Mask Math
The Covid virus size is 0.125 Microns diameter. The cross section area of the virus is 0.012 square microns.
The pore size in an N95 mask is 80 Microns in diameter. The cross section area of the pore is about 5020 square microns.
Dividing the hole size by the virus size, The holes in the mask are 409,600 times bigger than the virus the mask is supposed to trap.
That is the same as trying to catch a golf ball (diameter 1.68 inches) by using a net that has holes 89.6 feet in diameter.
I think the maskologist argument would be that the viruses are contained in droplets which are much bigger. Not saying masks work, but let's not make it easy for them.
Actually. Thats exactly what they are saying. The mask catches the droplets.
Wich it dies catch some but not all
Exactly.
But covid is airborne, which means it does not require a water droplet to expose others.
It is not airborne. I know what you are trying to say but usually in the case of viruses and pandemics and such something is only airborne when it can linger and survive in the air and continue to infect even at long distances. Covid isnt that.
From what I understand it is just that. I understand that it can survive for hours in the air in an unventilated environment.
Nope. It is transmitted through prolonged exposure (15 minutes minimum) to an infected person who is in close proximity (within 6 feet)
Except that is an hypothesis. They admit it is just a hypothesis on every paper and every website that says it. (Or they say "Authorities believe", "Authorities say", etc.) Every real test of that hypothesis has shown otherwise.
