Evidence that proves masks stop viruses

Crocodile said:
Viruses spread through host fluids, troll boy. A mask doesn't let them escape, it's that fucking simple. If one is so dense they can't figure that one out they might as well put on a loincloth and start pounding rocks. I've seen Kindergarteners that can put that together. You wear a mask to stop you from transmitting. Protection for you is only slight if you're wearing a mask but an infected person isn't. It's called being a humane, decent, and a responsible human being.

The opening post specifies to exclude allegations. This is an allegation.

We need a thread here that documents all the evidence that proves that masks stop viruses. Not propaganda to support and defend the use of masks, just evidence that proves masks stop viruses. Please list any evidence that proves masks stop viruses. Not allegations, gish gallop, or propaganda, just evidence like a solid explanation of how masks stop a virus with some substantiating data. Not statistics, just evidence. Links to other sites that contain the evidence are fine as long as you can quote the actual evidence that you are linking to in the post with the link. If you can't quote the evidence in a post where you provide a link then you are only linking to where you wish the evidence is. Ok folks, let's see the evidence!

They stop you from spreading your germs that's what they are designed for that's what they have been used for, for decades.

They don't stop you from getting a virus.

There are some rather nice pictures for those that can't understand simple explanations.

This would be for virus size particles:



The 3M white paper lists sources which leads us to this...
https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/air-filtration



So masks don't rely on the size of the holes. They use several methods for blocking particles and the smallest particles are actually blocked at a greater rate then the .1 to 1 micron particles.

It sounds like you are acknowledging that the virus is smaller than the opening of a mask, but that browning motion in the holes stops viruses. How does browning motion "stop" all viruses from passing through a mask, and what kind of mask provides brownian motion filtration?

That is what masks do. Along with separation, Corona could have been ended or been slashed way,way back.. Trump did not want to do that. His desire to continue along with the opened stores and businesses because he figured that was his best shot to win in Nov. We have the most Corona cases in the world by far. That is due to Trump's "leadership". Trump has pushed for opening up because the appearance of normalcy was his friend. The risk was citizens' lives and health. It was an easy decision for him. Let them eat hydroxy.

Ok then, it sounds like you are saying that masks don't stop viruses.

Masks cant do it because inhalation does not represent 100% of the sources. They help a little leaving less spit on random surfaces.
Realistically they have no idea how any individual catches it.

Absolutely and aerosolized virus can penetrate a mask.
What masks do is protect other people from your germs to a degree.

Your willful ignorance is nothing but willful ignorance at this point. Remain stupid since that appears to be what you want to do. Go read the document if you want to educate yourself. As I stated earlier, it even has pictures for people like you. Do you need crayons to go with the pictures? Anyone that makes comments about the virus being smaller than the opening of the mask is a complete idiot especially if they do so after being presented with sources that clearly explain how the masks actually work (with pictures).

Brownian motion and the filter material stops 99% or more of particles less than .1 micron in an N95 mask. Do you even know the size of virus in microns?

The biggest risk of infection is based on viral load. Who do you think is more likely to get infected? Someone that gets 100% of the virus in the air or someone that gets less than 1%? Even simple cloth masks have been shown to have an 80% reduction of aerosols. Who do you think is more likely to get infected? Someone that gets 100% of the virus in the air or someone that gets 20%?

I fully expect you to completely ignore the science because it doesn't fit your idiotic internal narrative. Ask your next stupid question because you refused to read the assigned material. Your teachers must have talked about you a lot in the teacher's lounge.

You are telling me and linking to the same stuff that I have been trained and tested on for decades, but you have not posted evidence that proves masks, even the n95 mask that nobody can even buy, stops viruses. I clearly stated in the opening post that I did not need a link to where you wish the evidence was.
 
Ten points to anybody who can summarize what evidence has been posted to this thread that proves masks stop viruses.

Will trumps virus cure stop ALL COVID??

Since you have acknowledged that masks dont stop viruses, I'll run with you on your evasion of the thread topic. Which virus cure are you referring to? I am not familiar with "trump's virus cure".
