Physicists Recommend Outdoor Mask Usage To Prevent COVID Infections

Posted by JayZeeBMT on Wed Oct 13 05:50:27 2021

Study shows how COVID viruses are carried by the wind.

A few Physicists Recommend Outdoor Mask Usage To Prevent COVID Infections. Just a study. The wind actually would dissipate the virus into small non infectious doses. As a matter of fact (my opinion) by now almost everyone has gotten some non-infectious doses and have some degree of immunity. That's basically why in my opinion the numbers are much smaller than 2020.

1. I went out a lot, always with a mask on, throughout 2020. I was mildly sick at one point and figured I'd gotten some immunity. Late in the year I went for a routine doctor's visit and he did blood tests anyway. Zero covid antibodies in the blood.

2. Thank goodness the numbers have been coming down recently, but at their peak a month ago they rivaled the prior peaks.

Wouldn't this also apply to any virus?

But some viruses are much more infectious than others.

Of course. That's why we don't wear masks when a random flu comes around but do wear them for covid, which is both more infectious and more deadly than almost every flu.

Why laugh?

A physicist can deal with the wind and such things.

A physician would deal with the affects.

There was an article published by a group of MIT students and faculty on this same subject around March 2020 that did not cover wind effects. This was at the time when Covid transmission was thought to be by touching contaminated surfaces or through droplets. The MIT article examined aerosol transmission for particles the same size and weight as the coronavirus. One conclusion was that such particles would remain suspended in air about 12 feet from where it was emitted, not the 6 feet assumed for droplets.

I don't know to what extent, the initial advice given by various health authorities may have been influenced by political decisions. Woodward's book stated that Trump informed him of Covid's aerosol transmission back in February 2020. The various health authorities did not consider aerosols to be the primary infection mechanism until around July of 2020.

Wouldn't this also apply to any virus?

The physical travel would apply to any particle of the same size and weight of the coronavirus. Whether such particles cause illness depends on what happens when they are inhaled. Different viruses react differently, when they enter the nasal passages.

I was outside all the time last year maskless (oh the horror), went to out door dining restaurants (LI) last June once allowed, and indoor a few weeks later, at least 2 times a week, right to the present, and never had antibodies in the blood. I did get the vaccine by March, and haven't worn a mask since (aside from doctors office where required by the Demicrats), and a trip to the NYC museum if history (where mask is required by the Democrats). F these kasks

Because it was a select few in this particular study. It's not "all physicists as implied by the propaganda title

Working as a background extra they make us wear masks, even outside. And that includes shows that make you show proof of vaccination to work. Production has mask nazis going around making sure you have one on correctly. Some are apologetic saying "it's their job". Other than that I wear it at the doctors and partially (nose exposed) on the LIRR & the subway. Also I had to wear one outside at the Coney Is Aquarium and the Freedom Tower Observation Deck. I was in the Jet Blue arrival terminal maskless at LaGuardia for an hour picking up my wife and nobody said a word. I had to pick up my youngest at the Port Authority Bus Terminal from college and was wearing my mask until I saw half the employees not wearing so I took it off. I'll be going for the booster sometime this month.

Why?

He's posted stuff indicating he works for Marsh McLennan. I don't think they hire chemical engineers or chemists.

There's most probably some immunity even after the antibodies dissipate.

OK.

Maybe a year ago he posted something that seemed like an internal Marsh McLennan web page.

Of course, possibly both are true.

Probably.

On the other hand, some people have gotten incredibly sick, and even died, on their second case of covid.

This disease is so sneaky - it doesn't follow any consistent rules.

aside from doctors office where required by the Demicrats

The doctors I go to don't require masks because it's the law, but because they want to protect their patients.

That's because much of NYC, as well as production is "of the left".

No, because it's financially ruinous if a production gets a case of covid.

People are shoulder to shoulder at sporting events, etc, yet Biden standing next to Congress members all masked up is terribly contagious, or a bunch of people on a movie set.

If a few audience members get covid a week after the event, no one cares (except Stephen). If a member of the crew gets covid, the production is going to shut down. See Kyrie Irving - nothing to do with the government or the audience - everything to do with preventing games from being canceled.
