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.

Cloth masks aren't perfect, but they limit the spread (including of aerosols, cf previous post), which is a good enough reason for people to wear them.

Keep telling yourself it's making a difference if it makes you feel better then.

Stop living in fear.

Here..I made this just for you..This magical emoticon of celestial protection will give you a health buff that decreases your chance of dying of the boogeyman flu by 99.7%. Save and view it every time you have to take your mask off to catch your breath. 1 hour cool down. Good luck out there friend, I hear that virus is lurking around every dark corner.
