re: Coronavirus is about 0.12 microns, Broom said to just cover your face with anything.

The 0.12 micron argument is asinine. The vast majority of the virus is attached droplets, so the effective particle size is much larger
So everyone is going to wash their hands after they touch their mask?
AND you're throwing away every mask after a single use? AND you're not adjusting it after it's on properly?
no. no one is. the masks are fricking bullshite. comply with the hivemind

Why not mandate everyone wear N95 masks?
Because that is impossible.

Because it’s not about actual effectiveness as much as it’s a mandate based on fear
It says it right in the op. To preserve the N95 masks for medical procedure personnel. Because our "leaders" didn't respond effectively and we don't have enough.

Keep masks on!! The boogeyman is behind each one. You never know when he’ll strike!

Background
An ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread around the world. It is debatable whether asymptomatic COVID-19 virus carriers are contagious. We report here a case of the asymptomatic patient and present clinical characteristics of 455 contacts, which aims to study the infectivity of asymptomatic carriers.
Material and methods
455 contacts who were exposed to the asymptomatic COVID-19 virus carrier became the subjects of our research. They were divided into three groups: 35 patients, 196 family members and 224 hospital staffs. We extracted their epidemiological information, clinical records, auxiliary examination results and therapeutic schedules.
Results
The median contact time for patients was four days and that for family members was five days. Cardiovascular disease accounted for 25% among original diseases of patients. Apart from hospital staffs, both patients and family members were isolated medically. During the quarantine, seven patients plus one family member appeared new respiratory symptoms, where fever was the most common one. The blood counts in most contacts were within a normal range. All CT images showed no sign of COVID-19 infection. No severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections was detected in 455 contacts by nucleic acid test.
Conclusion
In summary, all the 455 contacts were excluded from SARS-CoV-2 infection and we conclude that the infectivity of some asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers might be weak.
Asymptomatic is much less likely to spread it, and in other countries you are required to have symptoms to have a test done unless you have a condition that makes you more likely to cause death from covid-19
