Now they can do bandanas. Or old t-shirts. Or your run-of-the-mill Hobby Lobby fabric with baby ducklings on it.

The mask created more droplets?

That’s why I wear one.

They just fricked their own mask mandate

The researchers explain how these masks may actually spread more of the virus than not wearing one at all. “We noticed that speaking through some masks (particularly the neck fleece) seemed to disperse the largest droplets into a multitude of smaller droplets ... which explains the apparent increase in droplet count relative to no mask in that case,” they write. These small droplets could prove extremely dangerous in terms of transmission. “Considering that smaller particles are airborne longer than large droplets (larger droplets sink faster), the use of such a mask might be counterproductive,” they add.
This is something that I've wondered for a while. If the mask filter the larger droplets leaving only smaller droplets, do the smaller droplets stay at head level longer for a higher chance of transmission?

Yes
A different article posted on poli board had a chart & explained the differences

I was actually quite surprised to see this article linked on the google finance page.

About damn time someone shows me some science. I can get behind this.

The study proved that cotton masks are effective. But this is the OT and the only thing anyone will remember is the headline that neck gaiters don't work.

So it adds droplets?

experts continue to suggest that if all Americans wore masks, the pandemic could be brought under control “within weeks.
Impossible. Will never happen. Most idiots do not know how to wear a mask properly. Here's just one example.

That's not even possible

Great. I finally found a happy medium when I ordered some of those Mission neck gaiters. I hated wearing a mask but I can deal with wearing a neck gaiter.

frick them. I wear a neck gaiter because it’s acceptable. They are easily the most breathable thing, so I can see where they’re probably not as effective.

Both neck fleeces and bandannas proved ineffective
