I dunno about that. Early on in all of this everyone was focused on using copious amounts of hand sanitizer and how many days that the virus would survive on this or that surface. "Experts" like Faucci, WHO.. were saying that masks -especially effective masks-- were not needed to be worn by the general population.

I was early in speculating that this virus was likely in the air around any shedding. But that was back when everyone was freaked out about having enough ventilators. Not enough bandwidth for most to consider that the "experts" were playing politics with information.

Airborne transmission: Airborne transmission is infection spread through exposure to those virus-containing respiratory droplets comprised of smaller droplets and particles that can remain suspended in the air over long distances (usually greater than 6 feet) and time (typically hours).

No evidence at this point that it acts in this manner with the POSSIBLE exception being enclosed spaces with inadequate ventilation. Your feelings about what constitutes "airborne transmission" do not match what actual people who study transmission define it as.

"Droplet transmission consists of exposure to larger droplets, smaller droplets, and particles when a person is close to an infected person. Airborne transmission consists of exposure to smaller droplets and particles at greater distances or over longer times."

And that's why the CDC hasn't revised their recommendations. Droplet transmission through close contact is considered the greatest risk of exposure and transmission.

This is well documented at this point.

Instead, this selfish piece of garbage mocks with "magic shields"
**** you.

It's vile ignorant trash like you who
spread misinformation that are the problem.
You will get what you deserve.

Wow. vile ignorant trash you claim.. That claim sure does paint you as classy.

I have one word for you.

Nonsense. Silly cloth masks have failed everywhere they have been tried.

We are done here.

I don't see anything new here, nor do I see anything productive coming from extending this.
