I'm in the US, and I consistently see people "wearing" masks. They wear them below their nose or around their chin. Sometimes they wear the mask UNTIL they start talking, and take it off to talk (which is likely the most important time to have a mask on outside of sneezing). It's honestly hard to hold out hope for humanity when guidelines this simple are so difficult for people to understand and follow.
Spain made masks mandatory pretty much everywhere, yet new cases are skyrocketing. Sweden does next to nothing to stop pandemic, and new cases are slowly droping
I have a light beard and extend my mask slightly below my chin if possible. I was about to argue with the "around the chin" part until it sunk in with me exactly what you meant. The level of stupidity never ceases to amaze me.
It's probably harder to understand that all these rules fucked up your country more than the virus ever would have, in my opinion. Diseases are part of life, and so is death. I'm not saying everyone should die from this and stop caring about it, but reinforcing laws about personal behaviour is useless, you just inform and educate the public (something the US had a really hard time doing in the past decades, but I'm from Italy so who am I to judge) and then public supposedly will encorporate those guidelines into their daily life. But this was done in such an aggressive way that people just got scared and now they do whatever they want or can just to feel like they still have control. I get it, it was an emergency eccetera, but it's been what 7 months? If the US had to go to war I assure you it would have been done in a much more efficient way and much faster. But when it comes to the safety of the citizens it fuckes up. Such as other countries
If it were possible. If every living person could isolate themselves for about ten days (I don't know what the maximum incubation and infectious period is) - we might be able to wipe Covid19 out. It doesn't sound like much of a sacrifice, does it, compared to the sacrifice we're making now. It's just not possible, though. Some of us have medical needs that mean we can't isolate ourselves for even short periods.
@@batintheattic7293 the only problem here is that there will be always someone not respecting it, that is the only reason why it would never work, unfortunately. And you would need more days because it is 14 days + the days the person is sick. So I guess you would need about up to a month to be sure. Not so realisable anymore, is it? And for the medical need, that wouldn't be a problem because someone could just send them to you days before the quarantine. But it is a nice thought indeed, just some will always stay ignorant and stupid...
@@nocturnaljoe9543 Wait, I think I understand now, 'cause since you'd be drinking an energy drink, your brain would be taking in more information, thus time would move slower, please correct me if I'm wrong
Politics is, & always has been, a one-sided fight for human rights while the rich & powerful try to convince everyone that people deserve to die with surprising effectiveness. Somehow, there are quite a few people who are against the idea of people living, but I suppose that's just politics.
Too much things were turned into political issues. Like climate change, abortion rights, racism, weapon and recreational drug legalization. That kills me every time
Not making other people sick isn't the issue here. It's about politics making decisions and claims that aren't scientifically sound but claiming them to be. It's a whole lot more complicated then most people understand. It's not about simply wearing or not wearing a mask. If we just talk about masks, then my first question regarding the topic is the following. What is important for/when using/wearing masks?
Don't tell other people what to wear on their face. Don't tell other people how to take care of their health. That goes for the government too - they don't have the right to play doctor. If they have EVIDENCE someone is INFECTIOUS, they quarantine them. Otherwise, leave them alone.
I think it has pointed out how easily people believe misinformation and how they usually fight the government (because they always think the government is out to control everyone). Governments don't really help themselves out either. I just love how one simple virus can cause so much economical damage to the world. it really shows how poorly stable our world is.
While I agree with that, wearing a mask with your shnose sticking out should still be more effective than not wearing one at all, due to still blocking your cough (atleast its something)
I just want to congratulate you for the amazing job you do, making kids like me learn things without needing to go to articles and not understanding nothing. You are really helping people, and youtubers like you are inspiring people to study to become scientists. Thanks bro
I've loved your recent work with the coronavirus but I was wondering if down the line you could do a video on Anyons, I just watched your quasi-particle video the other day and with the recent possible evidence I think it's the perfect time for a good explainer on the weird buggers! There are a few good ones out there but I haven't found any that make it nice and streamlined.
@Kernal Scott 2 you would think that because of your own breathing issues that you would want other people to wear masks to help protect you, instead of calling masks a placebo lmao
jar josh you’re cherry picking. if you look for a meta-analysis of these kinds of studies you’ll find the vast majority support the idea that mask wearing, cloth or surgical, reduces transmission.
I couldn't agree more. Do the research people.. "Mask" is only one letter away from "Mark" Go listen to "Event 201", "Agenda 21" and oh here's another fascinating tidbit, Note who owns this patent... patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=WO2020060606&tab=PCTBIBLIO
Further caveats: infectious dose and viral load. A single virus particle is not enough to make a person sick. There is a threshold that must be surpassed in order for a person to get sick. This is the infectious dose. Reducing the number of viral particles has better than a linear effect on the rate of disease transmission because doing so greatly reduces the probability of a person being exposed to an infectious dose within a given time period. Also, the severity of a viral infection depends on the number of infectious particles in the body. This is the viral load. Reducing the number of viral particles results in less-severe infections. Aside from the obvious benefits, this also has a positive effect on the rate of disease transmission because people with a higher viral load are more contagious than people with a lower viral load. So if you see that a certain mask is 50% effective at stopping viral particles, it actually has a greater than 50% effectiveness at reducing the rate of disease transmission.
I agree with your statement if the infectious dose is close to what is breathed out by someone. Then, even a poor mask could completely stop infection. But what if the infectious dose is much smaller than what is typically breathed out? Then a 75% effective combination of masks won't do much to reduce infection rate. It may reduce viral load and initial severity of infection but not the infection rate. The problem is that physicists like to linearise everything.
@@loopbackish First you won't receive all the virus particles someone breath out, so only a fraction of it will reach your body, also when you are in close interaction to the patients you will choose more effective masks e.g. N95
Further caveat about viral load. Not all interactions are equal. Infection threshold = viral load x time. Thus, a short interaction, say, an elevator ride, even maskless, would be basically harmless compared to chatting for an hour a few feet apart with two masks. An infected person can only expel so many viral particles per minute when merely breathing or even talking. But with enough minutes, even highly effective masks don't stop the spread.
"Reducing the number of viral particles results in less severe infections." There is not an ounce of data that supports that claim. I know the New England Journal of Medicine recently published a paper stating that is the case, but it was pretty roundly criticized as junk. Once you're infected, you're infected. It's up to your body how severe the infection is, not the mask.
@@fattiger2000 Yes, every single person here knows that the covid cells can easily pass through just about any mask you wear. No one is questioning you. But I recommend you do some real research, because that is not the reason why people wear masks. While individual covid particles can easily pass right through a mask, the majority of covid particles are carried on water particles and spittle, which masks stop. You don't even need to be a genius to realize this. This isn't rocket science, you can even see, with the naked eye, spittle flying out of someone's mouth when they talk. Here's a slow-mo video of someone talking, coughing, and sneezing with and without a mask on a backlight, just to show how much particulate actually comes out of people's mouths: ua-cam.com/video/gZ66wJFD3bs/v-deo.html
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Thats why USA has to date 6.3m infected and the death-toll of 60x 9/11.
Society is still stuck on the "science" that was released 6 months ago, completely ignoring any new research, studies or evidence showing covid is less deadly than the Flu..
@@efhi yeah. All the numbers being used are pulled out of thin air and represent nothing but variable statistics in a vacuum. None of it has any barring on the efficacy of different mask types. The entire demonstration here is essentially nonsense. It serves no purpose other than to falsely assert that all mask use is beneficial. Which in all likelihood is not true. There is no consideration at all given to the specific amount of viral load a surgical mask might effectively reduce, no consideration at all given to the airborne nature of the virus, and absolutely no attempt to filter for bias. It's a junk science demo designed to push what is essentially economic propaganda. So yeah. Nonsense.
Just pointing out the obvious, but wearing a mask also reduces the spray from coughs on objects, making less infected surfaces that people can touch and catch it from.
@@MirceaKitsune its math its statistics... Good instinctive gamblers do odds in their head when playing horses or cards... You will lose because you don't get the point. Masks work regardless. Do you really want to take the risk of me having a coughing fit next to you ... And neither of us wears a mask? Odds are improved if we both wear one.
@@MirceaKitsune Because no one ever coughs or sneezes involuntarily or without prior warning. /s You make it sound like COVID-19 is a hoax invented to make people wear masks. In your paranoid delusions someone invented the pandemic to cause fear and increase the sales of hand sanitizer and masks. Never mind that it's killed over 900 thousand people so far and is showing no signs of stopping. You're willing to increase that death toll so you can pretend you're some kind of fearless hero defying an oppressive authority when you're really just being a thoughtless jerk.
@@LabGecko did you...does he say how long the static lasts?...cuz the answer is about 20 minutes depending on environmental variables up to roughly an hour.
I was told by my employer that government guidance says we're not allowed to wear masks at work. I work in a school. In the UK. My employer is actually lying about this as I've read the guidance myself. ugh.
If your employer is a school administrator, you should record them saying that or save any correspondence they send stating that. Send that shit to whoever can discipline them for it.
My school have said they don't want us wearing masks and I would need to prove I had a medical reason. I ignored the SLT and they frown, but don't have the guts to do more than intimidate. Ultimately, the fallout for reprimanding a science teacher for following teir CPD and ensuring I am teaching current quality SMSC would be too bitter for them. Plus parents wouldn't like the cover they'd find after I walk out. However I'm fortunate to have good finances and be in a shortage field. I can explain the mark on my reference in my cover letter.
@@SFSAtlas this is the case for the school where I work The children are aged 10 maximum so they aren't required to wear masks, but all adult or person above the age of ten are required to wear a mask. I honestly think that although the youngest children can't be expected to wear one or respect the measures as well as the older ones But at 8/10 you're clearly able to understand and behave appropriately
If you want real answers, you can't listen to news articles about masks that were put out AFTER Covid hit. Of course, they're going to be pro-mask. You can find things as far back as 2015 that talk about how they're smothering you. It's not really debatable. If they were THAT effective, we all would have been wearing them all our lives. If air is escaping from the mask to fog up the glasses, don't you think it's going other places too?
@@Farr50 1. We don't wear them all the time becusr there uncomfortable, the face is a sensitive area, also becuse seeing peoples mouths helps people socialise 2. The theat of deise most of the time is pretty small so there is little need 3. The fog goes out the sides, you do know when you exhale air it works like a pump the air goes one way 4. And before you talk about blood oxygen levels There's pretty good evidence masks don't effect blood oxygen levels however it can make breathing more difficult thats why asmatic people will useally dnot ware masks however this is just more resistance on breathing in and out something out bodies can make up for
@@Farr50 You shouldn’t trust sources that came after people started looking into an issue more, so instead trust sources that came from a point where knowledge about it is scarce? By this logic you shouldn’t trust any theory about the universe proposed after 1500s, or anything about medicine after the 1850s.
@@andyhaochizhang the knowledge wasn't scarce back then. It was said that face masks weren't healthy for you. There were people wearing them because of pollution and were even warned that the face masks had problems. So basically I'm agreeing with you. The information in 2015 that said The masks were bad should have been brought out in 2020
I'm giving rough estimates. Don't quote me. But you can find the information. I'm sure the mask probably does cause protection. But at what expense? That's my point. Nobody wants to talk about what they're doing. I'd rather stay home than wear a mask
Hey, over here. From Spain, the most affected country by the Covid-19 in Europe) You see, I usually see people wearing masks in the streets (because it's obligatory), but they take them off in risky situations like when you're sitting in an overcrowded bar, only one meter away (or less) from the nearest stranger, or when you're are hanging out with a bunch of friends. The thing is, some people just get their masks put on so that they won't get fined by the police. It's not like they are assholes or something, I know they want their normal days back. But here's the thing, I am tired too and this thing already feels like a never ending loop. This video gives me some hope and I really wish that those people could know how helpful wearing a mask can be. I'll try to spread this as much as I can. Keep strong, fellow inhabitants of this wonderful world. Thank you.
There’s no need to wear a mask for something that has a 0.005% mortality rate. There’s even less of a reason for the government to tyrannically mandate that you wear anything. Videos like these make me lose hope that people will stop being so stupid and actually look things up for themselves.
Greetings from a fellow Portuguese neighbor. I want to point a couple of things to complete your comment. 1 - Regarding the "people just get their masks put on so that they won't get fined by the police". This applies to almost all the social rules (using phone while driving, drinking and driving, wearing the seatbelt, etc). Most people do the right things not because they know it's the right thing, but they are afraid of the consequences. 2 - I also wear a face mask on public places. But, given the mortality rate, is it really necessary to use everywhere? Is it even necessary to forbidden people to smoke in open public places so they don't take the mask off? You are being deeply affected by the virus, but I don't think that these measures will help anyone but the masks suppliers... 3 - You should change mask every 4h (if you use those blue thin ones). Does anyone control the use of old wear masks? The effectiveness just vanishes after those 4hours, so it's just another fashion adornment after that. 4 - Keep safe mate and keep strong!
Masks dont bloody work, its pointless. Yes they help, but the best is still washing hands and distance. In Denmark studies already been done showing 100.000 people having to wear a mask on average in Denmark with our current outbreak numbers, to prevent 1 case of covid19. Its so much fun living in a smaller part of the country now having to wear a mask in a gut damn half empty train...jeez. And if you want links to the study I will provide, this was shared by official people and state media.
@@pedromms8908 THAT'S THE PROBLEM. In other countries in Europe they don't even wear masks in the streets but their infection cases are much lower. It's just because some people just don't care, they don't want to get fined and that's all that matters. I usually see groups of people on Fridays buying a lot of alcohol and I can bet that they didn't thought about hygiene mesaures and those stuff. I think that if it were the opposite case, that people wear masks, get some distance in risky situations like when they are hanging out in groups and carry a tiny bottle of alcoholic gel so that they can use it after touching things that everyone touched (Like building's knob). Even if they don't wear masks in the street, the situation would be much better and I would also prefer it that way. But I think that cultural costumes are quite involved in what it's happing here... We can't tell people to do something and expect them to do it. Thank you so much, mate. I really aprecciate your support.
Well, that actually changes depending on the country, but goddamit, 0'005% is really lol, you must be greek gods or something. 😂 I do agree that forcing people to wear masks isn't as effective as ot should be without raising more awareness about it. The people that didn't care won't do it now. The death rate here has reached 0'055%, it may seem meaningless, but 30000 deaths of half million cases seems like a lot to me. I have friends that have lost family members because of this Covid-bitch. I wouldn't care that much if it only affected me. I mean, I consider myself a healthy person, I may suffer, but it's not very probable that I'd die from it. But everytime I feel tired of washing my hands 30 times a day and exhausted of wearing a mask, I think about my pregnant sister in-law and I think about my gf's parents who are a little old already. It may not be a major problem, but what if it is? I have a lifetime to regret the things that I could have done. If someone lives here, they must already know that there are a lot of elderly people here. And we reached a critical point in May that there were NOT enough equipment to treat the critical cases and the hospitals had to decide who lives and who doesn't. Probably quite traumatic for the nurses and doctors if you ask me. Pls, don't underestimate the corona-bitch-19, that's how we reached that point and that's why we are still in this situation.
Times the words "mask", "masks", or "masked" were said in this video: Before caveats (until 5:09): 57 times After caveats: 70 times (or 71 if you count saying the link) Entire video total (7:11): 72 times And now, hearing or saying "masks" feels weird. Seriously though, this video perfectly summarizes the effect of masks. Pretty unfortunate that the majority of those who watch this are probably already aware of the importance of masks right now.
Confirmation bias is a heck of a thing. You are absolutely right, due to the wording of the title, most of the people who watch will be those who already feel like they work. Sad, really.
A mask has no effect on viral transmission. Do you understand basic physics? I hate to tell you, but the definition of a "Karen" would be you. A person that reports others for not wearing a mask or reports people for having too much fun in public because they are not social distancing themselves. You know, a hall monitor for adults. That would be you. Making sure the sheep are wearing their masks. Now, do you understand what a "Karen" is? People like you absolutely hate people like me because I represent freedom and intellect. You represent emotion just like toddlers do. What really ruins your day is the fact that you absolutely can't do a thing about me going into a store without a mask. You'll probably be up all night thinking how helpless you are when it comes to my freedom. How about this for a nightmare...Just think of the millions of people going out shopping without a mask this Monday. All the while you are wearing a mask wondering why none of us anti mask people are getting sick from the goblin flu. I think that would be too much for you to take!
@@paulk9188 aww you're so selfish. it's not about how you feel about masks it's about protecting the world and getting rid of corona. you obviously don't care about our world and it shows 😘
@@gracenmagee8611 Urine idiot if you think a mask protects you or any mine else from a virus lol. I’m fact CDC states 85% of people that wear a mask “always Or “often” tested positive for Corona lol. But leave it to a lib that does not understand basic physics
Hi Henry. Don't know if you read the comments but I'll would really like to say how much I love the channel and offer you a video idea. At all channels I look at there's an explanation about how mass curve spacetime but no one explain why this curvature causes acceleration. I believe it could be also be a nice lab where you make some curve in 2d spacetime plane and see the movement through time
What amazes me is that "My experiment shows mask equals bad" videos have many thousand views with very high like ratios. While the clearly more scientific videos like this on also have a really good like ratio. Those filter bubbles must be insane.
this video is far from scientific. It ignores all the variables, supplants them with junk data, and then attempts to draw conclusions based on that junk data. It's almost anti-scientific. It's borderline political propaganda, if I am being completely honest.
I was sceptical to masks at first. I had heard that as long as you kept a social distance, the benefits of wearing a mask were negligable. And perhaps that is the case, but when school started I had to move back to the city (I spent the "lockdown" at my parents) and that's when I realised that it's almost impossible to keep distance 100% all the time. Just look at people in the store or people getting on and off a bus. Those are mostly primitive instincts. They're not standing close to eachother because they don't believe in the disease, but rather because it goes against the human nature to not do so. Finally I must mention this study I read about where they asked people on the street two questions regarding how well people have followed the guidelines throughout the pandemic. The first was how well they had followed, the second how well others had followed. This was the most common answer: 1. I've followed the guidelines pretty well. 2. Others have gotten worse at following the guidelines as time went on. To me this clearly shows how little we know about our own shortcomings, and thus also why we should wear masks. We simply cannot trust even ourselves.
there is no benefit to wearing a surgical mask. And social distancing ONLY applies to people outside your household or outside of another household that is also social distancing properly. Meaning, you can go hang out with your neighbors and have an orgy if you feel like it. You can even go hang out with friends and family at their homes. The point is to avoid mingling with the general public. People you don't know, people you can't confirm are following recommended guidelines. As long as you keep it below 10 people even that really doesn't matter much. What made you think you need to wear masks and social distance in your own home? Have you been doing that this whole time? Once you pass 14 days, there's no more chance the virus is present. And if you live in the same house you share a closed airspace. Masks and distance can't even work in that scenario even if that was correct. I feel like DSHS should do a welfare check on your family tbh. It sounds like you are all developmentally disabled and that's just not fair to leave you all on your own to figure complex issues like this out.
I feel that social distancing can go along with masks. We shouldn't get too comfortable with one or the other. When I go shopping and everybody is wearing masks, I am more comfortable with a little less distance, but still maintain distance when I can. The mask is another tool in the arsenal. What really blows my mind is that health officials faced the very same argument 100 years ago with the Spanish Flu. We have 100 years of science on our side and we are still arguing about it. COVID 19 is really contagious and can be spread by asymptomatic persons, though how much is still unknown
@@judyjohnson9610 that's called security theater Judy. Like the TSA has never stopped a single terrorist or hijacker, but you feel safer getting on the plane if you see people being molested by TSA agents at the gate. It's fake. Just like the efficacy of surgical masks or cotton DIY masks. You are meant to "feel safer" so Walmart can keep people stuffed into their stores without being held legally liable for outbreaks. Because you agreed to mask mandates and that masks make you feel safer so they can use what's known as plausible deniability to avoid lawsuits. That's what all this is really about. Mask Mandates serve 1 purpose and 1 purpose only. To keep the doors open at public venues while hundreds of thousands of Americans silently die in the background of your consumerist fever dream. They just have to convince the general public that masks work, and then push mask mandates in the media. And here we are.
Also let's not forget that we're speaking of exponential growth, not linear growth. If everybody wore a 50% effective mask this would mean every individual would effectively have a quarter of their expected infections per individual factored into the exponential growth formula for covid. Let's take an example formula for exponential growth where we take 100*e^3 which equals about 2008. Now we apply the 75% reduction to the exponent and find that 100*e^0.75 equals only 212 which is only about 10% of the original value before we applied our 75% reduction. Now obviously this isn't the exact formula for covid's expected spread, but this very clearly showcases the sheer power of attacking the exponent in an exponential growth curve, making masks and social distancing all the more effective the more people keep doing it. Added to this if we manage to get our exponent
None of these numbers are gonna change the fact that we all die in the end. The only thing that can matter is if life is worth living before we die. Living in the Covid Concentration Camp is worse than death.
yeah... i saw a bunch of those on ETsy for sale when I was trying to find a real mask... Can't believe so many unethical sellers make it and so many dumb people buy it
@Harry Dingling don't have to, I've been working on hospitals and I don't believe that all of this is a hoax. I don't care if it is covid (or sars2). People are dying for thinking like you.
@Harry Dingling ja ja that's not true, many scientists have calculated the "excess of death" already counting the amount of pneumonia cases in previous years and, apart from official data, they already count extra dozens of thousands more deaths from coronavirus. And what about the tests?, what about the already well known DNA from the SARS-V2?, what about the tons of evidence about his existence?. This is not a respiratory sickness, but away.
It's encouraging that wearing a mask is more effective than most of us realise. I was already going to continue to wear one, but now I have a better understanding of what it is I'm doing beyond just "reducing its spread".
Even more encouraging is that if you add on top of this the measure of Physical Distancing (something not mentioned at all in the video), the effectiveness increases significantly as well. As fewer 'Droplets' even come in your vicinity. In the Netherlands we have for a while stopped the spread almost entirely solely on physical distancing. In public it isn't mandatory to wear masks here. ONLY if you cannot for whatever reason maintain the physical distance of at least 1,5 meters. So in public transport, at the hairdresser or in other crowded places. Unfortunately people are getting less careful and keeping less distance, so it is spreading again...
You drama queens! Stop it with the mask overreaction already. WE ARE SICK OF IT! More than the Covid. Also, the Peak of the pandemic is long behind us. This is now a simple flu that is staying with us for a long time. There are other things more serious now like the rise of communism and starvation and upcoming economic depression and unemployment and people who will lose their homes soon. By December, no one will give a crap about this little virus.
actually a surgical mask is only shown in laboratory experiments to theoretically reduce viral load by 15-30%, and because stacking air filters together lowers the volume of air that can pass through them, by the 3rd mask you will have reduced to efficacy of the masks to infinitely approaching 0%
@Matt Guitar there's a really good video by conspiracy catz looking at the claims about kochs postulates, if you check the baldy catz channel there is a video that went out today linking a paper that forfils the modified kochs postulates for the Corona virus.

