Keep in mind that just stand next to someone,
you exhausting literally billions of viruses
of all kinds all over them and they are not
in water droplets.

As far as I can tell, masks are only for show.


You seem like a nice guy.* That said, when it comes down to disease stuff I
trust the people at the New England Journal of Medicine more than the guys
here on a newsgroup.

Lots of stuff both pro and con and gives a more
realistic look. One ofthem says you have to use
vasoline around the N95 filer to stop blow by.
I forget which one.

Irrelevant to the masks we are talking about - N-95 masks are PPE and
used together with other PPE and measures.
