The coronavirus diameter is .06-.14 micrometer. It is a fairly large virus ( Ou. et al. 2020).

  • 2009 Medpage Today article on use of masks against disease and during surgery, A very balanced article that discusses conflicting studies.
  • Dr. Meehan strongly says that masks are useless against viruses and describes how surgeons wear special masks in high-oxygen conditions to prevent droplets even though studies hve shown masks reduce the surgeon's performance. (March 10, 2021). He is not especially an authority.
  • Good op-ed on the folly of masks in the American Conservative (August 2021), including the switch from when it was Trump's vaccine to Biden's, the folly of cleaning surfaces, etc.
  • New reason to carry a mask. Mr. P. asked if anyone had some string to tie off the intestines of a sheep we were butchering. Voila! Perfect length and elasticity. Carrying masks, you always have string at hand. Might replace the paper napkin for graphs, too.
