And yet, this article is yet another publication of individuals not actually studying the effect of mask use. No one has actually put a mask up in front of a source with the pathogen and studied what actually got thru it! You just promoted another misleading article that does little more than steal the results of other studies that just did systematic reviews. Come on, someone actually do the real research like a real scientist.

  I'm not sure that's true. I seem to remember a study with mice and one with hairdressers, both involving the virus, but I could be wrong. At any rate, even if the mask material being tested partially blocks the virus, the issues are whether the mask is sealed, cleaned, switched out, and used properly in other ways--none of which practices are commonly followed by the general public.
