    Bacteria, and fungi are a different story. They can come out of your body, reproduce on the mask, and reenter your body in greater numbers. Remember, a virus cannot reproduce outside the body, so you are not going to get many viruses back. With bacteria especially, you can get an overwhelming number back.

    So if we all wear masks for multiple days, sooner or later, a bacteria will start hitting us.
    And if you touch your contaminated mask what happens next, Alter-Walter?

    I would strongly suggest against touching other people masks, or underwear... But I think adults would understand that.

    Well, what happens after other people touch their masks lol?

    Recall that in Fauci’s first position on masks, he alluded to the fact that the masks, themselves, can become a vector of transmission. No, they do become a vector of transmission. It’s consensus science—that’s why healthcare workers don’t wear the same mask all day. Not even from patient to patient.

    A virus can be transmitted in other ways besides the droplet route. Hence, all the hand washing and hand sanitizers.

    Once again, I would strongly recommend against wearing someone else's dirty mask, or dirty underwear. Not quite sure why you would want to do it, but it is a bad idea.

    I doubt it is a major vector of transmission, because I cannot imagine many are doing it.

    I see people touching their masks *all the time*. I do it myself.

    Someone touches their mask and then roots through veggies looking for that perfect tomato or whatever. Waitresses do it constantly. Store clerks do it. Anywhere you go in public people are doing it.

    There’s some degree of transmission *from* masks because it’s impossible for there not to be.

    Touching your own mask is not an issue with viruses.

    Who told you that?

    It wasn't the savior of the COVID cultists, was it?



    “There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask,” Fauci told 60 Minutes on See-BS. “When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And, often, there are unintended consequences—people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.”

Microbiologist Dr Katie Laird, who led the study, said the materials, commonly used in masks, posed a transmission risk.

    The material most commonly used to make surgical masks is polypropylene, either 20 or 25 grams per square meter (gsm) in density. Masks can also be made of polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyethylene or polyester.

    The thread is one of the few decent teachable moments from these ill meaning bozos.

    Yes, please don't share masks. Yes, please wash and replace them. Yes, please wear those which transmit the least through surface contact.

    Thanks for sharing. Superspreaders? No. But best to not misuse anything, whether its a knife a nuclear bomb or a covid mask.

    The study also looked at the most reliable wash method for removing the virus from 100% cotton fabric.

    Water was enough to remove the virus in all of the washing machines tested when it was added in droplets but not when scientists soiled the fabric with an artificial saliva containing the virus.

    In these cases, only when detergent was used and a temperature of 40°C or above was the virus completely eliminated.

    Using temperature alone, 67°C was required to eliminate the virus.
