To what extent does a breathable face mask protect the user from an airborne virus? 0 My nephew who is a pathologist says that face masks are almost of no benefit and protecting you from getting the virus. Avoiding close contact and touching people and things are much more important along with constant repeated hand washing and sanitizing. And not touching your face if you have touched something else that other people away from your home may have touched. He says if you are wearing a face mask you should not be out. However I have to pick up people from the airport over the next 2 days from Thailand and I will wait for them outside the terminal building and I will wear a face mask. I will then sanitise their hands and offer them a new face mask before I let them in the car. And of course I will sanitise the suitcase handles.

Virus spread is much more curtailed if some one with the virus is coughing and sneezing into the mask, instead of projecting virus up to two metres away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a face mask is regarded as a courtesy. By wearing a face mask if you absolutely have to go out public, you are showing consideration for others and not breathing in their face. Anyone can be a carrier and not know it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orton Rd Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Face mask stops you from touching your mouth and nose with possibly virus laden hands, why can't people see the benefit in that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IE some protection is better than no protection Edited March 23, 2020 by speckio rewording 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
