“The volume of air is still released but not as far” sounds a lot like what


I was saying with regards to masks keeping particles from traveling as far. Glad you agree.

I’m not assuming anything. Airflow matters but can actually be a good thing which is why being outside is better.

“ The only effective way is to filter the particles”

Completely and totally false. That’s the MOST effective way. It is by no means the “only” one. Again no one is arguing that masks are 100% effective. The point is that they help along with other precautions such as distancing, keeping away from crowded areas particularly indoors, etc. Seatbelts aren’t 100% effective but we still use them. And we still put in airbags along with them. Doesn’t mean it’s impossible to die in a car accident just that it helps reduce the risk.
