Yep my old job has charts on the wall of what mask to wear for what. Too many people told HR to reference the chart about their silly wear surgical masks policy so they took it down.
The chart said for small particles you should use the big air tank included filter things and then take breaks every few hours. It also said it was dangerous to wear N95's or a cloth covering all day. I wish I took a picture but there was no phones on the floor and I didn't think you could take down safety signs. It really made me understand what the pandemic is. These people break all rules to control us and making people sick is a plus.
Great video but IMHO she shouldn't have started out talking about Alex Jones.
No normie will listen to anything she says after she implies he is the source of her info. Obviously he isn't, but that's what it sounds like at the beginning.
It's a nose ring video. Leading you by the nose. But who's pulling the string?
I'm not defending masks, but it is possible for filters to capture particles smaller than their pores. An example we all know: The finger guards on a fan are far too large to filter dust. But clearly they do "filter" the air slightly because some dust is removed from the air and stuck to the grille. A HEPA filter has a very large surface area so it is effective against removing small particles like viruses. HEPA filters are tested with 0.3 micron particles because that size is the most difficult to remove. Leakage around the sides remains a problem.
If the masks do filter effectively, that's good until you breathe in and pull that stuff back into your lungs. If you're sick self isolate and do not wear a mask.
My big beef with her is nobody is going to look up the Foegen Effect if they don't know how to spell it. Overall, this video would be good material to cut into a 1 minute short.
True that dust clings to a fan shroud, but you have to consider all the factors, static, oil in the air, moisture in the air, etc. it’s hard to say that this is conclusive evidence of mask effectiveness.
Besides that, a fan is a 1-way movement of air, many fans have a self clean mode that actually works fairly well (it spins in reverse). So in effect, by normal breathing, you are diminishing that effect of static cling filtration. Additionally, the static cling effect could actually worsen it, because now you have a larger surface area to suck through, and less chances for it to escape.
Sickness can be made worse by being social, but generally it depends on each person and how they are wired. If staying home makes you feel sad and depressed (especially if alone), you’re health is less likely to improve, whereas if you enjoy solitude, it would probably help you to avoid people.

I've worked with {or against} OSHA for 30 years.
We were never allowed to wear those blue masks for somthing as simple as cutting plywood{you may inhale sawdust and any chemical from pressure treated lumber }
N95 are only okay for minor things. Full respirators are recommended for anything hazardous.
They went completely against this during covid, insisting everyone wear a paper mask on the job site, indoors.
When questioned on why their policy had suddenly changed, I was told to leave if i didn't want to follow the guidelines.