This is a great video on the basics of masks. However there are a few things to take into account. 1. Proper mask use. Wash your hands before handling a mask and after handling a mask. Only touch your face or mask when you put it on or take it off. Touch your mask by the parts furthest from your mouth and nose, so by the strings or edges. As soon as your mask is on treat it as potentially contaminated. Dispose of disposable masks right away. Put your cloth masks in the washing machine as soon as you get home. 2. The majority of transmissions (atleast in the Netherlands) Take place in familial or friendly gatherings in which people tend to be lacks with the rules and not wear a mask. Be careful with these still. Don't shake hands, don't share food, don't sit closer than 6 ft to eachother. Do not attended if you have been in contact with someone showing symptoms of CoViD 19 for 14 days prior to the event and check eachother on this. Do not have gatherings that are larger than single digit if the room allows you to keep a 6ft distance. And most of all, Keep yourself in check, report your own health if you think something is wrong. Don't hesitate to call a doctor. Stay safe and healthy people.
YEs that would be a good addition to this video.. I Have seen so many people rub the front of their masks.. adjusting it touching it.. and then touch everywhere and everything. Drives mY OCD crazy just to see that.
@@annewood8673 What's with all this non-medical journals spams. Did anyone ever tell you not to trust anything you read online. Learn to use your head. Look at all the places where the spread is well controlled.. in other countries. They're wearing masks. Simple logic. Not that complicated. Use common sense. Get out of your damn cult.
Just in case people are wondering, The thing about the masks is that in the performed studies there was at best a marginal reduction in transmission if masks were properly used. The reason why I elaborated on proper mask use and just how much effort it costs is because improper mask use seems to increase the chance of infection marginally as well compared to not wearing a mask. There is however a significant reduction of transmission if infected people wear facemasks even if they are unaware of the infection. Meaning that these measures are blanket measures aimed at catching non-symptomatic transmission or through people who are unaware of the infection. It is an excersise in risk assessment and the government is chosing to take as little risk as they can by obligating mask use. Here in the Netherlands this is currently restricted to urban centers like amsterdam and public transport. In either cases the recommended distance of 1.5 meters for asymptomatic transmission is not always something that can be applied, so that is why. The 1.5 meters or 6 yards btw are to prevent transmission through just talking or breathing. Not for sneezing or coughing. The same as in any given epidemic/pandemic the best way to reduce the R0 is to reduce contact between vectors. As this is unrealistic in a functioning society, countries try a lot of different or variable methods to mitigate transmission. Whether they make the right choice in this is often hindsight. What you can do for yourself and what absolutely does work is being mindful of the health of those you interact with and your own and as sad as it sounds, limit contact with those who do have other heart/lung conditions. For you it may not be more than a flu, but be mindful of transmitting it to other people who are vulnerable.
Sir, I am a school pass-out studying for NEET. Sir, as we know the total energy in the first orbital of H like atom is -13.6eV. and to excite it to first excited state of energy -3.4eV we need to provide 10.2eV energy. My question is what if we provide some energy intermediate between the first energy gap and second energy gap say 10.5eV (I agree that 10.2eV will we used to excite it to the second orbital) but what will happen to the remaining 0.3eV? A teacher told me that it will be used to heat up the atom, but how an atom can heat up since the atomic scale of thermal energy is kinetic energy? sir it would be my great pleasure getting my doubt solved by the legend of physics like you please answer sir
Nice video, great link. One comment: Whenever building demo-material on chances and properties, please, do NOT use 50% as your value, use something asymmetrical like 40% or 33.3% (if you go with fractions). the fact that p = (1 - p) for p=0.5 makes for a great way of introducing confusion and diminish the learning effect. Don't sabotage your own goals! A lot of "incorrect" intuition is because people believe they understand a "50:50" chance, while they do mix things up in the process of thinking on it.
Some people after watching this video would make the conclusion: "I don't have to wear a mask, because everyone around me wears one." But if everyone thinks that way, we would be stuck in this pandemic for all eternity! The right thing to do is to act the way you think everyone should act. Don't make an exception of yourself, instead try to be an example. In the end, if it doesn't work, you at least know it wasn't you... (This counts for litterly everything by the way. If you're interested in this way of thinking, look up Imanuel Kant
The problem is the poor thinking that will cause people to not even process logic and good info, if presented. It's quite a problem. This video assumes people understand how the virus spreads and why it's worse than the flu. That's a requirement most people don't meet.
That doesn't make sense. Wearing the mask still reduces the chance of transmission specifically to *you* regardless of whether others are wearing masks.
Well actually we'd get out of the pandemic quicker because we'd get to herd immunity levels much faster, albeit that would be way worse in the grand scheme of things considering MANY more people would get it and high risk populations would take a big hit.
Too bad science doesn’t agree wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article meta analysis of actual medical research papers over the last 80 years, masks do no have an effect on viral spread.
Brian P the article that you mentioned CLEARLY STATES “In theory, transmission should be reduced the most if both infected members and other contacts wear masks, but compliance in uninfected close contacts could be a problem (12,34). Proper use of face masks is essential because improper use might increase the risk for transmission (39). Thus, education on the proper use and disposal of used face masks, including hand hygiene, is also needed.” Ig you couldn’t read all of it. You weirdos make baseless conclusions on your 5 min google research and even that is skewed cuz of confirmation bias
Also it could have also been stated some facts about particulate size of aerosols containing infectious disease (covid) and pore size of common double layer cotton masks. Aerosols containing covid are larger than most pore size of woven cotton fabrics that when doubled and worn properly create an almost 100% effective barrier of covid 19. Not to mention that when 2 people correctly wear cotton masks like what was stated in the video.
Your pronunciation of aatish's name was perfect man. I know it shouldn't be my biggest takeaway from the video but finally seeing someone not butcher a indian name is so refreshing.
As someone who's always wore a maks since the beginning of the pandemic and is now anyway going through having covid I really appreciate this video and how well it's explained
You can also get covid if your eyes come into contact with the virus, too. Masks don’t prevent this, so where are those videos? At start of pandemic, masks were not effective. Then people bought all the n95 masks, and there was huge shortage and medical services were the only ones to wear them. Then we were instructed to cover our face with anything to stop the spread. Then we were told to get real masks. Now,we’re being told to double mask. Very soon we will be wearing full body suits. We’re getting sick, because the virus is transmitting into our eyes.
Another Caveat: This assumes people that wear masks are wearing them all the time. This is only true for community transmission of a virus. Not if someone travels to visit a friend and takes off their mask once they arrive. Or when mask wearers all meet up to go for dinner and all take off their masks for the duration of their gathering because they are eating/drinking. Really these circumstances of being in the company of people for extended periods of time are much more likely to cause a transmission than fleeting moments passing strangers on the street and in supermarkets.
Mask-wearing is reducing the community transmission, not eliminating it. Think of all the people sharing the bus/train with you... you’re preventing accidentally spreading it to them. If you then want to spread the virus to the random friends you’re visiting, nobody can stop you doing that. “But I don’t have the virus, I don’t even feel unwell”. Two words: incubation period. You won’t know you’re passing it on to other people until AFTER you’ve already done so. You may not even get symptoms yourself; any overweight friends or those with asthma may not be so lucky.
@@happyspaceinvader508 Here's yet another word, Eyes... which is 50% of your actual face that is susceptible to disease. A 100% effective mask that blocks all viral particles to your nose and mouth, is only 50% effective at blocking the spread to you. Oh and the biggest caveat to all of this, is not that masks doesn't work, they only work for a select amount of time. Do you know why surgical masks are made the way they are made, and why there are 4 different types of them? Not only due to difference in quality, but well mostly, but the sheer amount of time you could wear one, without particles on the inside of the mask spreading to the outside of the mask. From which your out-breath could spread it on further.
The Major The mask isn’t to protect you from other people... it’s to protect other people from you. It’s to stop YOUR coughs, sneezes and other exhalations from getting into OTHER PEOPLE’s eyes. Did you even watch the video... or are you simply incapable of processing on any other level than your own self interest?
@@happyspaceinvader508 Hey, that was uncalled for. They're pointing out a problem with one of the claims in the video (that masks protect the wearer, too). They haven't insulted anyone or been rude, so why can't you disagree with them politely?
Pendlera Because it’s propagating the exact same argument those who refuse to wear masks use. And (in Europe) we’re heading into a winter and an exponential increase in cases.
This video has an important omission: the virus is here to stay. It will not disappear. So all we are doing with masks and reduced transmission is slowing the RATE of transmission, not the eventual EXTENT of transmission. Until we reach about 70-80% herd immunity the virus will continue to spread. There is a good reason to slow the rate of transmission, and that is to prevent hospital overload. But we are far far below any risk of hospital overload in all but a few counties. Meanwhile the collateral damage of economic shutdown will cause immense harm for generations, with trillions in debt payments that will only come from young taxpayers and government confiscation of the wealth of retirees. Merely slowing the spread rate is not a sufficient excuse for the immense economic harm.
wearing a mask and sunglasses give me the level of anonymity ive always wanted. plus no one comes up to talk to you in grocery stores anymore woohoo to that. PLUS PLUS i am saving a ton on skipping the lipstick masks are great for me i might just do this forever
Hi I just found out about exoelectrogenic bacteria and am hoping you could do an episode on them! Electricity from bacteria?!!! too cool. I think you would be able to explain how it works really well:)
Can you please do a video on radio wave interaction with object related to their size? I heard that when the wavelength is more than 10 times smaller than an object then the scattering follow the optical rule, if the wave is much bigger than the object then we have the Rayleigh scattering phenomenon, and when the wave is within 1/10 the size of object to equal size to the object then we say the object is in Mie region, so some scattering will follow the optical rule and some will creep around the object. Can you explain this phenomenon? Why it happen?. Furthermore when wave strike a border of different dielectric material, reflection also occur , does it still follow the Mie/Rayleigh/Optical rule?

