@granudisimo "what do you think the aerosol is, but a high concentration of small droplets?" - For fuck's sake:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airborne_transmission#Routes_of_transmission
Airborne infections usually occur by the respiratory route, with the agent present in aerosols (infectious particles <5 µm in diameter)."
https://www.who.int/news-room/commentaries/detail/modes-of-transmission-of-virus-causing-covid-19-implications-for-ipc-precaution-recommendations
"Airborne transmission is different from droplet transmission as it refers to the presence of microbes within droplet nuclei, which are generally considered to be particles <5μm in diameter"
"Masks are used successfully in operating rooms" - To prevent the staff from spitting pathogens into the open wound, not to curb viral infection. I recently had a surgery and had to get tested for COVID-19. Why would they do that if everyone in the room is wearing masks? Also, masks worn in clinical settings are not indicative of mask performance "in the wild". In the operating room the mask is worn as PPE, universal masking is being used as a fashion accessory. Touch them, stick them in your pocket, put it on again. It's completely impractical to wear masks as PPE in "real life".
"is not out of whack because it's not an argument, it's empiric data" - Buddy you not getting what my comment meant, which is fine, is not empirical data. Maybe I'm distracted and my sentences don't make much sense, maybe you're not paying attention. Whatever. You misunderstood me and thought that I said droplets were smaller. No. In the context of airborne diseases, we consider aerosols to be smaller than droplets. A non-airborne disease would be easier to stop because shielding and masks would stop most droplets. But when we're indoors wearing masks the aerosolized particles and just floating. People coughing and sneezing will have their projected particles caught by the mask for the most part, but people without symptoms will just be shedding virus despite the mask. Your argument, which was asking me to prove something I never claimed is indeed completely nonsensical.
"You were the one talking about asymptomatic carriers specifically." - Yes because people without symptoms are being forced to wear masks
"you can scream at people's faces" - I don't do that. Maybe you do, but I don't.
"help you get out of the pit of ignorance" - Amazing. Says the person who can't even tell the difference between aerosol and droplet transmission.
