Example of how the purpose of masks for ordinary people is still not understood. The ones with exhalation valves, including N95s, should not be worn around people, period. Not just in sterile hospital operating rooms as NYT claims. Cotton mask>valved N95.https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/health/coronavirus-best-face-masks.html …

Oh, good, the NYT article on masks has been corrected, though they don't note that there has been a correction. Still I'm glad it's corrected!pic.twitter.com/scr7K1TleW

You should try a visual strategy to educate people. Crowdsource a bunch of images of people wearing masks on twitter, and then curate to point out right and wrong strategy. will work better than many articles.

cotton masks are no filter against exhalation. the vast majority of the air goes sideways, down or up. there's no seal around the nose with a cotton mask if you have a big nose: if you wear glasses they get fogged up. if they work, it's not because they filter anything.

Yes on the one hand there’s all these experiments, lab studies and the scientific studies we cite. On the other hand you have an opinion. Carry on.

Though it doesn't seem to deal with the exhalation valve issue discussed in the rest of the above Twitter thread? Here's one article specifically about that. https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Coronavirus-Bay-Area-officials-warn-some-N95-15208241.php#photo-19011180 … It would suggest that the
#WearAnyMask movement should drop the word "any".Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
