Here you go Mask zeolots. Now exhale smoke through your mask to see if it works.

Yes but the problem is its already been pretty proven that theres a reason people rarely get the virus in small periods of time, why? It takes consistent breathing in of the virus typically to get it on average. This is why large droplets are pretty meaningless unless someone coughs directly on your face, but social distancing of any kind and not coughing and sneezing onto people handles that pretty well, so those droplets fall to the ground immediately and rarely get into the air, it is the NORMAL BREATH that make it through the mask and into the air that get people infected, thats why one must be in areas usually for long period of times and people rarely get sick with a 2 minute go into a gas station or even a 15 minute go into a super market, its typically multiple hours inside with someone who has it who is constantly breathing out and enough of it gets into the air for you to catch it. Therefor masks do very little. If you cant control yourself from sneezing or coughing directly onto people you probably shouldnt be outside, thats just common manners
The information about minimizing time exposed to anyone/place that potentially has the virus is seriously lacking. Sure, there are maximize your distance warnings, shield yourself with a mask warnings, but no one is saying minimize your time.
I refuse to believe that in the past 6 months that we haven't learned how to minimize exposure, where the exposures are likely to happen, and how best to prevent acquiring it. But there has been no new information for months. People are catching it at work (slaughter houses, long term care facilities) or at home where there is another infected person. Has anyone heard of a case where someone caught it grocery shopping? No. We aren't hearing of jobs that have higher risk than others. It makes no sense that this information isn't available after 6 months of tracking this.
The instances that infuriate me is when a masked person argues with an unmasked person. Any benefit gained by wearing a mask has is wiped out by arguing with someone who has raised their volume of virus spew and more importantly increasing your time in the presence of someone who may be infected. It's counterproductive to increase your exposure time, mask or no mask, to make your point. But hey, you got your 2 minutes video of "I caught a non-conformist... look at me" virtue signaling.
Oh I agree but even someone just blatantly coughing without covering up if its not in someones face close to them is not a big difference because again, those big droplets go directly onto the ground and do not float, the small droplets go into the air just like if you arent wearing a mask, so if you dont cough or sneeze directly on people with or without a mask thats mostly not what is getting people infected...
This contradicts the argument about smelling farts. Aromas are water-soluble.
I just realized you made this argument even easier to prove. If the virus must be carried on vapor, then breathe into your hand and you should feel the dampness as the vapor quickly evaporates.
Now put on your mask and see if you can feel the water vapor on your hand still.
Then explain to me why the military uses banana oil to check for NBC mask leaks before deployment?
Why can't I smell sulfer in a desert, but I can smell sulfer in higher humidity?
Why does the air in the mountains smell so clean, but just a few hundred feet down, the air has a smell to it?
If a virus can only travel submerged in a droplet of vapor, and a smell does not then how does on object so large that it can be seen with the naked eye pass through a mask without the water vapor in breathe not absorb the smoke?
True. So my question is, what does my mask need to be made out of to stop a droplet? Will a nice airy chiffon fabric suffice?
This is just an image search for cigarette smoke particle size.
So if you find an information source that says cigarette smoke is smaller than .1 micron and that a virus is larger than .0125 microns.
I'd post that.
