I also fail to see how saturation leads to a decrease in filtration. I could imagine other scenarios in which efficacy of the mask would be reduced when saturated, but not because it stops filtering.

- DanBC 6y agoRight, and that's a bad thing. Mask proponents say we need to wear a mask to prevent us spreading our covid to other people. When you touch your mask you transfer covid to your hands. You then need to clean your hands immediately. You may have excellent hand hygiene, but we know (because there are hundreds of studies on this) that most people do not wash their hands often enough, and don't wash their hands properly. If the science is telling you to wear a mask it's telling you to keep it on and stop touching it.
