Opportunities exist to inactivate viruses, fungal and bacterial materials in ways that don't mean that all masks must be single use disposable items. | |||

"Nope do you now? if so why?" Yes I do but I hate it with all my heart and soul. They are at best useless and at worst dangerous but it's the law to wear one and I am a law abiding citizen that just doesn't hardly go out anyhwere which is ridiculous because I am in perfect health. It should be if you choose to wear a mask for your protection wear one, but if I choose to wash my hands more often and stay away from large crowds and stuffy rooms that should be my choice. However I can see us becoming more and more at the behest of the OCD minority and Stasi society that they are trying to make us become. | |||

"I'm going to wear one all the time just to annoy the people who whine about being 'muzzled' or that being asked to take basic public health precautions is like 'the stasi'. " You wont annoy me. Just let you get on with it. | |||

Kills the virus. A 60 degree wash with standard powder is effective. The virus has a lipid bi-layer - two layers of molecules that have a water loving and a water hating end to them. The water loving end faces outwards in the outer layer and inwards in the inner layer. The outward facing end is “sticky” - great for a virus that wants to travel. However this stickiness is the same as soap in effect - soap is sticky that’s why it removes dirt. So, soap and water the outward facing end sticks to the soap and is removed, leaving the water hating ends exposed and these are then stripped away by the water. The inner virus is then exposed and dies. Bingo job done. And now to the “masks don’t make a difference”. They prevent large molecules to which the virus is stuck leaving an infected person or entering your mouth or nose. They do not stop a virus but then a virus doesn’t travel by itself - it’s like you wanting to travel abroad - it needs something to carry it. This is what the mask stops - masks stop spit and mucus and phlegm and shit spraying into your mouth or nose. Wear them. Especially in a communal toilet when you flush - you would be astounded how much crap is made airborne by a flushing toilet. Close the toilet lid. Oh and don’t use hand driers - the best is to let your hands dry naturally (20 secs of washing kills the virus - letting your hands air dry makes damned sure they have had 20 seconds of wet) | |||

Washable ones can work - all they are is a barrier to large particles of spit and stuff - the issue more often than not is the fit. They are not as close fitting as disposable. In addition, to stop micro particles you need something better than cloth. A dentist or a skin piercing procedure such as giving an injection will release nano particles - tiny bits of stuff to which the virus sticks. This is what has to be stopped, which is why in many clinical procedures ffp2 or ffp3 masks are used (they catch smaller bits) to be totally sure you aren’t breathing in a molecule with a virus on it you go fill gas tight suit with air supply - think Ebola coverage and the videos of people in big green suits. Expensive cumbersome and impractical for many things - but highly effective. | |||

I was in hospital last year and the nurses were wearing washable masks not disposable ones. | |||

"After Covid ... you mean there is going to be life after Covid ? It will be years before the government relaxes the stupid rules, get used to masks they are around for a long time. As for the track and trace App, once you have that on your phone it will be there forever, and who knows how that will be used. GCHQ will no doubt already have a door into track and trace and whilst the hype is that this is about Covid ... imagine the uses that it could be put too. " What utter bollocks You seriously think the security services give a flying fuck about routine communications? You think they have the capacity to monitor the gazillions of mega bytes of stuff? The app is safe. It shares nothing else than a Bluetooth proximity measure. In about 18 months to 2 years we can all delete it and do you know what? You can check your phone bios and see it has gone and there is no secret back door still working. Let’s forget the conspiracy theories and live with the reality heh folks? The app is great for telling me I have been within a close enough distance of someone for long enough to have a high risk of contracting Covid. That’s it. I welcome it because if I have been to a pub and someone there has been diagnosed with Covid and I am told about it - I can see from the app whether or not I have to isolate. If I have not been close enough to the person to have risked contracting it - I don’t need to isolate! If I haven’t got the app - then I do. Of course this relies on everyone having the app. Let’s do it | |||

I have worn masks in highly dangerous environments for virtually my entire life - I haven’t fallen ill because of it or despite it. Drop the “masks make you ill” rubbish - if they did the entire medical population would fall over ill all the time - and it doesn’t | |||

"Some fantastic 'opinions' on here. To the guy talking sense, who clearly knows his shit. I'm very disappointed that your knowledge just isn't as appealing to some as a frantically over-copied meme. It's good to see that there is still a pavement of facts, just a shame it's covered in trash. " this is the problem, there are so many opinions that i dont know who to believe anymore, i am in the high risk group, so some simple facts would be good, not all this guesswork | |||

"I don't think there will be a covid free environment. It will be around for ever just like flu . " I think this too. We'll get to April & it'll be announced restrictions could last a further six months & so on. It'll never end. Penny will eventually drop with government (maybe another year) that trying to suppress & control the virus is pointless, but, by then it'll be too late. The damage will already be done. | |||
