I think it is too early to make such a claim. If no protection is applied (visor/mask) and no physical distancing is performed, I assume the claim might hold up.
The SARS-CoV-2 aerosol route is still relevant, however. The masks are able to block this a bit while the visors are barely helpful. Hence I wouldn't say that the visors are a solution.
- nabla9 6y agoThe fact that masks provide protection is evidence that aerosols are not significant transmission route. Surgical and cloth masks are not relevant to aerosol question. They work trough gravity sedimentation and inertial impaction. For smaller particles you need diffusion, and electrostatic attraction. In other words N95 mask that fits well.
