Clearly you have to improve the public mitigation efforts in order to curb the infections from making their way home to begin with. I don't know what measures could be taken at home once the infection is there. To make matters worse, oftentimes, by the time an infected individual expresses symptoms, the spread most likely already occurred at home. |

I've been keeping a close eye on some of these hotspots and they're significantly slowing it appears. So I'm hopeful if we can control things without hardcore tools, that we can keep that up around the country. |

Yeah, not sure what that's about. It could just be explained by error (which is what the bars represent).
I didn't read the methodology, but in theory maybe people are more cautious with nothing than they are when wearing a fleece mask? Regardless, I wouldn't read much into it beyond "fleece isn't good." |

Neck fleeces, also called gaiter masks and often used by runners, were the least effective. In fact, wearing a fleece mask resulted in a higher number of respiratory droplets because the material seemed to break down larger droplets into smaller particles that are more easily carried away with air.
Folded bandanas and knitted masks also performed poorly and did not offer much protection. "We were extremely surprised to find that the number of particles measured with the fleece actually exceeded the number of particles measured without wearing any mask," Fischer said. "We want to emphasize that we really encourage people to wear masks, but we want them to wear masks that actually work." |
