Hello Alexander,

 LL>> Not wearing a mask is suicidal.  Since most people want to live,
 LL>> I would expect those who are sane to wear a mask.  At least in
 LL>> public. Except for Donald Trump, who has publicly stated he
 LL>> will not wear a mask.

 ak> Big cough drops drop down quickly. In the air there are only micro
 ak> disperse drops (similar to vapour) and medicine masks are useless

The novel coronavirus is not thought to be airborne (aerosol).  But
nothing is certain.  Wearing a cloth mask is thought to offer some
limited protection to those who are not sick, if those who are sick
are wearing such a mask.  The idea being that any large droplets
would be caught by those wearing a mask, rather than infecting those
who are not.

Problem is nobody knows who is and is not sick.  In which case
everybody (except for Trump) should wear a mask.  Or so we have
been told here in the USA.

 ak> The infected people without symptoms don't cough and sneeze, and they
 ak> breathe out only micro disperse drops that go through simple medical
 ak> masks freely. It is a false idea that mask prevent such people from
 ak> infecting others.

That may be.  But we have been told, so we must obey.  Except
for Trump, who marches to the beat of his own drum.

 ak> Wearing a respirator-mask is a criminal act in the streets if you are
 ak> infected. Such respirator-masks have a valve that pass out you breath
 ak> freely (together with big infected drops).

As long as it is not an orange mist we might survive.  Otherwise,
it was nice knowing you.
