Masks go on a scale of how much they filter out, ppf 1, ppf2, ppf3 the last being the best filter for small airborne particles and in theory the best for viruses if you can breath through them without passing out ( can be a bit like being at altitude)
now people making masks from they’re underpants, socks and old T-shirts that’s on the WTF scale rated on a scale of how fast your going to die
fact is without proper training and proper fit to face they are debatable, the outside of the mask may become contaminated and you mishandle it, if not made from the correct material it becomes a damp medium collecting anything in the air not just Coronavirus, if a virus is in the air bad enough for you to wear a mask it’s already all over your clothes
it’s about the viral dose you get, small dose body fights and eventually wins over, big dose body overwhelmed virus wins, we all breath out moisture it travels through the air and settles on surfaces more when we talk, shout or cough, the more people or more confined the space the more potential to come in contact with it, have you ever walked up the street and smelled someone’s vape pen? Cigarette smoke? You just inhaled what they breathed out!
any precautions are worth taking, cleanliness and sanitisers the best but this thing is going nowhere and it’s basically a lottery
stay safe everyone! On a lighter note my 83 year old mum got it in hospital, she’s home now after six weeks and all clear ?
