Note the difference between bacteria and viruses.
Size.
That's why those chinese masks you wear filter only 98% of BACTERIA (so your chinese friends claim), not viruses.
Educate yourself.
And what size are the water droplets, expelled from the nose and mouth, in which the virus is carried?
Oh.
You don't know.
Because you haven't grasped that the virus is transmitted in droplets of water.
If you ever care enough, you can educate yourself.
But I don't suppose you do, or will.
Face coverings, smart rze.

No, I am referring particularly to masks.
Bandanas, scarves, balaclavas etc have quite poor performance.
dumb ass
A valved mask is nowhere near as good at reducing transmission.
The league table of the 14 masks tested (picture number):
1. N95 mask, no exhalation valve, fitted (14)
2. Surgical mask (1)
3. Cotton-polypropylene-cotton mask (5)
4. Two-layer polypropylene apron mask (4)
5. Two-layer cotton, pleated style mask (13)
6. Two-layer cotton, pleated style mask (7)
7. N95 mask with exhalation valve (2)
8. Two-layer cotton, Olston style mask (8)
9. One-layer Maxima AT mask (6)
10. One-layer cotton, pleated style mask (10)
11. Two-layer cotton, pleated style mask (9)
12. Knitted mask (3)
13. Bandana (12)
14. Gaiter type neck fleece (11)

I think this one....
...would work for you.
As you wouldn't even know you were wearing it.

The size of a virus particle is of little significance, there could be a million particles in a single droplet of saliva. Anything in front of your mouth or nose that can reduce any amount of those droplets will help, even your own hand. If it means my cucumber/apples/supermarket trolley handles have less droplets of saliva on them, great that could actually reduce the spread. I can't even begin to grasp why people think it is such a hardship to wear a face covering?

Unfortunately, it takes a certain level of intelligence to understand the benefits.
Mask-less Covid denier ryler wears a dust mask at work. You could not make it up.
I'm sure you don't seriously believe that a knitted scarf is a valuable aid to infection control.

On a very basic level, we're taught as little children to cover our mouths when coughing & sneezing..
And no, it's no hardship. Some people are just precious idiots.

My palm on my face when JohnD gets all uppity in his posts.
My father's at the angry and negative about everything stage. So going on the evidence, Ryler must be about 87.5 years old.
