You should try using some of that common sense yourself and at least attempt to answer my question.Clearly not LOL but worry not - that large droplets and big chunks of snot fall out of the air and harmlessly to the ground is perhaps not all that obvious .. fortunately you have the MIT study .. that you can study..
now .. the fact that be it your hand .. or a cloth mask .. the fellow behind you in the grocery line is getting a big blast .. .. and in terms of latency in the air ... as the MIT study shows .. won't be much difference between masked and unmasked the micro-particles in both cases are going to float around for quite some time .. and for the mask wearer .. is absolutely no difference if it is someone else who sneezed .. .. you are pulling just as many of those microparticles in through the gaps in the mask .. as someone breathing normally. .. this part common sense .. just have to think a little .. not much ... just a little ..
Love the schoolgirl gossip behind the fence thing though .. the sign of a true debate warrior !
I think it's rather obvious why you haven't answered it.
The MIT study demonstrates that masks do actually help. As another poster already pointed out and explained to you.
Gee, I wonder why anyone covers their mouth when they sneeze or cough at all. It's a mystery to you, apparently. Is hand washing after going to the bathroom also a giant mystery to you?
Perhaps you shouldn't be imploring others to utilize common sense when you don't seem capable of it yourself.