I don't know why everything has to turn into a political purity test. This should be a bipartisan issue that we can all work together on and help each other out. It's a shame our leadership has not set the example and helped make this whole thing go better. I don't want to turn this into a political argument, again, it's insane to me that it even IS a political argument, we should be able to speak the facts, and institute policy that protects public health, without even disclosing our political affiliation. But since it has become a political argument I have valid criticisms of both sides and how they have handled this. First, the president hasn't been an effective leader in this crisis. And if he had been then I think it wouldn't even be all that political. He would always have his critics of coarse, but I think it wouldn't be nearly as polarizing as it has been if he had just advised people to wear masks, wash hands, and social distance from the beginning, and listened to his experts in his own administration to handle it properly. That said, and I'm trying to be delicate here, and give as much of the benefit of the doubt (I could be much harsher in my criticisms, but I don't want to feed into that). On the other hand, I've seen incredibly hyperbolic criticisms of the president from the other side, saying he's personally responsible for EVERY death. I think that is pretty unfair to make those accusations. Covid-19 would have come to the US anyway. It would have infected people. And people would have still died. And that's even if the president had done everything right from the outset. EVERY nation on Earth has had to deal with this virus. EVERY country on the planet has been impacted in one way or another. Placing blame solely on the president is very irresponsible, and acting in a purely partisan way during and election year. I don't have a side in this conflict. I'm not pro any politician. I'm not saying who to vote for. And I've tried to refrain from saying who I intend to vote for, or not vote for. I think both sides have not handled things well, though perhaps in different ways. I think both sides have things they have said, or done, that has not helped us at all. And that includes blaming the other side, as well as whatever actions have been taken, or not taken. Maybe you disagree with that statement, but if we are being honest with ourselves, then we know this deep down. So let's first, set politics aside, and beat Covid together. We have the power to eliminate the virus and return to some kind of normalcy. Perhaps not completely, the world has changed in some ways that we can't go back on. And perhaps this thing will make us more mindful of other infectious diseases, such as the seasonal flu, which also claims many lives every year. But perhaps we can make Covid a thing of the past. Second, let's admit that no side is completely right. If anyone is trying to spread FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) we should not listen to them. If they are speaking sane and logical facts, and they are encouraging us to work together beyond political boundaries, then we should listen to that. And above all of that, even if you can't get behind the idealism, even if you have disagreed with the majority of what I've said; if a business or a city or an organization has asked people to wear masks, we should wear them. We shouldn't be trying to find ways to get out of it. We shouldn't try to push back on it. We shouldn't assume they are part of some political agenda. We should just comply and wear masks to help protect the other people, the workers, and public officials we are interacting with. We should try to keep ourselves healthy, and protect our own families. Even if you don't think you will get sick, or you think you won't show any symptoms, how would you feel if you unwittingly passed it on to a loved one? A friend? A co-worker? Someone at the grocery store? What if that person had to go to the hospital? What if they had to be intubated (it's not pleasant, and can cause lasting damage)? What if they ended up dying from it? Let's not turn each other into enemies. Let's not spite each other. Let's instead think of those who could be impacted and hurt by our carelessness. Or even we ourselves could be impacted by it. And let's not assign blame to others. Either getting mad that people are wearing masks, or that people aren't wearing masks. These people are not our enemies. They are our neighbors. Our community. Our friends. Our family. They are our fellow countrymen and women. We are all in this together. Let's be kind to each other. Let's be respectful of each other. And let's help each other out.😷💧👏
The first and biggest problem in the US handling of the pandemic was the complete ineptitude of the CDC and other government agencies. And I'm talking about the career employees here, not just the political appointees. These agencies are supposed to be an example for the world in their professionalism and depth of knowledge and instead they've been a global laughing stock. For months they downplayed the risk from this obviously dangerous pandemic, and then actively lied to the American people by going out and saying to NOT wear masks, despite decades of research that masks are effective in protecting against respiratory infection. As the video alludes, Asian countries have known this for a long time and it's why mask wearing is so accepted in some of the countries there. Of course, the President has greatly exacerbated the damage done since by making mask wearing a political statement.
This is perhaps the calmest and most well-thought call to action I’ve read on COVID so far. Thank you for putting in the effort to validate concerns from both sides and then encourage helpful measures for the sake of human decency. Mind if I share your statement on Facebook? I’ve got quite a few people who would find it refreshing, and maybe a few more who would find it instructive. Keep up the good thoughts - and good work!
Everything has to be about politics now. Look at the uzaki protests, all because some people don't like seeing a short adult girl with big breasts. People just like to bitch about things for no reason.

