no but it speaks to the efficacy of those masks.
P.S. I already know more than 10% get through, I was just trying to give you a best case scenario because what you are advocating for is a pointless waste of energy
If you aren't saying the masks are useless, then how is mask use "a pointless waste of energy?
do you not understand that it takes a ballpark number of a viral load to infect people. lets say a face diaper mask only lets through 10 percent of a viral load of one breath in close proximity to you, do you get sick. If the answer is yes, then they are useless even if they 'do something'
hhhmmmm...
Folks, this looks like another "100% protection or they're useless" opinion.
They seem to be trying to work this out in their own head. Why not listen to people who have actually compared the covid rates in communities that had mask mandates with the rates of infection in communities that did not? Like this one from the Western Journal of Emergency Medicine: Volume 23, Issue 5.1, 2022 "In this study, suburban communities with mask mandates had a lower SARS-CoV2 peak percent positivity rate and an earlier peak than communities without mask mandates." https://escholarship.org/uc/item/60j4901w
"100% protection or they're useless" well, how many virus particles have to enter your body before you get sick?
also another bullshit story, Florida did fuck all for covid and it did perfectly fine for the first 8 months.
but seriously, the reason communities with mask mandates spread a bit slower was because people were terrified like it was the plague, and were super social distancing, which is the only thing that is effective against a virus like that. a little piece of cloth that isn't even sealed around your face isn't going to protect you from anything.
