Mask wearing seems to have acquired culture war or political significance, beyond scientific or medical facts. Like wearing a MAGA hat or a BLM shirt or gang colors.
So maybe it’s another topic like religion and politics that we need to just walk away from on this list? Although it does factor into our business practices.

Basically the infected person breathes into/coughs into/sneezes into mask which holds droplets infected with virus. Since the mask doesn’t filter virus sized particles, the mask wearer breathing out is like putting a small fan behind an infected surface, spewing micro droplets into the air. If no mask, larger droplets fall faster rather than float in the air. Similar to what Steve is saying, but for non-N95 masks. If air is getting in, air is also getting out through the mask pushing virus out. Seems like the fancy air diffuser the boss has to make the house smell good, but for virus. No science behind this at all, just musing 😊 Regards, David Coudron From: AF mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com On Behalf Of Steve Jones Sent: Friday, June 26, 2020 2:05 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group mailto:af@af.afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Unifying dislike the irony of the N95 masks with ports is they have the unfiltered low impedance exhaust port, actually "spreads" the disease more since the air velocity is increased. Just call your meeting a protest anyway, then you dont need to wear a mask since this doesnt spread at protests On Fri, Jun 26, 2020 at 1:26 PM Ken Hohhof <af...@kwisp.com <mailto:af...@kwisp.com> > wrote: Chuck, are these business meetings with your own employees, or outside people? Can you hold the meetings outside and stay 6 feet from each other? Although being outside probably increases the probability of shouting and, if you have allergies, sneezing. Imagine being a nurse/doctor/dentist/etc and wearing one of the tight-fitting N95 masks (plus probably goggles) for a 12 hour shift, day after day. The ones that leave marks on your face.

However, one particular feeling might be universally held amongst humans. I am finding I really hate wearing masks during business meetings. I will do it until the virus is no longer a factor, but I do not like masks. I do not like to wear a mask over my mouth and nose. I am sure someone somewhere would say they do, but that would be an odd person. _____ -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com _____ -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