I live in Hiroshima, Japan and this past 9 months have been the longest time I didn’t catch any colds. There were no lockdowns placed and work in our company still went on as usual. It also helped that we were all given masks in our company and every door, gate and stair have hand sanitizer stations nearby. Wearing a mask is just common courtesy for everyone. That’s why Japan recorded less than 1600 deaths(as of 9/21) due to Covid19. MASKS WORK SO PLEASE FFS JUST WEAR THEM
masks only slow things down. they can't possibly 'work' to end the virus except in dreamland. and while they are 'working' they are causing other problems. directly and indirectly. if masks in japan kept you all virus free then you were kept free of ALL contagious diseases of which there are a myriad that the human being needs as part of its acclimatization to its environment. If masks kept you free of covid they kept you free of everything else - as you say, of the common cold even - and your body, your nation, missed out on a seasonal dose of adjustment and 'toughening' up. You are effectively in quarantine with bodily defensive abilities slowly dropping and dropping while outside newer and newer offensive particles are being created all the time.... and inevitably they will get in... like smallpox to the Indians. there are more bacteria in a human body than there are human cells and god knows how many more virus particles. it is the nature of our reality. they'e crawling all over you now, and all within you. you're immersed in a bath of them. you are a bath of them, it's bacteria that eat most of your food for you. it's your microbiome that even decides your moods and your attitudes. microbes is everything. that's microbes, not virus. I know. but if microbes are that important then you can bet your socks virus are equally important too - as perhaps this current thing demonstrates at least one side of. But either way because with masks you're keeping out bacteria even more efficiently than you're keeping out viruses. Much more. And if you think you're going to build a healthy successful nation of bacteria and virus free individuals then you're very much mistaken I think.
@@abrogard142 I'm guessing you missed the point of this video. Masks reduce frequency of transmission, and the effect is bigger if both persons in an encounter wear masks. If this along with other measures reduce the number of people that 10 contagious people infect to below 10 the virus will eventually reduce to essentially zero in the population. It is not 'fantasy land' we are talking about. There is no absolute protection. It is pragmatic measures to slow the spread so that hospitals are not overrun with those cases that are life threatening. Its not much to ask, to make an effort by wearing masks when
And you probably didn't have a problem with masks until 2020. I have a feeling you never told your dentist to take his mask off when he started to drill.
So, should I just wear 2 masks to help make up for someone else not wearing one? Update Feb. 10, 2021: Well, well, well... "CDC confirms that double-masking significantly helps prevent the spread of COVID-19" - Double masks decreased exposure by 92.5%, more than 2X what a single mask did. - Wearing a tightly-fitted mask reduced exposure by 60%, even when just one subject wore it. - That number was 96% when both did.
I suspect this is a joke, but still: One of the caveats at the end talks about how 50% effective doesn't tell us how the mask decreases transmission. This is significant for your idea, because two masks worn over another by the same person are not at all the same as two persons wearing masks. Masks are not just filters. So no, your strategy isn't effective.
Entcraft44 that's true, masks aren't filter, but they slow down the speed of air exiting the mouth, thereby limiting the distance the virus is able to travel. Having to travel through an extra layer of cloth DOES further decrease speed, so two masks would actually be more effective. This is why they recommend thick, multilayer cloth masks over thin surgical masks.
The equation should also include that wearing the mask wrong by some amount of people can increase the risk of infection. (Like, touching the mask can cause smear infection)
Think of it as a collective benefit: The more people who block the transmission of the virus with face coverings, the less virus there is circulating in the community. This reduces everyone's risk for infection.👍
I have never heard 'mask' being said so many times in less than 10 minutes. Thanks for the numbers, its fascinating how maths makes good things awesome.
“Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.” ― Charles Darwin
@Matt Guitar wooooah there. 1. BOTH Viruses and Bacteria have been SEEN with a microscope, not only that, even the process of infecting itself was observed 2. You are debunking outdated version of the theory, its kinda pointless. 3. There is no such thing as "symptoms in absence of pathogen", there is either another pathogen at work, or there is allergic reaction, or the body is attacking itself. 4. "Absence of symptoms with pathogen present" does not violate anything, because 1. Just because there are no VISIBLE symptoms does not mean there is no defence reaction at all, it just means its small, and 2. Symptoms are often not caused by the pathogen, but are a defence mechanism, eg. coughing or vomiting, so sometimes there are no symptoms if the body does not fight back 5. The answer to the chicked-egg situation is always evolution. Viruses are literally build only out of 2 parts: protein capsule and DNA/RNA. The genetic code of the virus is a "command" that causes the cell to replicate that code and build more protein capsules. In fact, it works almost like a computer virus - you have a machine capable of "creating code" (computer or a cell) and you have a piece of self-injecting and self-replicating code in a programming laguage of the machine (either a computer one or DNA/RNA)
@Matt Guitar 6. What toxins exactly? Where do these toxins come from? Why is body using that EXACT method of ejecting it from the body? Everything you said sounds believable until you start digging for definite proof. But unlike the theory you presented, the germ theory HAS answers for each of those questions, of course not for every case possible, but for enough of them to see this as a general rule. There are medical conditions caused by toxins (well alcohol intoxication for one) but that doesn't meant EVERY condition is caused by it and its not a reason to reject the germ theory, especially since it was confirmed by microscope observations. Think about it like this: if germ theory is completely wrong or conspiracy, then why people believe in BOTH germs and toxins? If it was just a false assumption then every disease would be explained by the germ theory to make sure there arent any exceptions, but this doesnt happen. We have diseases caused by germs, caused by toxins, caused by genetics, caused by radiation and each of those causes is well documented
Matt Guitar All of this nonsense is ridiculous, but the chicken and egg thing is just laughable. Remember evolution? Or is that also a conspiracy? New viruses emerge because old ones mutate. That is, new viruses get created through reproduction like literally any living thing. Of course the process in itself is completely different but there’s really nothing mysterious here. Asking «where did the first virus come from?» isn’t just a similar question to «where did the first chicken come from?», it’s literally the exact same question. It’s asking «where did life come from?». The answer to _that_ is actually a lot more complicated, and nobody has really figured it out yet, but if you’re surprised by the existence of viruses, you should be just as surprised, or, well, actually, a *whole* lot more surprised, by the existence of chickens, because last time I checked, chickens were a bit more complicated than viruses.
The creator of this video completely blew past the fact that most people experience only slight symptoms from COVID so the forced mask thing is stupid.
@@ThatGuyDownInThe it is people like you who are a disappointment to all. If you think wearing a mask is tyranny then you certainly have not seen tyranny.

The states with the highest infection rates (relative to population) are states where mask usages is lowest (Source: www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ (sort by cases/population)), mainly due to more people who refuse to wear masks (compared to the total populace).

@Saxon Sister I would try to disprove or correct you. But I am all too aware that you won't listen, but will instead skim or not even read my argument. Just so you know, you can't get upset at others not looking at your opinion, when you don't look at theirs.
Is there any chance you could do an explainer on why two people wearing one mask is more effective than one person wearing two masks?

