Yes. The cloth mask slows your exhaled breath so it stays close to your face until convection takes it up toward the ceiling/sky.
So if it slows your exhaling breath (this leaving more Carbon Dioxide close to your face) it must also slow your inhale. Therefore drawing less oxygen and more carbon dioxide (since its somewhat “trapped” between your mouth and the mask) with every breath.
There was a paper trying to measure that, but it has been withdrawn.
Wouldn't snorkels work much better? It would send the warm breath up and out, (aka redirect the plume) without blocking the inhalation of oxygen. It would also solve LA County's issue with not being able to mask kids for swimming and water polo.
Snorkels would do exactly the same thing.
He is both.
With the delta given the high viral loads that’s a riskier proposition than it was with the prime.There was a paper trying to measure that, but it has been withdrawn.
You can do a swag. A normal resting breath is about 0.5 liters. If your mask traps 100ml of air, then you’re only getting 80% new air.
The rebreathing effect is why I went with lightweight cloth instead of N95. The cloth mask fits tight across my face and doesn’t feel stuffy because it traps a lot less air.
I mostly just avoid any situation where an N95 would be appropriate. If I want to talk to someone, we meet outside.
The Waterloo study would indicate the best use of masks are for short casual interactions indoors. Even if that plum redirects, the cloth masks aren’t going to help you if you are talking face to face with someone outdoors at a wedding, going through a Costco on a busy Sunday, on an airplane with a sick person behind you or in a classroom all day.
I think you’re misinterpreting the Waterloo study, again.
Well I’m trying to salvage a use for cloth masks based on what you outlined above. Short usages in well ventilated areas seem about it. Or we could go with what the Waterloo study suggests: ventilation in most cases is better than cloth masks and cloth masks/surgical masks work poorly in unventilated or crowded spaces compared to better masks. The overall recommendation of the study was if you are going to do masks do better ones which I’ve been saying for quite a while but your side doesn’t want to have that discussion because you’ll know how it goes.
The benefit of cloth masks is simple: they keep you from breathing viral aerosols directly into someone else’s face.
Don't you get the sense that "experts" are tossing things up against the wall and waiting to see what sticks. For every study, there is another study that contradicts, or a study that gets thrown out. Viral load is a great example of a split in opinions and data. Some show/think viral load matters, some think/show viral load can't be correlated to really anything. Frustrating for many "run of the mill" medical professionals. Many tend to ignore these studies and go with their training and deal with the symptoms in front of them. Usually good practice by experienced medical professionals, none of which are on the news networks promoting their books.There was a paper trying to measure that, but it has been withdrawn.

That’s because you are now from the text of your statement at masks outdoors.
I always trust those on the front line over those in the lab.
Don doesn't have kids, he's just another adult that thinks kids should bear the burden to protect adults. Pay to no mind to Lemon, nobody else does, he has one of the lowest rated programs on evening TV.
“Security theater“ is a rhetorical device for claiming something doesn’t help, without actually having to bother providing any evidence for your claim.
My old pal is drinking the Don Lemon kool aid and say's the same shit to me Wat Fly. Millionaire out in Scottsdale, on golf course, retired, two sons with kiddos. 100% white and full of guilt for how he lived before he retired. I'm giving a little back drop for my true story telling. 5 years ago he was out all over AZ preaching HRC and how evil t was. t won and he was went ape shit. I was invited to his bday surprise party. It was a custome party too because his bday falls on Oct 31. I showed up dressed as Trump, I kid you not. His son saw me before I got to the door and told me 100% I ruin the party and he would not let me in. I had to out and find a Lemon mask and I was let in. Fast forward to couple days ago and out of Blue, he emailed me to see how things were in California. I told him the truth like I always do and he was tripping out on me and asked why I cuss now. He told me, "Bill, what is wrong with you. You need to do the jab for your safety, your children's safety and their children's and so on and so onn. He said one of his son's was not listening like me and he finally got the jab. I called his son later to get the real scoop and he said, "my dad basically said if I dont get jab no grandpa anymore ((and his money)) and he was serious so I got it. I'm appalled at how some parents control their kids with money. I told my pal my dd does whatever she feels is best for her and her alone. I dont have any money to control her and even when I thought I did, my dd blazed her trail. She could care a less about a buck. She wants to play one more year of competitive soccer at the highest level possible in club & high school without any interruptions. Girl just wants to play a soccer match, that's it. If some need soccer all to themselves in college, enjoy it all. I honestly have no clue on what my dd will end up doing but whatever she does, it will be all her choice, not daddy. Daddy will not be holding her and coaching her on the calls either. Da da is just a safe place to fall on, cry on and just talk to if want to, whenever you want. If you need a place to sleep, you have a place. Freedom for me should also include freedom for my kids on whatever path they choose. Soon Wat Fly, this will all get better and a MERIT based society will rule. Maritime Law was for Pirates, Cheaters & Liars.
I do.
