Egytians, and more generally muslims, are by far some of the nicest people i ever met. I will admit their laws are oppressive and all, but they truly are caring people most of the time. The one guy that works at this hotel made me a special dinner to try to raise my spirits, he even went out of his way to track down some pasta. I cant eat even half of all this food but my god it was good.
Apparently "think of the children!" Is the current strategy to justify violating your privacy rights, its disgusting.
#2 is debatable. It wouldnt need to spread from surface to mask. It would also be able to spread via captured droplets. The mask is filtering the ir, this means a high degree of infected droplets are constantly being captured by the mask.
To #1 Id say the increase is overwhelming. Normally with a mask every sip of your drink you must touch the mask and usually incidentally your face, something you wouldn't do without a mask,.
#2 we covered.
#3 is not entierly true either. even if the lower spread to the environment was significant, but non-zero, it can easily be offset and reversed by a significant increase in your ability to be infected yourself.
Several ways. First it encourages people to touch their face more as it can be uncomfortable and usally causes people to fidget or itch their nose.
It also means you have to touch an infected mask and face everytime you drink or eat causing your hand and face to spread.
Moreover masks are only supposed to be used for a few hours at a time, so if they arent washed and reused they become particularly infectious
@spazzpp2 I am convinced masks increase the spread of disease when worn by the general public, probably significantly so. Which puts a lot of this in question.
