Fraudci Sucks!
Infected yet asymptomatic people are of particular concern because the particles they breathe are predominantly bio-aerosols
Given what we know about viral respiratory diseases: The main transmission path is long-residence-time aerosol particles (< 2.5 μm (nano-meters)), which are too fine to be blocked, and the minimum-infective dose is smaller than one aerosol particle.
*One nano-meter is about as long as your fingernail grows in one second!
*A human hair is approximately 80,000- 100,000 nano-meters wide!
Oh, right…that bandana, cloth mask, surgical mask is going to be a big help to you!
Gee, what does an Actual Virologist Wear..and what procedures do they follow?
National Academies' Standing Committee on Emerging Infectious Diseases and 21st Century Health Threats said that, because no studies have been done on the effectiveness of cloth masks in preventing transmission of coronavirus to others, it is impossible to assess their benefits, if any.
Committee members point out that research suggests that COVID-19 can spread via invisible droplets as small as 5 microns and by tiny bioaerosol particles as well as via visible respiratory droplets just by breathing.
Infected yet asymptomatic people are of particular concern because the particles they breathe are predominantly bioaerosols.
Michael Osterholm, PhD, MPH, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP), who contributed to the paper along with Sundaresan Jayaraman, PhD, of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, said in his weekly CIDRAP podcast yesterday that, because aerosols likely play an important role in coronavirus transmission, cloth masks will do little, if anything, to limit spread of the disease.
Masks and respirators do not work.
There have been extensive randomized controlled trial (RCT) studies, and meta-analysis reviews of RCT studies, which all show that masks and respirators do not work to prevent respiratory influenza-like illnesses, or respiratory illnesses believed to be transmitted by droplets and aerosol particles.
Furthermore, the relevant known physics and biology, which I review, are such that masks and respirators should not work. It would be a paradox if masks and respirators worked, given what we know about viral respiratory diseases: The main transmission path is long-residence-time aerosol particles (< 2.5 μm), which are too fine to be blocked, and the minimum-infective dose is smaller than one aerosol particle.
The present paper about masks illustrates the degree to which governments, the mainstream media, and institutional propagandists can decide to operate in a science vacuum, or select only incomplete science that serves their interests. Such recklessness is also certainly the case with the current global lockdown of over 1 billion people, an unprecedented experiment in medical and political history.
We have to stop using flawed data and bad science to make decisions.
It's time we stopped allowing politics and fear to dictate science – science and data should dictate good politics and public policy instead.
