STUDY: measurement of facemask efficacy for filtering expelled droplets during speech

Tue, 2020-08-11 13:42 — mike kraft
Low-cost measurement of facemask efficacy for filtering expelled droplets during speech Mandates for mask use in public during the recent COVID-19 pandemic, worsened by global shortage of commercial supplies, have led to widespread use of homemade masks and mask alternatives. It is assumed that wearing such masks reduces the likelihood for an infected person to spread the disease, but many of these mask designs have not been tested in practice. We have demonstrated a simple optical measurement method to evaluate the efficacy of masks to reduce the transmission of respiratory droplets during regular speech.

EDITORIAL: Kansas tested whether mask mandates decrease COVID-19 cases. The results were clear

Kansas tested whether mask mandates decrease COVID-19 cases. The results were clear Do we really have to ask anymore if masks slow the spread of the coronavirus? kansascity

Do masks work? Better yet, do we really need to ask?

Apparently so.

OK. But as the national debate on whether masks inhibit the spread of COVID-19 goes on far beyond its logical conclusion, what should be a new closing argument has just been made. In Kansas, of all places.

Trump considering blocking Americans from returning to the U.S. if they’re suspected of having the coronavirus.

Mon, 2020-08-10 19:02 — mike kraft

 

President Trump is considering new immigration regulations that would allow border officials to temporarily block American citizens and legal permanent residents from returning to the United States from abroad if authorities believe they may be infected with the coronavirus.

In recent months, Mr. Trump has imposed sweeping rules that ban entry by foreigners into the United States, citing the risk of allowing the virus to spread from hot spots abroad. But those rules have exempted two categories of people attempting to return: American citizens and non-citizens who have already established legal residence.
