    No, parroting the Magick Mask Argument is what makes a person look like a candidate for the loony bin... That's what you are doing...

    There is nothing "common sense" about wearing a mask for viruses... It is instead an ignorance/denial of mathematics, logic, immunology, and virology...

    However, the main point being made here (by the kids, and yourself) is absolutely correct. A covid virus is ~100 nanometers (or 0.1 micron), and a mask rated for particles of size 3,000 nanometers (or 3.0 microns) or larger is not going to stop it.
    The approximate diameter of a methane molecule is 2.75 angstroms or 0.275 nanometres, the figure you quoted is the molecular diameter or the distance between molecules.

    Yup, that's what I corrected him on (although you've correctly added in more specifics)... otherwise, his main point was on point.

    It's acting insane. Insane people can't act sane but sane people can act insane. The price is whatever it takes to survive and thrive.
