  • Face mask effectiveness: What science knows now

    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Mon Oct 30 09:48:41 2023

    No mask is 100% effective. An N95, for example, is named as such
    because it is at least 95 percent efficient at blocking airborne
    particles when used properly. But even if a mask has an 80%
    efficiency, Marr said, it still offers meaningful protection.
    ...
    ...
    Marr said research shows that high-quality masks can block particles
    that are the same size as those carrying the coronavirus. Masks work,
    Marr explained, as a filter, not as a sieve. Virus particles must
    weave around the layers of fibers, and as they do so, they may crash
    into those fibers and become trapped.

    Unfortunately, no mask is effective against stupidity.

    Fortunately, stupidity is evolutionarily self-defeating. Breathe
    deeply, dumbfucks, breathe deeply.

    If the virus must be inhaled, it's better to receive a small viral
    load than a whopper sized one. Immune system will be overwhelmed with
    a whopper load.

    Good. They're demonstrably smarter than you.

    I haven't seen that behavior, or the floor arrows, in well over a year.
    That's not a thing around here, anymore. COVID is basically old news,
    now. Perhaps this varies by region of the US.

    It's a corporate based convenience store, with many locations in
    various states.

    When a state law has a social distancing requirement, a corp may apply
    it to all of their locations

    In Ohio....unknown if this is still the law.

    Comply with social distancing requirements of the U.S. Centers for
    Disease Control and Prevention and Ohio Department of Health,
    including, where possible: Designating 6-foot distances with signage,
    tape, or other means to allow for adequate social distancing between
    employees. This also applies to customers in lines.' <https://coronavirus.ohio.gov/wps/wcm/connect/gov/5dcfbc66-90bf-44d8-82df-855fdaf1e9e3/COVID-19+Checklist+for+Businesses+and+Employers.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CONVERT_TO=url&CACHEID=ROOTWORKSPACE.Z18_M1HGGIK0N0JO00QO9DDDDM3000-5dcfbc66-90bf-44d8-82df-
