What's the point of wearing the mask then?
- ashtonkem 7y agoGotta go get groceries at some point, and that means breathing in the air someone else exhaled.
- DanBC 7y agoWhere's your evidence that the virus is present in the air that people exhale?
- ashtonkem 7y agoWe know it’s a highly infectious respiratory disease with asymptomatic transmission, this isn’t rocket science.
- DanBC 7y agoYou've just destroyed your own argument. If you're wearing a mask to protect against droplets then maybe you'd get marginal benefits. But if your concern is virus carried in the water vapour that people exhale, then an N95 isn't nearly enough to protect you.