If they know a suspect has a history of shooting at cops, it's not hard to imagine them wanting to make sure he can't do it again and use caution when approaching him.
I'm in the US, and I consistently see people "wearing" masks. They wear them below their nose or around their chin. Sometimes they wear the mask UNTIL they start talking, and take it off to talk (which is likely the most important time to have a mask on outside of sneezing).
It's honestly hard to hold out hope for humanity when guidelines this simple are so difficult for people to understand and follow.
To understand really ?
@Sean Davis Shut up pro-plaguer.
Spain made masks mandatory pretty much everywhere, yet new cases are skyrocketing. Sweden does next to nothing to stop pandemic, and new cases are slowly droping
I have a light beard and extend my mask slightly below my chin if possible. I was about to argue with the "around the chin" part until it sunk in with me exactly what you meant. The level of stupidity never ceases to amaze me.
It's probably harder to understand that all these rules fucked up your country more than the virus ever would have, in my opinion.
Diseases are part of life, and so is death.
I'm not saying everyone should die from this and stop caring about it, but reinforcing laws about personal behaviour is useless, you just inform and educate the public (something the US had a really hard time doing in the past decades, but I'm from Italy so who am I to judge) and then public supposedly will encorporate those guidelines into their daily life.
But this was done in such an aggressive way that people just got scared and now they do whatever they want or can just to feel like they still have control.
I get it, it was an emergency eccetera, but it's been what 7 months? If the US had to go to war I assure you it would have been done in a much more efficient way and much faster. But when it comes to the safety of the citizens it fuckes up. Such as other countries
If everyone were gamers, the transmissions would drop by 100%.
If it were possible. If every living person could isolate themselves for about ten days (I don't know what the maximum incubation and infectious period is) - we might be able to wipe Covid19 out. It doesn't sound like much of a sacrifice, does it, compared to the sacrifice we're making now. It's just not possible, though. Some of us have medical needs that mean we can't isolate ourselves for even short periods.
@@batintheattic7293 the only problem here is that there will be always someone not respecting it, that is the only reason why it would never work, unfortunately. And you would need more days because it is 14 days + the days the person is sick. So I guess you would need about up to a month to be sure. Not so realisable anymore, is it? And for the medical need, that wouldn't be a problem because someone could just send them to you days before the quarantine. But it is a nice thought indeed, just some will always stay ignorant and stupid...

Not making other people sick isn't the issue here. It's about politics making decisions and claims that aren't scientifically sound but claiming them to be. It's a whole lot more complicated then most people understand. It's not about simply wearing or not wearing a mask.
If we just talk about masks, then my first question regarding the topic is the following. What is important for/when using/wearing masks?
Don't tell other people what to wear on their face.
Don't tell other people how to take care of their health.
That goes for the government too - they don't have the right to play doctor.
If they have EVIDENCE someone is INFECTIOUS, they quarantine them. Otherwise, leave them alone.

I've loved your recent work with the coronavirus but I was wondering if down the line you could do a video on Anyons, I just watched your quasi-particle video the other day and with the recent possible evidence I think it's the perfect time for a good explainer on the weird buggers!
There are a few good ones out there but I haven't found any that make it nice and streamlined.
Very good simplification, makes the message easy and understandable.
Fascinating that even fairly "ineffective" masks can have a bigger effect than you'd think. Brilliantly explained, thank you.
We found the non mask wearer
@Kernal Scott 2 you would think that because of your own breathing issues that you would want other people to wear masks to help protect you, instead of calling masks a placebo lmao
@Jon Boy lmao wearing a mask is FREEDOM DESTROYING COMMUNISM
jar josh you’re cherry picking. if you look for a meta-analysis of these kinds of studies you’ll find the vast majority support the idea that mask wearing, cloth or surgical, reduces transmission.
I couldn't agree more. Do the research people.. "Mask" is only one letter away from "Mark" Go listen to "Event 201", "Agenda 21" and oh here's another fascinating tidbit,
Note who owns this patent... patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=WO2020060606&tab=PCTBIBLIO
Further caveats: infectious dose and viral load.
A single virus particle is not enough to make a person sick. There is a threshold that must be surpassed in order for a person to get sick. This is the infectious dose. Reducing the number of viral particles has better than a linear effect on the rate of disease transmission because doing so greatly reduces the probability of a person being exposed to an infectious dose within a given time period.
Also, the severity of a viral infection depends on the number of infectious particles in the body. This is the viral load. Reducing the number of viral particles results in less-severe infections. Aside from the obvious benefits, this also has a positive effect on the rate of disease transmission because people with a higher viral load are more contagious than people with a lower viral load.
So if you see that a certain mask is 50% effective at stopping viral particles, it actually has a greater than 50% effectiveness at reducing the rate of disease transmission.
I agree with your statement if the infectious dose is close to what is breathed out by someone. Then, even a poor mask could completely stop infection. But what if the infectious dose is much smaller than what is typically breathed out? Then a 75% effective combination of masks won't do much to reduce infection rate. It may reduce viral load and initial severity of infection but not the infection rate.
The problem is that physicists like to linearise everything.
@@loopbackish First you won't receive all the virus particles someone breath out, so only a fraction of it will reach your body, also when you are in close interaction to the patients you will choose more effective masks e.g. N95
@@lewislu8533 yes I would wear n95 if I were was with a sick person, those do protect the wearer.
Further caveat about viral load. Not all interactions are equal.
Infection threshold = viral load x time. Thus, a short interaction, say, an elevator ride, even maskless, would be basically harmless compared to chatting for an hour a few feet apart with two masks. An infected person can only expel so many viral particles per minute when merely breathing or even talking. But with enough minutes, even highly effective masks don't stop the spread.
"Reducing the number of viral particles results in less severe infections." There is not an ounce of data that supports that claim. I know the New England Journal of Medicine recently published a paper stating that is the case, but it was pretty roundly criticized as junk. Once you're infected, you're infected. It's up to your body how severe the infection is, not the mask.

@Harry Dingling what
I was told by my employer that government guidance says we're not allowed to wear masks at work. I work in a school. In the UK. My employer is actually lying about this as I've read the guidance myself. ugh.
That sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen
If your employer is a school administrator, you should record them saying that or save any correspondence they send stating that. Send that shit to whoever can discipline them for it.
I guess they read somewhere that primary school children don't need to wear a mask
My school have said they don't want us wearing masks and I would need to prove I had a medical reason.
I ignored the SLT and they frown, but don't have the guts to do more than intimidate.
Ultimately, the fallout for reprimanding a science teacher for following teir CPD and ensuring I am teaching current quality SMSC would be too bitter for them.
Plus parents wouldn't like the cover they'd find after I walk out.
However I'm fortunate to have good finances and be in a shortage field.
I can explain the mark on my reference in my cover letter.
@@SFSAtlas this is the case for the school where I work
The children are aged 10 maximum so they aren't required to wear masks, but all adult or person above the age of ten are required to wear a mask.
I honestly think that although the youngest children can't be expected to wear one or respect the measures as well as the older ones
But at 8/10 you're clearly able to understand and behave appropriately
this should be broadcasted everywhere and be dubbed of whatever country it is
I like the idea of this everyone talks about why masks don't work as well but no one talks about ways they could work better than we think
If you want real answers, you can't listen to news articles about masks that were put out AFTER Covid hit. Of course, they're going to be pro-mask. You can find things as far back as 2015 that talk about how they're smothering you. It's not really debatable. If they were THAT effective, we all would have been wearing them all our lives. If air is escaping from the mask to fog up the glasses, don't you think it's going other places too?
@@Farr50 1. We don't wear them all the time becusr there uncomfortable, the face is a sensitive area, also becuse seeing peoples mouths helps people socialise
2. The theat of deise most of the time is pretty small so there is little need

4.

@@Farr50 You shouldn’t trust sources that came after people started looking into an issue more, so instead trust sources that came from a point where knowledge about it is scarce?

I'm giving rough estimates. Don't quote me. But you can find the information. I'm sure the mask probably does cause protection. But at what expense? That's my point. Nobody wants to talk about what they're doing. I'd rather stay home than wear a mask
Hey, over here. From Spain, the most affected country by the Covid-19 in Europe)
You see, I usually see people wearing masks in the streets (because it's obligatory), but they take them off in risky situations like when you're sitting in an overcrowded bar, only one meter away (or less) from the nearest stranger, or when you're are hanging out with a bunch of friends.
The thing is, some people just get their masks put on so that they won't get fined by the police. It's not like they are assholes or something, I know they want their normal days back. But here's the thing, I am tired too and this thing already feels like a never ending loop.
This video gives me some hope and I really wish that those people could know how helpful wearing a mask can be.
I'll try to spread this as much as I can.
Keep strong, fellow inhabitants of this wonderful world.
Thank you.
There’s no need to wear a mask for something that has a 0.005% mortality rate. There’s even less of a reason for the government to tyrannically mandate that you wear anything.
Videos like these make me lose hope that people will stop being so stupid and actually look things up for themselves.
Greetings from a fellow Portuguese neighbor.
I want to point a couple of things to complete your comment.
1 - Regarding the "people just get their masks put on so that they won't get fined by the police". This applies to almost all the social rules (using phone while driving, drinking and driving, wearing the seatbelt, etc). Most people do the right things not because they know it's the right thing, but they are afraid of the consequences.
2 - I also wear a face mask on public places. But, given the mortality rate, is it really necessary to use everywhere? Is it even necessary to forbidden people to smoke in open public places so they don't take the mask off? You are being deeply affected by the virus, but I don't think that these measures will help anyone but the masks suppliers...
3 - You should change mask every 4h (if you use those blue thin ones). Does anyone control the use of old wear masks? The effectiveness just vanishes after those 4hours, so it's just another fashion adornment after that.
4 - Keep safe mate and keep strong!
Masks dont bloody work, its pointless. Yes they help, but the best is still washing hands and distance. In Denmark studies already been done showing 100.000 people having to wear a mask on average in Denmark with our current outbreak numbers, to prevent 1 case of covid19. Its so much fun living in a smaller part of the country now having to wear a mask in a gut damn half empty train...jeez. And if you want links to the study I will provide, this was shared by official people and state media.
@@pedromms8908 THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
In other countries in Europe they don't even wear masks in the streets but their infection cases are much lower.
It's just because some people just don't care, they don't want to get fined and that's all that matters.
I usually see groups of people on Fridays buying a lot of alcohol and I can bet that they didn't thought about hygiene mesaures and those stuff.
I think that if it were the opposite case, that people wear masks, get some distance in risky situations like when they are hanging out in groups and carry a tiny bottle of alcoholic gel so that they can use it after touching things that everyone touched (Like building's knob).
Even if they don't wear masks in the street, the situation would be much better and I would also prefer it that way.
But I think that cultural costumes are quite involved in what it's happing here... We can't tell people to do something and expect them to do it.
Thank you so much, mate. I really aprecciate your support.
Well, that actually changes depending on the country, but goddamit, 0'005% is really lol, you must be greek gods or something. 😂
I do agree that forcing people to wear masks isn't as effective as ot should be without raising more awareness about it. The people that didn't care won't do it now.
The death rate here has reached 0'055%, it may seem meaningless, but 30000 deaths of half million cases seems like a lot to me. I have friends that have lost family members because of this Covid-bitch. I wouldn't care that much if it only affected me. I mean, I consider myself a healthy person, I may suffer, but it's not very probable that I'd die from it. But everytime I feel tired of washing my hands 30 times a day and exhausted of wearing a mask, I think about my pregnant sister in-law and I think about my gf's parents who are a little old already. It may not be a major problem, but what if it is? I have a lifetime to regret the things that I could have done. If someone lives here, they must already know that there are a lot of elderly people here. And we reached a critical point in May that there were NOT enough equipment to treat the critical cases and the hospitals had to decide who lives and who doesn't. Probably quite traumatic for the nurses and doctors if you ask me.
Pls, don't underestimate the corona-bitch-19, that's how we reached that point and that's why we are still in this situation.

