54 months. That's how long I've been masking every shift in the hospital. I've had one infection of ANY kind during that time, ONE, in January '22 when Omicron overwhelmed my hospital & we had 300 covid positive inpatients. Respirators work, but you gotta wear them consistently.

Here is a masking study that's based on my recent forecast that was through January 8th. These are various levels of masking compliance using N95's with a 78% prevention rate. Do you think we should mask more? MAPS thinks so. Even if we could get to 15% it'd make a big difference

A new study in The Lancet demonstrates that face coverings dramatically reduce the load of SARS-CoV-2 in exhaled breath from infected persons. The reductions reached as high as 98 percent, with variations according to the type of face covering worn.

I haven’t been sick in 4 years, 1 month, and 21 days. The only difference in my life between now and 2019 is… masking in public.

“I haven’t been sick in 4 years, 1 month, and 21 days. The only difference in my life between now and 2019 is… masking in public.

For the last ~2 years, I’ve felt healthier and more clear-headed than at ANY other point in my entire 31 year life.

Do people ENJOY sickness? WTF?!”

“I see about 150-200 patients a week, many of them with hoarking coughs, right in my face. And I didn't catch a single thing from them. Masks in health care settings is just common sense.”

Contrary to disinformation about masks on this site, we get enough oxygen to train hard, we don't get poisoned by CO2, nobody has gotten ill from breathing bacteria. Genuine commitment is immune to insults and name-calling.

Relative efficacy of masks and respirators as source control for viral aerosol shedding from people infected with SARS-CoV-2: a controlled human exhaled breath aerosol experimental study
Relative efficacy of masks and respirators as source control for viral aerosol shedding from people infected with SARS-CoV-2: a controlled human exhaled breath aerosol experimental study

New study suggests healthcare workers should wear N95 masks when respiratory infections are high.

Wearing an N95 reduced viruses in exhaled breath by 98% vs ~70% for surgical masks.

Excited to update everyone on OpenRespirator. First step was to build the tools to make a mask. We developed a tool set which allows prototyping in silicone and co-molded plastic for $30 with one time capital cost of $4K, and of course all open-source!

Scientists trying to develop a mask that lights up when it detects the Coronavirus. it’s in the 1st phase –They hope to develop the detector’s design so that the sensors can be embedded into any mask.They hope to show in coming weeks the method works

Covid: Masks upgrade cuts infection risk, research finds

The study concludes that "cases attributed to ward-based exposure fell significantly, with FFP3 respirators providing 31-100% protection (and most likely 100%) against infection from patients with Covid-19".

Slight reduction in SARS-CoV-2 exposure viral load due to masking results in a significant reduction in transmission with widespread implementation
Slight reduction in SARS-CoV-2 exposure viral load due to masking results in a significant reduction in transmission with widespread implementation

A published math simulation showed reduction in SARS-CoV-2 viral load via masks in June 2021. Source: https://nature.com/articles/s41598-021-91338-5

In 2022: “most fabric masks provide some protection for the wearer from aerosols exhaled by others and dried to ambient humidity, reducing inhaled viral load by ∼20% when leaky and by ∼70% if sealed.”
