Same as flu?
Ok. Let’s find out what you know about the flu.
First, tell us which whether flu has a protein coat, whether covid has a protein coat, and the role of a protein coat in hardening a virus. This will affect whether isolated virus particles can spread through the mask.
Once you have done that, tell us whether flu likes larger or smaller water drops, whether covid likes larger or smaller droplets, and how particle size affects the probability that a water particle will be diverted by the dipole interactions with those hydrophilic bits.
You can do it! It’s just like Milliken’s oil drop experiment, except the particles are different sizes. That gives you a square/cube law problem, because goes by the cube of the radius, but dipole moment is different….
Next, show us your aging study about masks and influenza source control. We’ll want to know the size of the study, and the error bounds on the estimated effect on transmissibility. You should be able to find something like “95% confident that the effect of masks is between negative 57% and positive 45%”. If you’re really lucky, they will tell you the size of the effect the stidy was capable, and not capable, of finding. For example, the Dutch study was designed to detect a 50% decrease in transmission to the wearer. ( It failed to do so. )
I’ll bet that you haven’t a clue how to do any of that.
Provide a link to your silly smoking gun email. We can read it for you and tell you what they were really saying.
