Study: most masks only 10% effective at stopping covid indoors

New research reveals that cloth masks filter just 10% of exhaled aerosols, with many people not wearing coverings that fit their face properly.
WATERLOO, Ontario — N95 or KN95 face masks may be the best way to avoid COVID-19 during crowded indoor events. That’s the recommendation from a new study reporting most cloth masks just don’t do the job when it comes to stopping the spread of coronavirus within enclosed spaces.
Researchers from the University of Waterloo simulated a person breathing in a large room with a cloth face mask on. Despite wearing a mask, the study finds a large buildup of aerosol droplets suspended in the air. Besides raising awareness on the vulnerability of certain face masks, these findings also emphasize the need for proper ventilation indoors. More ventilation means less of a chance for potentially viral aerosols to linger around.
This explains why mask mandates do not work

10% effective is better than nothing

Thats 10% more than people here suggest. How much do the n95 protect against ?

10 percent of a trillion dollars is a 100 billion dollars.

There is no question it is beneficial to wear any face covering, both for protection in close proximity and at a distance in a room,” says study leader Serhiy Yarusevych, a professor of mechanical and mechatronics engineering, in a university release.

In light of these findings study authors recommend that everyone wear a N95 or KN95 mask if possible whenever indoors in the company of others.
JBE is going to get ahold of this and shut down everything inside until there is a N95 mandate.

This has been known since the beginning, except the Covidian cult refuses to accept it.

It's like putting a small dent in an oncoming tank.
The masks are a "we have to do something" virtue (and political funding) signal while variants from other parts of the world will continue to spread unabated to every continent. Trust that "science" though.

So wear the mask that works. How hard is that?

10% effective is definitely worth mandating.
Lowering the speed limit on interstates to 55 would lower crash fatalities by 10%. Let's do it.

My sister (extreme liberal) shared some post on Facebook yesterday… “Even if it’s found that masks don’t work, I can rest my head at night knowing I was doing the right thing trying to protect people.”
Sad and cringy

I don't think people understand what this says. It filters 10% of aerosols. 90% escape.
If 90% of covid escapes people will get infected. This does not say that masks reduce infection by 10%.

Good to see you admit "masking" is worthless without additional context
