Masks don’t work. Aerosol travels very far regardless of the barrier. Your breath goes around it and for the percent that goes through it, the virus doesn’t stick to the mask anyways. These loony faggots that assume masks work assume a few things:

  1. Majority of the breath goes through the mask
  2. Exhaled aerosol doesn’t travel very far
  3. The majority of the viral load gets stuck on the mask material

The only way physics even allows the first point is with energy input into the less permeable barrier due to the fluid nature. Otherwise it’s a violation of the law of conservation of energy to maintain volumetric fluid velocity through the less permeable barrier. The second point can be proven wrong by even looking at heat signatures but it spreads even further than the heat signature anyways; in a given room with other persons you are breathing in their exhaled particles even much further than 6 ft regardless of mask. The third point is easily wrong considering particle size.

It’s almost like heat and air take the path of least resistance or something