COVID IS NOT A POLITICAL ISSUE
@@aeircrown7994 just because you feel dumb, doesn't mean that was my intention.
I was sceptical to masks at first. I had heard that as long as you kept a social distance, the benefits of wearing a mask were negligable.
And perhaps that is the case, but when school started I had to move back to the city (I spent the "lockdown" at my parents) and that's when I realised that it's almost impossible to keep distance 100% all the time.
Just look at people in the store or people getting on and off a bus. Those are mostly primitive instincts. They're not standing close to eachother because they don't believe in the disease, but rather because it goes against the human nature to not do so.
Finally I must mention this study I read about where they asked people on the street two questions regarding how well people have followed the guidelines throughout the pandemic. The first was how well they had followed, the second how well others had followed.
This was the most common answer:
1. I've followed the guidelines pretty well.
2. Others have gotten worse at following the guidelines as time went on.
To me this clearly shows how little we know about our own shortcomings, and thus also why we should wear masks. We simply cannot trust even ourselves.
there is no benefit to wearing a surgical mask. And social distancing ONLY applies to people outside your household or outside of another household that is also social distancing properly. Meaning, you can go hang out with your neighbors and have an orgy if you feel like it. You can even go hang out with friends and family at their homes. The point is to avoid mingling with the general public. People you don't know, people you can't confirm are following recommended guidelines. As long as you keep it below 10 people even that really doesn't matter much.
What made you think you need to wear masks and social distance in your own home? Have you been doing that this whole time? Once you pass 14 days, there's no more chance the virus is present. And if you live in the same house you share a closed airspace. Masks and distance can't even work in that scenario even if that was correct.
I feel like DSHS should do a welfare check on your family tbh. It sounds like you are all developmentally disabled and that's just not fair to leave you all on your own to figure complex issues like this out.
@@ZennExile Hm, did you read the comment?
I feel that social distancing can go along with masks. We shouldn't get too comfortable with one or the other. When I go shopping and everybody is wearing masks, I am more comfortable with a little less distance, but still maintain distance when I can. The mask is another tool in the arsenal. What really blows my mind is that health officials faced the very same argument 100 years ago with the Spanish Flu. We have 100 years of science on our side and we are still arguing about it. COVID 19 is really contagious and can be spread by asymptomatic persons, though how much is still unknown
@@judyjohnson9610 that's called security theater Judy. Like the TSA has never stopped a single terrorist or hijacker, but you feel safer getting on the plane if you see people being molested by TSA agents at the gate. It's fake. Just like the efficacy of surgical masks or cotton DIY masks.
You are meant to "feel safer" so Walmart can keep people stuffed into their stores without being held legally liable for outbreaks. Because you agreed to mask mandates and that masks make you feel safer so they can use what's known as plausible deniability to avoid lawsuits.
That's what all this is really about. Mask Mandates serve 1 purpose and 1 purpose only. To keep the doors open at public venues while hundreds of thousands of Americans silently die in the background of your consumerist fever dream.
They just have to convince the general public that masks work, and then push mask mandates in the media. And here we are.
Zenn Exile ah yes because the business want their store to be mask free as a form of what? Freedom or maybe the freedom to unsubscribe to life.
Also let's not forget that we're speaking of exponential growth, not linear growth. If everybody wore a 50% effective mask this would mean every individual would effectively have a quarter of their expected infections per individual factored into the exponential growth formula for covid. Let's take an example formula for exponential growth where we take 100*e^3 which equals about 2008. Now we apply the 75% reduction to the exponent and find that 100*e^0.75 equals only 212 which is only about 10% of the original value before we applied our 75% reduction. Now obviously this isn't the exact formula for covid's expected spread, but this very clearly showcases the sheer power of attacking the exponent in an exponential growth curve, making masks and social distancing all the more effective the more people keep doing it. Added to this if we manage to get our exponent
None of these numbers are gonna change the fact that we all die in the end. The only thing that can matter is if life is worth living before we die. Living in the Covid Concentration Camp is worse than death.

@Harry Dingling Get educated.
@Harry Dingling no thanks
@Harry Dingling don't have to, I've been working on hospitals and I don't believe that all of this is a hoax. I don't care if it is covid (or sars2). People are dying for thinking like you.
@Harry Dingling ja ja that's not true, many scientists have calculated the "excess of death" already counting the amount of pneumonia cases in previous years and, apart from official data, they already count extra dozens of thousands more deaths from coronavirus.
And what about the tests?, what about the already well known DNA from the SARS-V2?, what about the tons of evidence about his existence?.
This is not a respiratory sickness, but away.
It's encouraging that wearing a mask is more effective than most of us realise. I was already going to continue to wear one, but now I have a better understanding of what it is I'm doing beyond just "reducing its spread".
+
Even more encouraging is that if you add on top of this the measure of Physical Distancing (something not mentioned at all in the video), the effectiveness increases significantly as well. As fewer 'Droplets' even come in your vicinity.
In the Netherlands we have for a while stopped the spread almost entirely solely on physical distancing. In public it isn't mandatory to wear masks here. ONLY if you cannot for whatever reason maintain the physical distance of at least 1,5 meters. So in public transport, at the hairdresser or in other crowded places. Unfortunately people are getting less careful and keeping less distance, so it is spreading again...

You drama queens! Stop it with the mask overreaction already. WE ARE SICK OF IT! More than the Covid.
Also, the Peak of the pandemic is long behind us. This is now a simple flu that is staying with us for a long time.
There are other things more serious now like the rise of communism and starvation and upcoming economic depression and unemployment and people who will lose their homes soon.
By December, no one will give a crap about this little virus.

This channel is truely helpful abd productive, it gives us great knowledge compared to other youtube channels who show all useless stuff
It should also be noted that R needs to drop quite a bit below 1, as R=1 means every infected person on average infects one other person.
Well, obviously the answer is, have people wear an infinite number of 50% effective masks.
200 iq here, or just get infinity% of people to wear them
Random Person holy shit that actually equals to exactly 1, i.e. 100% (sum to infinity of a geometric progression)
@@chronyx685 I may be wrong, but I don't think it's correct to say the sum *equals* 1, rather it *tends towards* 1. It never actually gets there.
actually a surgical mask is only shown in laboratory experiments to theoretically reduce viral load by 15-30%, and because stacking air filters together lowers the volume of air that can pass through them, by the 3rd mask you will have reduced to efficacy of the masks to infinitely approaching 0%
69th like. Nice
Finally, an effective informative video...thanks.
Thanks so much for sharing this!!
This video and the N-95 one serve as excellent means of educating the public about masks. Keep it up!
@Matt Guitar there's a really good video by conspiracy catz looking at the claims about kochs postulates, if you check the baldy catz channel there is a video that went out today linking a paper that forfils the modified kochs postulates for the Corona virus.

“Magic maths of masks”
Tongue twister of the year
Harder to repeat clearly while wearing a mask too😆
not really, really easy to say, its just an alliteration
This is a great video on the basics of masks. However there are a few things to take into account. 1. Proper mask use. Wash your hands before handling a mask and after handling a mask. Only touch your face or mask when you put it on or take it off. Touch your mask by the parts furthest from your mouth and nose, so by the strings or edges. As soon as your mask is on treat it as potentially contaminated. Dispose of disposable masks right away. Put your cloth masks in the washing machine as soon as you get home. 2. The majority of transmissions (atleast in the Netherlands) Take place in familial or friendly gatherings in which people tend to be lacks with the rules and not wear a mask. Be careful with these still. Don't shake hands, don't share food, don't sit closer than 6 ft to eachother. Do not attended if you have been in contact with someone showing symptoms of CoViD 19 for 14 days prior to the event and check eachother on this. Do not have gatherings that are larger than single digit if the room allows you to keep a 6ft distance. And most of all, Keep yourself in check, report your own health if you think something is wrong. Don't hesitate to call a doctor. Stay safe and healthy people.
Its all about control, but the sheepy will never understand.
YEs that would be a good addition to this video.. I Have seen so many people rub the front of their masks.. adjusting it touching it.. and then touch everywhere and everything. Drives mY OCD crazy just to see that.
@@annewood8673 What's with all this non-medical journals spams. Did anyone ever tell you not to trust anything you read online. Learn to use your head. Look at all the places where the spread is well controlled.. in other countries. They're wearing masks. Simple logic. Not that complicated. Use common sense. Get out of your damn cult.
Just in case people are wondering, The thing about the masks is that in the performed studies there was at best a marginal reduction in transmission if masks were properly used. The reason why I elaborated on proper mask use and just how much effort it costs is because improper mask use seems to increase the chance of infection marginally as well compared to not wearing a mask. There is however a significant reduction of transmission if infected people wear facemasks even if they are unaware of the infection. Meaning that these measures are blanket measures aimed at catching non-symptomatic transmission or through people who are unaware of the infection. It is an excersise in risk assessment and the government is chosing to take as little risk as they can by obligating mask use. Here in the Netherlands this is currently restricted to urban centers like amsterdam and public transport. In either cases the recommended distance of 1.5 meters for asymptomatic transmission is not always something that can be applied, so that is why. The 1.5 meters or 6 yards btw are to prevent transmission through just talking or breathing. Not for sneezing or coughing. The same as in any given epidemic/pandemic the best way to reduce the R0 is to reduce contact between vectors. As this is unrealistic in a functioning society, countries try a lot of different or variable methods to mitigate transmission. Whether they make the right choice in this is often hindsight. What you can do for yourself and what absolutely does work is being mindful of the health of those you interact with and your own and as sad as it sounds, limit contact with those who do have other heart/lung conditions. For you it may not be more than a flu, but be mindful of transmitting it to other people who are vulnerable.

