The Great Mask Debate, Part II
Boy were there some irrational people sending in emails on that last story a few weeks ago. The dominant theme seemed to be that the masks don't do a proper job at filtering and are thus useless. A university did some testing and video taped the results showing no mask, a single layer cloth mask, a double layer cloth mask and a hospital type non woven procedure mask. The non woven procedure mask did quite well actually and watching that video makes me want to wear one around people even if this Chinese virus goes away.
And yeah, one irresponsible nut job not wearing a mask while harboring the virus doesn't help the responsible people that do. That is the thing about the mask, it isn't about filtering out inhaled virus, it is about keeping the virus from spreading from the fools not wearing a mask while they are carriers. And dang it, we do not know who the carriers are! What else can we do other than lock everything down to slow down the spread? No one wants that, so wear the dang mask.
