Mask Nazi comment

NeoBlackdog

Had to go into our local Lowes for some supplies the other day and on my way in there was a 'gentleman' in front of me who was dutifully putting on his mask. I gave him plenty of space and as I went by he muttered "Aszhole!". Now I'm assuming since it was just him and me in the space and I wasn't wearing a face diaper that he was displeased with me for not wearing one. I stopped and turned around and responded "Yep, pretty much!" then proceeded into the store. Ran into him once in the store and he had his mask pulled down below his nose and barely covering his mouth. I don't think he appreciated me not moving out of the center of the aisle and giving him any space when he hurried by...

    They will stop fluids, S-F, and any pathogens contained therein.

    The N95s, apparently stop 90%+ of the magical Covid. Much better than a surgical mask.

    Your point is less.

    My point was exact. N95's are much better.

    You're comparing apples and potatoes.

    The vast majority of masks that are worn, including surgical masks do not filter much of the air being exhaled. They filter or block a direct path from the mouth outward, stopping the direct passage of droplets, but allowing much if not most of the air to leave the sides or bottom without being filtered.

    They do a better job with incoming air, as the lower pressure does tend to seal them a little on the sides and underneath.

    Surgeons and ER folk have been using masks for years to keep blood and other fluids from entering the mouth or nose, not a a protection against pathogens.

    N95s, particularly those with the check valve, are designed for and effective in the protection of the wearer. They, like the other masks, do much less in preventing an exhaled virus from getting into the surrounding air.

    The entire construct of 'wear a mask to protect others' is false. It always has been, and always will be.
