your mask wearing correlation with infections based upon race helps but the expectation that submicron air filtration alone delivers "adequate" protection is only relevant in the face of a continuous high concentration aerosol suspension - and this is only expected in the COVID 19 hospital ward.  Elsewhere, do expect flumes that dissipate rather than clouds that persist.  the concentration of virus inhaled is also directly related to the infection potential: i.e. a single particle inhaled does not cause the disease, but a plurality of virus particles inhaled does usually result in illness.

so functionally speaking cloth masks are fine, and yes the behavioral changes of not touching your face while in public wearing your mask is also contributing to a more resistant community.

basically the mask provides a modicum of protection that is reflected in the figures: where more mask wearers represent communities with lower infection and less mask wearers represent communities with greater infection rates.

in the covid wards full PPE is required and there are special protocols for safe doff and don of the PPE.

I agree with some of that, but if there is a concern about a deadly pathogen, don't you want to do whatever you can to make sure you don't contract it? Depending on the non N95 material I've read between 70 and 30% effective. That's the material itself, not how it's worn. Surgical masks are meant to protect against splatter and have large gaps at the nose and sides of the mouth. One is basically breathing in the exact same air they would if they weren't wearing a mask. But that's acceptable and gives you a pass! It's been shown that some thin materials like bananas actually break up large droplets into smaller ones, making them a better delivery system for the virus. That's acceptable. And while there's some logic in not touching one's face, putting on and taking off masks, adjusting them etc. seems problematic, but I've also read articles suggesting it's overwhelmingly contracted via the air.

Who knows for sure though right?

I've looked at various polls. One taken in April suggests 14% more democrats wore masks (73%/59%). Asian Americans wore masks at the highest rate while white people wore them at the lowest rate. (82%/66%) with latinos and blacks in the low 70s. It wasn't included in the poll but I suspect women are much more likely to wear a mask than men.

N95 will stop sub micron particles, https://www.honeywell.com/en-us/newsroom/news/2020/03/n95-masks-explained


And probably any fiber will to some extent as all will contains some charge on the surface of the fibers, all will act a percipitator. As the smaller particles will be buffeted by Brownian force on their way through the fabric of the mask increasing the likelyhood of sticking to a fiber, thicker masks will increase efficiency of capture.

"Herd mentality exactly. It's about feelings and social acceptance and"...  :thumbup:




and Herd mentality is just another  form of cowardice  --  and I must ask my dead sister's forgiveness for not standing up to my father's cruelty and hypocrisy, when we were kids, when he would grab her by the wrist at the dinner table, and slam her whole forearm and elbow down into the table for not obeying and having good manners and keeping her elbows off the table. And this drama repeated night after night ....  and mother.....  did nothing that put a stop to it either.

And part of fear, is always the fear of feeling my own pain. The pain of having a father so wounded, he cannot feel his own pain, and inflicts it on his own child.

I wonder what retreats mean to it

like in terms of how close to being as good as meditation is

it would be fun to do it and find out and walk around and talk about it

young salvia friend!

Once you find the way, you want to return frequently and regularly.
This is more important than staying at the gate all day long.

I would emphasize flexibility, persistence through time, and resilience in dharma/nature study more so than long immersions and periods of no observance or letting it all go to pot.

Anyone keep track of the numbers at the arcgis website?

France for instance, was reporting 500 - 1000 deaths per day during the first wave. They are reporting a second wave. The number of daily infections is now slightly higher than the first wave, about 5000 cases per day. Reported daily deaths averages about 10.

The reported death rate is now 100 times less than the first wave. It was being reported at 10%. Now it's .1 percent.

Anyone think that's peculiar?
