through fabric. <br /><br />The issue isn't virus particles. The issue is droplets of water containing virus particles, and by stopping those, the mask reduces the virus load substantially.<br /><br />I reported on a scientific experiment about a year ago in this blog.<br /><br />https://blog.drsolly.com/2020/05/day-69-of-self-isolation-masked-hamsters.htmldrsollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15954188290191548178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143925273655347334.post-80521037281307845052021-08-19T08:30:59.838+01:002021-08-19T08:30:59.838+01:00The science actually says that masks are of no use...The science actually says that masks are of no use where the virus is concerned. UK government science advisor has likened it to putting up a builder's scaffold to stop a barrage of flying marbles. the gaps in the mask fabric being 500,000 times the size of the virus particles. The Swedish government does not even advise the public to use them, as their scientists say it leads to false sense of confidence without any benefit.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
