The Government Recommends Masks

It is a respiratory virus it will not enter cells that are not part of the respiratory tract, its spike proteins target respiratory cells.

In theory it could get down the eustachian tubes in your ears but it is extremely unlikely as the type of cells that it would fall on are largely skin cells and the virus does not survive long on skin and the wax in your ears would likely finish it off nicely.

In an aircraft taking off you would get pressure from the inside of your body to the outside on landing you would get the opposite effect as pressure increased once more perhaps if someone coughed on your ear droplets could make it as far as your throat, but really it is incredibly unlikely.

Anyway if someone was that close to you it would land on your eyes and the mask would be useless anyway as the viral particles in aerosol are much smaller than the pores of the mask.

Masks don't protect you they protect everyone else from you when you cough or sneeze by reducing the immediate distance that the droplets can travel.

I for one am not dying for a beer in cafe

Yeah nose plugs and a mouth plug problem solved no chance of catching this virus ever

Damn it I'm still wrong you could still get it through your eyes for a few minutes

Apparently old style vacuum cleaner dust bags are a very effective barrier to virus particles and can be used to make masks.

(btw: I did watch your TikTok video )

This is just a fraction of what that link points at


the actual block with the video player is referred to here and uses some kind of callback into the javascript to actually execute the video, presumably on an HTML5 canvas.


This site works off having an actual file resource of some kind to point at or for the vendor to support easy embedding of their content.

For photos it is usually .jpg, .jpeg or sometimes .png, movies might be .mp4 or .mov or various other formats but generally the browser will have some native way of rendering these formats and the file resource will exist as a discrete entity somewhere.

For some of these sites the underlying resource is being seriously obfuscated.

He didn't John, it's a Facebook link, I have shown the BB Code used for his example.

I must admit that wearing a face mask for a Filipina we know, made a lot of difference for her looks.
now if she could only keep her gob shut, it would be heaven...
