You are challenging other people to do the research and find the sources that support your "facts". No. Do your own d*mned research! And if you won't support what you claim are facts, don't expect people to believe them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A total reversal of what I said, which was to do their own research (my own is based on months of trawling a huge number of resources and condensing my findings into easily digestible factbites) and challenge me with any which disputes the conclusions I have reached.

A1Str8 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Obviously it's airborne. That's why such a virus was released. Otherwise how are you going to tell people, stay home blah blah and bring the global economy to it's knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise how are you going to tell people, stay home blah blah and bring the global economy to it's knees. Airborne in this context doesn't mean what you think it means. Which is entirely understandable. Larger droplets of liquid expelled from the lungs are not considered to be airborne. They're more like projectiles that will soon fall to the ground if they don't hit anything on the way down. Very small particles though, can be sustained for a long time in the air. It's the significance of these that are in question. Edited July 7, 2020 by johnpetersen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you would think after spending months of trawling a huge number of websites, Krataiboy would be inclined to share just a few of his resources with us. Does seem strange. Not that we would ever doubt that he or she has in fact spent months trawling a huge number of websites.

mommysboy Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Have we had any definitive studies that prove paper masks offer any significant protection? All I see are a few graphs/diagrams which explain what we knew already. It's probable they are of modest benefit imo- perhaps more so indoors. Every little bit helps I guess. (One anomaly in my eyes: it's scientifically accepted that paper masks are not much good at protecting against pm10 in air pollution, so why would they be any good with tiny viral particles? Perhaps pm10 is smaller- I don't know....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certainly not going to mollycoddle you by citing the numerous sources of the information I posted. Do your own research and I'm happy to debate facts you come up with which dispute mine. That is against netiquette, common decency and TVF rules. Make claims, back them up. Making claims without showing any proof and telling others to refute the claims with valid links is simply not done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one of the problems with the way people think about masks is that they defend the mask wearer from breathing in virus bearing droplets. But what's more important is that they impede the passage of such droplets from the mask wearer. https://www.livescience.com/face-mask-visualization-droplets-covid-19.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and that new evidence are cases of infections that are not caused by droplets. But airborne has to be quantified: just passing by an infected person indoors would not have enough virus in that exposure to result in an infection. But if you were in a crowded, poorly ventilated indoor setting having a conversation with an infected person for about 15 minutes the virus could be transmitted. Or a 5 minute conversation with 3 infected persons. Droplets are the primary cause of infections, but crowded indoor settings can have airborne transmissions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To put it in simple terms: Research on means of transmission, and means of avoiding transmission, continues. That's a good thing. The new research does not change the fact that wearing face masks, especially in crowds or indoor public areas, reduces the transmission rate of the virus. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/coronavirus-mask/art-20485449 https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/06/21/880832213/yes-wearing-masks-helps-heres-whyhttps://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/06/16/fact-check-cloth-masks-help-protect-others-contracting-covid-19/5333264002/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
