Top Pathologist Claims Coronavirus is “The Greatest Hoax Ever Perpetrated on an Unsuspecting Public”: The virology expert also says “masks are utterly useless. Paper masks and fabric masks are simply virtue signalling. It’s utterly ridiculous."

I have stayed far away from the corona stuff the past few months, but the topic of masks won't fucking go away.

Can someone simply answer me this: why is a mask useless for preventing water droplets from your mouth spreading to other surfaces?

I'm assuming the virus is still transferred via water droplets, not air. I'm not taking a stand here, I would just like this answered. I know surgical masks aren't made for filtering air, that's not the point.

Its transfered in the air, can travel 30 feet and only n95 and above masks stop that.

Can you sauce me on the air transfer bit? if that is the case then yes, masks are useless unless they are N95.

Do you mean source? Just type it in to a search engine.

thats the problem litterally google just what you said and it has what is likely fake news saying the masks work, that is the problem with saying search engine it, do you mean a different search engine

It's spread via "Bio-Aerosols", rendering cloth masks useless. If you can smell smoke or perfume while wearing one, then you know they're ineffective since the virus is smaller than the scent molecule.

To get past Google results censorship, use search.joshwho.net or swisscows.com, for a start. Many others.

Aerosols means water droplets. Those are big enough to be stopped by masks.

What you should use to research scientific publications is the ncbi website or sciencedirect.

Aerosols means water droplets.

Oh really?

Bioaerosol Definition: A bioaerosol is a suspension of airborne particles that contain living organisms or were released from living organisms. These particles are very small and range in size from less than one micrometer to one hundred micrometers.

Do you understand what "suspension" means? It means a mixture containing particules. In this case, the mixture is fine droplets. The mention "droplets and aerosols" you will see in some publications basically means "droplets and very fine droplets".

In any case, masks are effective at limiting spread of aerosols: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-72798-7

I dont think you understand. A Bioaerosol does not necessitate the presence of moisture.

And again until you understand.

Bioaerosols are airborne particles, solid or liquid. They can be large molecules or volatile compounds. They contain living organisms. They will vary in size from a fraction of a micron to around 100 microns.

Also, like the CDC first said in the spring, this is why cloth masks don't work.

[–]Zahn 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Aerosol, a system of liquid or solid particles uniformly distributed in a finely divided state through a gas, usually air.

The first three links I got were to studies showing that it's likely covid-19 spreads thrpugh the air. Im working so not in a position to dig deeper while on my break with my phone. Sorry

oh yeah I know what you mean it spreads thru air now that doesn't mean it doesn't also spread thru droplets so the masks still help altho not 100%, it'd be a fallacy to argue that since no one said wear a mask and you're 100% safe

It helps like pulling out stops pregnancies. In that they don't.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (9 children)

bad analogy because pulling out does help stop pregnancies, not 100%, but no one said it would. 100% would be not having sex and not getting close to anyone ever. But you do have to do certain things like buy food in a grocery store, so that is where you must wear a mask.

You talk about bad analogies but then use the only analogy that would actually stop the spread. 100% lockdown. LOL
