    David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Jonathan (Gab/Parler: jcho710)

    It's embarrassing how ignorant fellow physicians like ⁦@drscottjensen⁩ can be. #COVID19 doesn't spread through free-floating viral particles. #SARSCoV2 spreads via virus-containing respiratory droplets, which are MUCH larger. How can a physician be such an ignorant fool?https://twitter.com/jcho710/status/1273924949162340353 …

    "An N-95 mask filters out particulate matter larger than .3 microns. So the question then is how big is a COVID particle. A COVID particle is about .1 micron....this idea of people doing anything particularly useful w...a mask is just LOONEY TUNES." - Sen. Dr. Scott Jenson, M.D. pic.twitter.com/theGouIGVi

        There are only two conclusions one can make from @drscottjensen's scientifically ignorant BS. Either he doesn't know, in which case he is a disgrace to his profession, or he does know and is lying, in which case he is also a disgrace to his profession.

        No one said it isn't airborne. What we said is that it isn't free-floating virus particles in the air, it's virus in respiratory droplets, which are MUCH larger than individual virus particles.🙄🤦‍♂️

        I've been shocked how many of my peers are out there perpetuating these nonsense arguments bolstered by the platform their credentials provide them

        As have I. I recently got into a "discussion" with a colleague claiming the virus must be getting less deadly because we now have so few patients being admitted to the ICU with it. Never mind that Michigan is one of only two states on track to contain the virus, at least for now.

        Either way, the size of the droplets is MUCH bigger, big enough to be filtered.

        Hey doc, keep it simple. Virus small. Carrier droplet, big Mask blocks carrier.

        It’s also wrong in another way. 0.3 microns is the MOST penetrating particle. Filtering efficiency increases as the particle size is bigger AND smaller than 0.3 microns. So it easier to capture 0.1 because those particles oscillate.
