Masks work by stopping air particulates that bear viruses. Then wear 2 or 3 of your favorite pink ones with colored flowers and STFU already and leave us alone.

You are wrong. The aerosol particles are so small they go right through a mask. Wearing a mask is unhealthy. All of your mucus that is exhaled is trapped on the inside of the mask and you keep breathing it in and out, very unhealthy. You should cough or sneeze into your elbow.

"Masks work by stopping air particulates that bear viruses." as in "ya can't fix stupid!" acsh.org The CDC's decision to extend the use of masks on airplanes makes little scientific sense. Complete air exchange occurs 20 times an hour; it passes through HEPA filters and is directed downward. A study by the Department of Defense found that the air exchange alone on Boeing 767s and 777s reduced transmission of “viral size” particles by 99%. But, out of an abundance of caution, the public health messaging continues to require masks on all of us because we can not easily or quickly identify asymptomatic transmitters. That is why public policy is *informed* by science but not *based* on science – that is the true meaning of “following the science.”
