Hello Alexader,

 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
 ak>>> against them.

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

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

 ak> A funny story was shown in the news. In some hospital the medics keep a
 ak> habit to applaud to the patient when he had recovered from covid19 and
 ak> he is leaving the hospital. But all the medics and that recovered
 ak> patient were wearing masks during that applause. It shows well how much
 ak> we can believe them.  ;=)

There is so much uncertainty about this virus that nobody seems
to know what they are talking about.

 ak> PS: But anyway it is well known that medical masks save only from snotty
and
 ak> coughing people... if they wear them.

That is what the CDC and health professionals have been telling
everybody.  But since so few in this country have been tested, the
recommendation is for everybody to wear a mask in public.  Better
to be safe than sorry approach.

So what do politicians do?  Open the beaches and let everybody
play outside.  Even with a stay at home lockdown order in place.

Now somebody tell me that makes sense.
