You stay safe as well, Jolly. And everyone else stay safe too.

The problem with satire these days is that there are a lot of imbeciles out there who do not recognize it.

I wonder how the people around him resist the temptation to push his head into the toilet and pull his underpants over his head.

Show me in the article where it explains the scientific basis for masks being ineffective.

I am mask-agnostic, being of the mind "it couldn't hurt," and so I wear one any time I'm out of the house.
However, the burden of proof is that you have to show that they work.

However, the burden of proof is that you have to show that they work.I've read several articles and even watched a VR simulation of droplet & aerosol spreading, showing how masks of various fiber densities are effective in dampening the spread. It's not like this shit's a secret.

I'm not disagreeing with what you said, and, once again, I think people should mask.
But my point is that models of aerosol spread, etc don't necessarily reflect effectiveness in preventing spread. What happens in a petri dish isn't necessarily what happens in the real world.

So how could the physics be such that masks don't prevent spread? How does that look scientifically? To make it clear I'm talking N95s.
