where is anyone ever going to be in the presence of 60-140nm sized particles of covid19 outside of perhaps certain medical procedures ?

You are most likely to be exposed to covid19 via large particles such as are emitted when people cough or sneeze.

Yep. You should have read the link before you posted it. But most of it is over your head anyway.
The larger problem with people randomly throwing on face masks is fit. WE get fit tested every year for all the masks we use including N95s. WE are not supposed to use a style we have not been fit tested for.

My medical knowledge is completely up to date!

Unfortunately, the date it's up to is 9 April 1874.

Earlier this month I got 82% on the FR exam without studying.Most of the ones I got wrong were on the bureaucratic questions where the correct answer when you are trying to save someone's life would be"Who gives a flyn ****". Unfortunately that answer was never on the list of options.

uummm aerosols can occur in particles smaller than 60 nm even from human sources.
But masks probably help people feel better that they can be protected.
Perhaps you should stfu and learn instead of yapping off.

I'm not the one on the internet explaining to people that N95 masks are not effective against COVID19 when in fact they are.

uummm I guess you've never heard of the placebo effect.

sure they work.............. to keep out particulates 300nm and bigger. Not so much for particulates smaller than 300 nm.

I didn't say they were ineffective. I said they are 95% effective against particulates of 300 nm and larger. I suggest you learn to read and understand English.

N95 filter out 95% of particulates 300nm or larger. Covid-19 are 60–140 nm.

here is what you said

lmao Here lemme grab a crayon so I can draw you a picture you can understand.

and when asked what you meant by it here is what you said

AnnaE · Mar 25, 2020

I said that. Where in those comments did I say the N95s are ineffective?
I remind YOU of what YOU said: "I'm not the one on the internet explaining to people that N95 masks are not effective against COVID19 when in fact they are."

Yes I am the one saying that N95 masks are an effective and important tool in the war against this sickness, and anyone getting these masks to the doctors and researchers who badly need them is performing a public service.

Hey! You two settle down, or I'll have to take my belt off!

And nobody wants to see that.

Do you want T-bones to turn this thread around and take you 2 back home?