Sir, I am a school pass-out studying for NEET.
Sir, as we know the total energy in the first orbital of H like atom is -13.6eV. and to excite it to first excited state of energy -3.4eV we need to provide 10.2eV energy.
My question is what if we provide some energy intermediate between the first energy gap and second energy gap say 10.5eV (I agree that 10.2eV will we used to excite it to the second orbital) but what will happen to the remaining 0.3eV?
A teacher told me that it will be used to heat up the atom, but how an atom can heat up since the atomic scale of thermal energy is kinetic energy?
sir it would be my great pleasure getting my doubt solved by the legend of physics like you please answer sir
Nice video, great link. One comment: Whenever building demo-material on chances and properties, please, do NOT use 50% as your value, use something asymmetrical like 40% or 33.3% (if you go with fractions). the fact that p = (1 - p) for p=0.5 makes for a great way of introducing confusion and diminish the learning effect. Don't sabotage your own goals! A lot of "incorrect" intuition is because people believe they understand a "50:50" chance, while they do mix things up in the process of thinking on it.
This was a good point. Even I derped up when figuring out the math for the relation here.
Some people after watching this video would make the conclusion: "I don't have to wear a mask, because everyone around me wears one." But if everyone thinks that way, we would be stuck in this pandemic for all eternity! The right thing to do is to act the way you think everyone should act. Don't make an exception of yourself, instead try to be an example. In the end, if it doesn't work, you at least know it wasn't you...
(This counts for litterly everything by the way. If you're interested in this way of thinking, look up Imanuel Kant
The problem is the poor thinking that will cause people to not even process logic and good info, if presented. It's quite a problem. This video assumes people understand how the virus spreads and why it's worse than the flu. That's a requirement most people don't meet.
@@O1OO1O1 Oh yes! That is so true.
That doesn't make sense. Wearing the mask still reduces the chance of transmission specifically to *you* regardless of whether others are wearing masks.
Well actually we'd get out of the pandemic quicker because we'd get to herd immunity levels much faster, albeit that would be way worse in the grand scheme of things considering MANY more people would get it and high risk populations would take a big hit.
@@SuperCasino77 herd Immunity apparently lasts 3 months (at least one person has caught Covid19 twice), so that may not work out.
Bruh, you can't just bring logic to the table!!
You just made a lot of dumb people mad!!
Too bad science doesn’t agree wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article meta analysis of actual medical research papers over the last 80 years, masks do no have an effect on viral spread.
Brian P the article that you mentioned CLEARLY STATES “In theory, transmission should be reduced the most if both infected members and other contacts wear masks, but compliance in uninfected close contacts could be a problem (12,34). Proper use of face masks is essential because improper use might increase the risk for transmission (39). Thus, education on the proper use and disposal of used face masks, including hand hygiene, is also needed.”
Ig you couldn’t read all of it. You weirdos make baseless conclusions on your 5 min google research and even that is skewed cuz of confirmation bias

@@brianp6859 So you're the stupid
Also it could have also been stated some facts about particulate size of aerosols containing infectious disease (covid) and pore size of common double layer cotton masks. Aerosols containing covid are larger than most pore size of woven cotton fabrics that when doubled and worn properly create an almost 100% effective barrier of covid 19. Not to mention that when 2 people correctly wear cotton masks like what was stated in the video.
Your pronunciation of aatish's name was perfect man. I know it shouldn't be my biggest takeaway from the video but finally seeing someone not butcher a indian name is so refreshing.
thanks sheandshoe
As someone who's always wore a maks since the beginning of the pandemic and is now anyway going through having covid I really appreciate this video and how well it's explained
You can also get covid if your eyes come into contact with the virus, too. Masks don’t prevent this, so where are those videos? At start of pandemic, masks were not effective. Then people bought all the n95 masks, and there was huge shortage and medical services were the only ones to wear them. Then we were instructed to cover our face with anything to stop the spread. Then we were told to get real masks. Now,we’re being told to double mask. Very soon we will be wearing full body suits. We’re getting sick, because the virus is transmitting into our eyes.
Glad ur uploading again
Ah you see tho i spray myself with lysol every 5 minutes and i have 99.9% drop in transmission
Another Caveat: This assumes people that wear masks are wearing them all the time. This is only true for community transmission of a virus. Not if someone travels to visit a friend and takes off their mask once they arrive. Or when mask wearers all meet up to go for dinner and all take off their masks for the duration of their gathering because they are eating/drinking. Really these circumstances of being in the company of people for extended periods of time are much more likely to cause a transmission than fleeting moments passing strangers on the street and in supermarkets.
Mask-wearing is reducing the community transmission, not eliminating it. Think of all the people sharing the bus/train with you... you’re preventing accidentally spreading it to them. If you then want to spread the virus to the random friends you’re visiting, nobody can stop you doing that.
“But I don’t have the virus, I don’t even feel unwell”. Two words: incubation period. You won’t know you’re passing it on to other people until AFTER you’ve already done so. You may not even get symptoms yourself; any overweight friends or those with asthma may not be so lucky.
@@happyspaceinvader508 Here's yet another word, Eyes... which is 50% of your actual face that is susceptible to disease. A 100% effective mask that blocks all viral particles to your nose and mouth, is only 50% effective at blocking the spread to you. Oh and the biggest caveat to all of this, is not that masks doesn't work, they only work for a select amount of time. Do you know why surgical masks are made the way they are made, and why there are 4 different types of them? Not only due to difference in quality, but well mostly, but the sheer amount of time you could wear one, without particles on the inside of the mask spreading to the outside of the mask. From which your out-breath could spread it on further.
The Major The mask isn’t to protect you from other people... it’s to protect other people from you. It’s to stop YOUR coughs, sneezes and other exhalations from getting into OTHER PEOPLE’s eyes. Did you even watch the video... or are you simply incapable of processing on any other level than your own self interest?
@@happyspaceinvader508 Hey, that was uncalled for. They're pointing out a problem with one of the claims in the video (that masks protect the wearer, too). They haven't insulted anyone or been rude, so why can't you disagree with them politely?
Pendlera Because it’s propagating the exact same argument those who refuse to wear masks use. And (in Europe) we’re heading into a winter and an exponential increase in cases.

Mad lad trying to kill more people than covid
Wow, brilliant video, thank you!
WHy this video is wrong here's the proof. ua-cam.com/video/EJJxtzXYKno/v-deo.html
This video has an important omission: the virus is here to stay. It will not disappear. So all we are doing with masks and reduced transmission is slowing the RATE of transmission, not the eventual EXTENT of transmission. Until we reach about 70-80% herd immunity the virus will continue to spread. There is a good reason to slow the rate of transmission, and that is to prevent hospital overload. But we are far far below any risk of hospital overload in all but a few counties.
Meanwhile the collateral damage of economic shutdown will cause immense harm for generations, with trillions in debt payments that will only come from young taxpayers and government confiscation of the wealth of retirees. Merely slowing the spread rate is not a sufficient excuse for the immense economic harm.

Hi I just found out about exoelectrogenic bacteria and am hoping you could do an episode on them! Electricity from bacteria?!!! too cool. I think you would be able to explain how it works really well:)
Can you please do a video on radio wave interaction with object related to their size?
I heard that when the wavelength is more than 10 times smaller than an object then the scattering follow the optical rule, if the wave is much bigger than the object then we have the Rayleigh scattering phenomenon, and when the wave is within 1/10 the size of object to equal size to the object then we say the object is in Mie region, so some scattering will follow the optical rule and some will creep around the object. Can you explain this phenomenon? Why it happen?. Furthermore when wave strike a border of different dielectric material, reflection also occur , does it still follow the Mie/Rayleigh/Optical rule?

Kinda like your approach to things that seem to be simple. A deeper look opens a total new world. Light Blue Blues - UA-cam
I don't know why everything has to turn into a political purity test. This should be a bipartisan issue that we can all work together on and help each other out. It's a shame our leadership has not set the example and helped make this whole thing go better.
I don't want to turn this into a political argument, again, it's insane to me that it even IS a political argument, we should be able to speak the facts, and institute policy that protects public health, without even disclosing our political affiliation. But since it has become a political argument I have valid criticisms of both sides and how they have handled this. First, the president hasn't been an effective leader in this crisis. And if he had been then I think it wouldn't even be all that political. He would always have his critics of coarse, but I think it wouldn't be nearly as polarizing as it has been if he had just advised people to wear masks, wash hands, and social distance from the beginning, and listened to his experts in his own administration to handle it properly. That said, and I'm trying to be delicate here, and give as much of the benefit of the doubt (I could be much harsher in my criticisms, but I don't want to feed into that). On the other hand, I've seen incredibly hyperbolic criticisms of the president from the other side, saying he's personally responsible for EVERY death. I think that is pretty unfair to make those accusations. Covid-19 would have come to the US anyway. It would have infected people. And people would have still died. And that's even if the president had done everything right from the outset. EVERY nation on Earth has had to deal with this virus. EVERY country on the planet has been impacted in one way or another. Placing blame solely on the president is very irresponsible, and acting in a purely partisan way during and election year.
I don't have a side in this conflict. I'm not pro any politician. I'm not saying who to vote for. And I've tried to refrain from saying who I intend to vote for, or not vote for. I think both sides have not handled things well, though perhaps in different ways. I think both sides have things they have said, or done, that has not helped us at all. And that includes blaming the other side, as well as whatever actions have been taken, or not taken. Maybe you disagree with that statement, but if we are being honest with ourselves, then we know this deep down.
So let's first, set politics aside, and beat Covid together. We have the power to eliminate the virus and return to some kind of normalcy. Perhaps not completely, the world has changed in some ways that we can't go back on. And perhaps this thing will make us more mindful of other infectious diseases, such as the seasonal flu, which also claims many lives every year. But perhaps we can make Covid a thing of the past.
Second, let's admit that no side is completely right. If anyone is trying to spread FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) we should not listen to them. If they are speaking sane and logical facts, and they are encouraging us to work together beyond political boundaries, then we should listen to that.
And above all of that, even if you can't get behind the idealism, even if you have disagreed with the majority of what I've said; if a business or a city or an organization has asked people to wear masks, we should wear them. We shouldn't be trying to find ways to get out of it. We shouldn't try to push back on it. We shouldn't assume they are part of some political agenda. We should just comply and wear masks to help protect the other people, the workers, and public officials we are interacting with. We should try to keep ourselves healthy, and protect our own families. Even if you don't think you will get sick, or you think you won't show any symptoms, how would you feel if you unwittingly passed it on to a loved one? A friend? A co-worker? Someone at the grocery store? What if that person had to go to the hospital? What if they had to be intubated (it's not pleasant, and can cause lasting damage)? What if they ended up dying from it? Let's not turn each other into enemies. Let's not spite each other. Let's instead think of those who could be impacted and hurt by our carelessness. Or even we ourselves could be impacted by it.
And let's not assign blame to others. Either getting mad that people are wearing masks, or that people aren't wearing masks. These people are not our enemies. They are our neighbors. Our community. Our friends. Our family. They are our fellow countrymen and women. We are all in this together. Let's be kind to each other. Let's be respectful of each other. And let's help each other out.😷💧👏
The first and biggest problem in the US handling of the pandemic was the complete ineptitude of the CDC and other government agencies. And I'm talking about the career employees here, not just the political appointees. These agencies are supposed to be an example for the world in their professionalism and depth of knowledge and instead they've been a global laughing stock.
For months they downplayed the risk from this obviously dangerous pandemic, and then actively lied to the American people by going out and saying to NOT wear masks, despite decades of research that masks are effective in protecting against respiratory infection. As the video alludes, Asian countries have known this for a long time and it's why mask wearing is so accepted in some of the countries there.
Of course, the President has greatly exacerbated the damage done since by making mask wearing a political statement.
This is perhaps the calmest and most well-thought call to action I’ve read on COVID so far. Thank you for putting in the effort to validate concerns from both sides and then encourage helpful measures for the sake of human decency. Mind if I share your statement on Facebook? I’ve got quite a few people who would find it refreshing, and maybe a few more who would find it instructive. Keep up the good thoughts - and good work!
tell that to the CDC
Everything has to be about politics now. Look at the uzaki protests, all because some people don't like seeing a short adult girl with big breasts. People just like to bitch about things for no reason.
Damn dude, I get your point, but why write a Thesis?
Why masks work better than you think
Karen's: I am gonna pretend I didn't see that
Medical Professionals and Scientists: This is pseudo science and Karen may be a raging 'see u next Tuesday' but she's correct in ignoring baseless conjecture.
You're confused...Karens are people who put themselves into others' business and want to make everything about them. So you maskholes bitching about what people are wearing are the Karens. Dumbass.

