"during speech, sneezing, or coughing."

So the mask brigade wasn't already covering their mouth and nose during sneezing and coughing? But the rest of us are the problem?

From the abstract - you know, the summary at the top:

"We have demonstrated a simple optical measurement method to evaluate the efficacy of masks to reduce the transmission of respiratory droplets during regular speech."

Also from the abstract:

" Our measurement setup is inexpensive and can be built and operated by non-experts, allowing for rapid evaluation of mask performance during speech, sneezing, or coughing."

Your need to rely on belittling my intelligence is telling.

At this point it's your MO on this board. If COVID staff gave a damn about the site's user agreement you'd get a ban.

You think 94chem was belittling you, but you weren't belittling the people and the science that support mask wearing?

As to the people, how would you term a group of people attacking another group wanting to be left alone?

As to the science, post some. I'm yet to see anything that directly and conclusively refutes any of a ton of studies done on respiratory virus transfer pre-covid politicization of the idea.

It's a pandemic - perhaps you should re-evaluate whether or not anything you're doing is "alone".

Bizarre. And a little twitchy.

There have been some studies lately about how this is making everyone (on every side) mad as hell.

Should make for a fun fall
