I didn't feel like giving out a detailed explanation, so I guess thank you for that.
As far as a bandana being a valid substitute, all of the mask mandates say that it is.
edit Just wondering your take on this: If this disease is so infectious that a mask is needed, why are the tests performed the way they are? You figure that they could take a mouth swap, or conduct it like any other viral test...instead of having to basically touch the blood/brain barrier.
Blood-brain barrier is one of the easiest ways to confirm as other methods are not accurate yet. You see this often with new tests and experimental drugs, the area of effect is always blood-brain barrier as it is easy to target and conclusive.
But if it is so infectious, how can the other ways not be accurate. Even a blood test would allow you to know if you have the antibodies. I can live without the brain spear.
It's not that other methods are not accurate, it's that the tests are not accurate. For something to be accurate you have to develop a test, blood-brain barrier is easier to develop therefore it already exists, mouth method will obviously come at a later time, but there are already companies testing that method. Do you think blood culture tests were accurate from the start? No, somebody developed it and made it accurate which is why it is in use.
