I want to open a store in Hong Kong.

For real, what are the truths about dangers of wearing masks?

glupson, the problem with masks is that people are always touching them. A common way to contract a virus is to touch an object (door handle, display merchandise, railing, etc.) that has the virus on it then touch your face. The virus is then moved into your eyes, your nose or your mouth where it gets into cells and you have an infection. If you watch people wearing masks they touch them and their faces a lot. If you wear a mask, keep your hands off it.

It is also my understanding that masks will not filter out the smaller droplets that viruses travel through the air on. These smaller droplets linger in the air longer and can be inhaled through most masks.

Another purpose is to filter the larger droplets that infected people exhale, sneeze or cough out and to limit the distance that droplets initially travel.

So masks have definite value, IMHO, and should be worn properly (i.e. hands off) but should not be considered strong protection against the virus.

I’m not a medical professional. This is what I’ve learned from TV, so take it for what it’s worth.

Audio2design,

What are the odds on viral particles that are transferred from the air onto your eyes or from your hands into your eyes, nose or mouth?

OK audio2design, thanks.  I wouldn't downplay transmission from the hands to our eyes, nose and mouth though.  Dr. Fauci said he would ban shaking hands, even after the pandemic wanes, if he had his way.