I live in Hiroshima, Japan and this past 9 months have been the longest time I didn’t catch any colds. There were no lockdowns placed and work in our company still went on as usual. It also helped that we were all given masks in our company and every door, gate and stair have hand sanitizer stations nearby. Wearing a mask is just common courtesy for everyone. That’s why Japan recorded less than 1600 deaths(as of 9/21) due to Covid19.
MASKS WORK SO PLEASE FFS JUST WEAR THEM
masks only slow things down. they can't possibly 'work' to end the virus except in dreamland. and while they are 'working' they are causing other problems. directly and indirectly. if masks in japan kept you all virus free then you were kept free of ALL contagious diseases of which there are a myriad that the human being needs as part of its acclimatization to its environment.
If masks kept you free of covid they kept you free of everything else - as you say, of the common cold even - and your body, your nation, missed out on a seasonal dose of adjustment and 'toughening' up.
You are effectively in quarantine with bodily defensive abilities slowly dropping and dropping while outside newer and newer offensive particles are being created all the time.... and inevitably they will get in... like smallpox to the Indians.
there are more bacteria in a human body than there are human cells and god knows how many more virus particles. it is the nature of our reality. they'e crawling all over you now, and all within you. you're immersed in a bath of them. you are a bath of them, it's bacteria that eat most of your food for you. it's your microbiome that even decides your moods and your attitudes. microbes is everything. that's microbes, not virus. I know. but if microbes are that important then you can bet your socks virus are equally important too - as perhaps this current thing demonstrates at least one side of.
But either way because with masks you're keeping out bacteria even more efficiently than you're keeping out viruses. Much more.
And if you think you're going to build a healthy successful nation of bacteria and virus free individuals then you're very much mistaken I think.
@@abrogard142 I'm guessing you missed the point of this video. Masks reduce frequency of transmission, and the effect is bigger if both persons in an encounter wear masks. If this along with other measures reduce the number of people that 10 contagious people infect to below 10 the virus will eventually reduce to essentially zero in the population. It is not 'fantasy land' we are talking about. There is no absolute protection. It is pragmatic measures to slow the spread so that hospitals are not overrun with those cases that are life threatening. Its not much to ask, to make an effort by wearing masks when
@@FredPlanatia i guess I demonstrated I knew that in my first sentence.
MinutePhysics, kinda telling that you don't have any videos on this subject beyond 2020.
And you probably didn't have a problem with masks until 2020. I have a feeling you never told your dentist to take his mask off when he started to drill.
@@kirkdubois8898 No one was forcing us to wear a mask or be fired and shunned until 2020.
Karens be like: how do you breathe if masks are blocking air?
You talk to the air's manager duh
@@sunderzilla you mean the mask's manager
I know it’s a joke and it IS funny but it still makes me go “UUUUUUUUUGH!”
How do nurses breath? Through their skin!! Duh! XD
@@tobiasj1630
They don't breathe.
So, should I just wear 2 masks to help make up for someone else not wearing one?
Update Feb. 10, 2021: Well, well, well...
"CDC confirms that double-masking significantly helps prevent the spread of COVID-19"
- Double masks decreased exposure by 92.5%, more than 2X what a single mask did.
- Wearing a tightly-fitted mask reduced exposure by 60%, even when just one subject wore it.
- That number was 96% when both did.
yes
I suspect this is a joke, but still: One of the caveats at the end talks about how 50% effective doesn't tell us how the mask decreases transmission. This is significant for your idea, because two masks worn over another by the same person are not at all the same as two persons wearing masks. Masks are not just filters. So no, your strategy isn't effective.
Entcraft44 that's true, masks aren't filter, but they slow down the speed of air exiting the mouth, thereby limiting the distance the virus is able to travel. Having to travel through an extra layer of cloth DOES further decrease speed, so two masks would actually be more effective. This is why they recommend thick, multilayer cloth masks over thin surgical masks.
Exactly, if you wear 2 50% effective masks you're 100% safe. #science
if you put on 1 extra mask for each person "out in the wild" that is not wearing a mask, you will single-handedly cure covid-19
how do you respond to the danish study that concludes that the third route (only the susceptible wears a mask) isn't near as protective as thought.
You lost me in the math, but the conclusion is simple: WEAR A MASK! :)
Totally agree! I try to always wear an N95, as they offer the best protection
@@johnnyb.6405 Me too! I usually go with the Protect Life N95 masks
@@davidblaine1994 Yes indeed! Protect Life N95 masks are the best!
The conclusion is simple: OBEY
Dude it's multiplication.
0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25
The equation should also include that wearing the mask wrong by some amount of people can increase the risk of infection. (Like, touching the mask can cause smear infection)
exactly.......🤦♀️
No formite transmissin is very low
Think of it as a collective benefit: The more people who block the transmission of the virus with face coverings, the less virus there is circulating in the community. This reduces everyone's risk for infection.👍
In that way it's actually really similar to vaccines, the herd immunity is really important!

“Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.”
― Charles Darwin
@Matt Guitar wooooah there.
1. BOTH Viruses and Bacteria have been SEEN with a microscope, not only that, even the process of infecting itself was observed
2. You are debunking outdated version of the theory, its kinda pointless.
3. There is no such thing as "symptoms in absence of pathogen", there is either another pathogen at work, or there is allergic reaction, or the body is attacking itself.
4. "Absence of symptoms with pathogen present" does not violate anything, because 1. Just because there are no VISIBLE symptoms does not mean there is no defence reaction at all, it just means its small, and 2. Symptoms are often not caused by the pathogen, but are a defence mechanism, eg. coughing or vomiting, so sometimes there are no symptoms if the body does not fight back
5. The answer to the chicked-egg situation is always evolution. Viruses are literally build only out of 2 parts: protein capsule and DNA/RNA.
The genetic code of the virus is a "command" that causes the cell to replicate that code and build more protein capsules. In fact, it works almost like a computer virus - you have a machine capable of "creating code" (computer or a cell) and you have a piece of self-injecting and self-replicating code in a programming laguage of the machine (either a computer one or DNA/RNA)
@Matt Guitar
6. What toxins exactly?
Where do these toxins come from?
Why is body using that EXACT method of ejecting it from the body?
Everything you said sounds believable until you start digging for definite proof.
But unlike the theory you presented, the germ theory HAS answers for each of those questions, of course not for every case possible, but for enough of them to see this as a general rule.
There are medical conditions caused by toxins (well alcohol intoxication for one) but that doesn't meant EVERY condition is caused by it and its not a reason to reject the germ theory, especially since it was confirmed by microscope observations.
Think about it like this: if germ theory is completely wrong or conspiracy, then why people believe in BOTH germs and toxins? If it was just a false assumption then every disease would be explained by the germ theory to make sure there arent any exceptions, but this doesnt happen.
We have diseases caused by germs, caused by toxins, caused by genetics, caused by radiation and each of those causes is well documented
Matt Guitar All of this nonsense is ridiculous, but the chicken and egg thing is just laughable. Remember evolution? Or is that also a conspiracy? New viruses emerge because old ones mutate. That is, new viruses get created through reproduction like literally any living thing. Of course the process in itself is completely different but there’s really nothing mysterious here. Asking «where did the first virus come from?» isn’t just a similar question to «where did the first chicken come from?», it’s literally the exact same question. It’s asking «where did life come from?». The answer to _that_ is actually a lot more complicated, and nobody has really figured it out yet, but if you’re surprised by the existence of viruses, you should be just as surprised, or, well, actually, a *whole* lot more surprised, by the existence of chickens, because last time I checked, chickens were a bit more complicated than viruses.
The creator of this video completely blew past the fact that most people experience only slight symptoms from COVID so the forced mask thing is stupid.
@@marcusstarman1849 and you missed that even without symptoms you to spread the disease to people who might die from it
Jesus Christ, some of these comments and replies to said comments really bring down my hope for humanity.
Same, that people want to force their fellow human beings to wear a muzzle is disconcerting on so many levels.
Maybe your idea of what humanity should be is the problem.
@@ThatGuyDownInThe I think Jonathan means you
@@ThatGuyDownInThe it is people like you who are a disappointment to all. If you think wearing a mask is tyranny then you certainly have not seen tyranny.
@@shaafalikhan3704 I think wearing a mask is security theater designed to enable companies like Walmart and Disney to profit during, and directly from, this AIRBORNE VIRUS pandemic at the low low cost of hundreds of thousands of American lives. But I mean for that to be true, Disney World would have to be.... open....
The states with the highest infection rates (relative to population) are states where mask usages is lowest (Source: www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ (sort by cases/population)), mainly due to more people who refuse to wear masks (compared to the total populace).
hearing "the 2020 pandemic" hit me hard
After watching this video: is "mask" even a real word anymore

@Saxon Sister I would try to disprove or correct you. But I am all too aware that you won't listen, but will instead skim or not even read my argument. Just so you know, you can't get upset at others not looking at your opinion, when you don't look at theirs.
This video is great. Thank you for making it.
Is there any chance you could do an explainer on why two people wearing one mask is more effective than one person wearing two masks? (The physics of source control, not how doubling up can cause poorer fit, though you could feel free to include that tidbit if you want.) I know what source control is and its importance but I can't seem to phrase it right to help folks understand. Thanks 💜
Show this to all the Karens, Henry.
Karen's will then say
"Call your manager!"
I don't think they could even comprehend basic mathematics, so it would be a waste of time.
Masks : *prevent covid*
Karens : bUT MUh riGHts
Meanwhile: a years-old social movement regains traction (for all the wrong but VERY OBVIOUS reasons) where a group of people are seeking to have their rights (or the rights of their FELLOW COUNTRYMEN) respected and protected by the law, after (multiple) transgressions (over many decades) have demonstrated that this particular social group's rights have historically been ignored or violated by a particular group of uhh...pigs.
Karens: I sleep.
Seems to be working for Australia
@@TheGamerNooob Horseshit. In practically all of the famous cases involving this specific group, the 'victim' was caught breaking the law, had a long track record of being a criminal, and was resisting arrest, or even fighting with the 'other side'. This supposed system(at)ic violation of their human rights is a complete and utter LIE. Sure, excesses exist, but they happen to ALL groups, not just this specific one, and the individuals deemed responsible are held accountable for it.
Also, this 'social movement' you speak of is a terrorist organization, and should be treated as such.
@@AO968 simply breaking the law is not a death sentence. Neither is having broken it in the past but not breaking it at the time.
It's murder. Plain and simple. The police are commiting murder.
@@dusklunistheumbreon No, they're not. If the suspect they're trying to arrest either has a weapon, or tries to take it from someone (especially a cop), the police are justified in shooting them, especially if their own lives are threatened.
And the reason I brought up criminal past is because this is often a reason for cops to be on their guard when they approach a suspect. If they know a suspect has a history of shooting at cops, it's not hard to imagine them wanting to make sure he can't do it again and use caution when approaching him.
As informational as this video is, can anyone please provide the music source?
It so relaxing and soothing 🥺
Any videos on effectiveness of masks by material and form fitting? Thread counts? Multiple layers of same and different fabrics?
No, but there are studies on that.
