Bull ****.

Fact actually.

Prove it with a randomized clinical trial.

Hi Fred,

Thank you for actually doing it right. "Science
baby science", to quote Simon Pegg:

Results The rates of all infection outcomes were
highest in the cloth mask arm, with the rate of ILI
statistically significantly higher in the cloth mask
arm (relative risk (RR)=13.00, 95% CI 1.69 to 100.07)
compared with the medical mask arm. Cloth masks also
had significantly higher rates of ILI compared with
the control arm. An analysis by mask use showed
ILI (RR=6.64, 95% CI 1.45 to 28.65) and laboratory-
confirmed virus (RR=1.72, 95% CI 1.01 to 2.94) were
significantly higher in the cloth masks group compared
with the medical masks group. Penetration of cloth
masks by particles was almost 97% and medical masks
44%.

The key words a
Penetration of cloth masks by particles was almost
97% and medical masks 44%.

The study shows clearly that neither one works. And
that the cloth ones are atrocious.

And at 44% or 97%, "you first!". 44% is way more that
is necessary to get infected. 97% is total bull ****.

I have a study that shows cloth masks cluster bombing
folks and aerosols going right through N95 masks. Would
you like to see either one or both?

By the way, I work for a guy that designed the N95.
He told me in no unequivocal terms that THEY ARE
NOT DESIGNED FOR VIRUSES.
