[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4479268, member: 63706"] I have been reading actual scientific papers posted on [URL="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/"]National Center for Biotechnology Information[/URL] and Google scholar. The paper you linked to is for clinical settings, not meant as a guideline for the general public. That supports exactly what I've been advocating all along. Leave the masks for the sick and the caregivers. The gen pop doesn't use masks properly, which puts them at greater risk,.and the help masks would give if used correctly is negligible. To top it off, in order to actually get a benefit from.wearing a mask at all, you would have to remove them every ten minutes or so, carefully dispose of the used ones (or seal up for disenfection if reusable), wash your hands, and put on a new one. Masks that keep a space away from the mouth and nose can last longer, but should still be changed out regularly. And as [USER=44954]@DriveInDriveOut[/USER] already pointed out, no one said respiratory illness can't be spread in warm/humid areas. They follow a very predictable pattern of new cases dropping significantly during summer months, and start increasing into fall. If they [I]couldn't [/I]be spread in warm weather, they would die out pretty quickly, or at least be far easier to manage. This is well understood, even by dumb truck drivers. Here's another article from nih.gov about masks. Read through the cited references too, they have more in depth info.
