With all these high-profile Twitter accounts posting Bitcoin 'giveaways' I expect to hear something interesting about it in the morning.

Potentially NSFW 

This is how it's done, look at the end of the LGBT agenda. It couldn't survive without stereotypes!

@blight True. I mean it's not like they're hurting anyone lol! I'm fine with people wearing masks so long as they actually understand what they can do for you or not.

sure, we're not so sophisticated with membrane tech yet, but we're getting there

selective membranes/filters that block somethings but not others are not trivial

@realcaseyrollins
@realcaseyrollins I can't recall if there's any for this particular one (SARS-CoV-2) but there are studies as far back as 2008 that indicate that homemade masks are effective at reducing the likelihood of getting a respiratory infection.

As far as materials are concerned, this was posted today. https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-best-mask-or-diy-face-covering-for-covid-19/

@blight

@blight Some way, perhaps. But I still doubt they're effective in any substantial way except in stopping spread through spittle and sneezes.

@lnxw37a2 @realcaseyrollins @Feddylain Almost feels like some politicians have entered the same area of the public eye usually occupied by movie stars and musicians.

@tk @lnxw37a2 @Feddylain nah mean, people don't believe politicians. They only believe the . So they'll believe a politician insofar as the tells them to. Otherwise there'd be a lot more fans of politicians on all sides and citizens would never complain about their government officials.

@realcaseyrollins i mean, it was theatre even if they didn't say that because noone is checking what mask anyone is wearing.
@realcaseyrollins Sup Casey, hope your doing well.
The cloth face masks are honestly mostly to prevent people from spitting/coofing on each other.

You get infected by getting a certain amount of the virus inside your body. There's a threshold amount that the virus has to reach before it really starts affecting you. A single virus cell isn't enough to typically infect someone. This is why people are advicating to go outside more, because the ambient wind blows away the COVID virus before it reaches a meaningful threshold.

COVID can get in your body through any mucous membrane. That's stuff like around your eyes, nose and mouth (among other things).
To transfer from one person to another, the virus typically needs to be transferred by something. Typically this is liquid droplets created by coughing or speaking.

The main purpose of a cloth face mask is to catch these liquid droplets in them and prevent them from flying onto surfaces or other peoples faces, etc.

N-95 masks are really cool and actually go a step above being a physical barrier, they actually use electrostatic properties to trap virus molecules in the mask. (The N-95 means it captures 95% of particles)

This is really good for environments were you know you're going to be exposed to sick people, like a hospital. But they have to be worn with other protective gear like face shields or goggles and gloves, since having someone cough in your eyes can infect you as easily as breathing in someones cough. You also can't really reuse or wash the N-95 masks because it makes them lose their electrostatic properties.

So yeah, N-95 masks are quite a bit better than plain face coverings and are meant to protect their wearer, but they have to be worn absolutely correctly.

(I'm not a doctor) Fun N-95 video: https://youtu.be/eAdanPfQdCA

@blight But my point is we don't have any evidence that cloth masks stop the particles. Do we? Has a study been done proving that to be the case?

Whats the point of having federation if you are just going to block whole instances. You might as well just stop posting to the fedi and write your opinions in a text file on your desktop.
