Airborne transmission of respiratory viruses

Science ha s been a bit lazy on common respiratory viruses. It hasn’t been that many studies done before Covid-19, but here it is: they pretty much all are mostly airborne.

Universal Masking Works – Fewer Students And Staff Get Covid-19 In Schools

To anyone at least little read up on the matter, the news that universal masking lessens the number of infected students and staff in schools comes as no surprise, as fewer viruses in the air means less risk for infections. Now there is even more proof.

In Short: Masks Work. Wearing Them Protects You From Covid-19.

It sort of says itself: if you put a filter in the stream of air entering your mouth and nose, you get fewer “things” entering your respiratory system. And respirators are very good at catching viruses.

Universal Masking In Schools Work; Data Shows How Well

It is kind of obvious that mask should make a difference. especially if we are talking respirator masks (N95/Ffp2/Kn95 etc) that are designed to protect the bearer from patogens like viruses. What we have sort of lacked is a real world comparison between a larger number of schools that keeps mask requirements and schools that remove mask requirements. And the result is clear: it makes a big difference. The first link is to the Time article about the NEJM published study.

Your kid’s school need better ventilation to keep Covid in check

Covid-19 is airborne. It has been known since spring 2020. Airborne viruses are dealt with using breathing protection and… efficient ventilation and air filtration.

The “magic” of N95 & Ffp2 masks

Some people doesn’t believe in masks. Maybe because they don’t understand how they work. This article explains this pretty well.
