Hill wimp looks much better in a mask

Hello decadence
Hill wimp looks much better in a mask
That is a tad ambiguous......much better than Fabbers? Much better than she looks without a mask? Either way you are in serious trouble, Potsy.

My problem with mask wearing is it's giving people the wrong impression. That they are now safe and therefore reach over or round you in the supermarket etc.
Someone at work wears one and constantly comes within the 2 metre area.
It's also true that whilst stopping the "forward" spray it's highly likely that since few people wear them properly or for too long, once they are wet the spray comes out of the sides.
Bottom line; "Stay the Frell away from me and vice versa!"

This was mentioned in the various studies as a possible reason for masks having such poor effects.
We have loads of them and it's what we'll be using. Much more comfortable and versatile than a mask. A buff is also long enough to fold over (double) itself with a sheet of coffee filter/kitchen paper to act as additional filter.

Hello decadence
Would you care to point me to those studies (a link or a reference would be fine)........my wife, who has published widely on this, is looking for serious studies which show this and has been unable to find them.

Hello decadence
Your post mentioned studies which showed that masks have a poor effect. I just wondered which studies these were.....my wife has been trying to find them. I didn't mean to challenge you - I was motivated by curiosity.Woah - I'm claiming NO expertise! Happy to be outranked by the expert

I think you posted a report a few days ago that was a meta-study; IIRC that found some studies showed minimal benefits. And that's why in the early days of this, hardly anyone was recommending face-masks for the public.
Otherwise we are talking at cross-porpoises ...
Rocky
Hello decadence
I think we are at cross-porpoises - the study I posted showed varying degrees of benefits but no harms (direct or indirect). Studies showing harms are often cited by critics but on examination, they don't stand up to scrutiny (either poorly designed, wrong setting, different virus etc etc) and I genuinely wondered if you knew of anything robust. If you do find something, I'd be grateful if you let me know
