Face Masks The best face coverings were able to filter 99.9% of particles, while the worst only 7%
Best reusable face masks and coverings Independent Which? lab tests reveal which face coverings are best for superior filtration, breathability and comfort – plus the poor face coverings to avoid
Our research shows that the type of face covering you buy matters, as they vary significantly in effectiveness. We've tested 27 face coverings from high street and online brands to find the best options if you're in need of a new mask. We've found some brilliant Best Buys that filter particles effectively while still being breathable so they are comfortable to wear. But we also uncovered some poor face coverings that blocked as little as 7% of particles, which we recommend you avoid. As well as core'The best face coverings were able to filter 99.9% of particles, while the worst only managed a paltry 7%' performance on filtration and breathability, we assessed how comfortable and well-fitting the masks are, and how they stand up to repeated use and washing.

Airpop Pocket Mask, £24.99 for 4 (£6.25 per mask)
Which? score 94%
This hybrid ‘semi-reusable’ mask is made from three layers of spunbound, non-woven polyester and nylon, similar to disposable masks. It has a foam nose bridge and a collapsible design. It's superb at filtering particles – 99.9% before washing, and 94% after five washes. And it’s still light and easy to breathe in. Airpop says it can be worn for 40 hours and up to 10 washes before you need to retire it, so it is a more costly option than a fully reusable mask, but it’s a great choice for higher-risk scenarios such as crowded places or public transport. Pack instructions are minimal, although the Airpop website has comprehensive use and washing information. You can also buy a small case to carry the mask in (£10). The Airpop Pocket comes in white and black, and there is an Airpop kids' mask which is similar but smaller, and comes in white, blue and pink. They're available at Airpop and Amazon. Are they recyclable? We checked with Wilko - which has launched a trial drop-off scheme for recycling disposable masks in some stores - and it told us the Airpop masks could be recycled via this scheme.

So masks don't protect you from a deadly cold virus. Now go ask yourself why are you still wearing them? hint: Brainwashing.
Happy new year!
N95 respirators are only rated for their ability to filter emissions down to 0.3 micrometers[3], larger than any virus you listed, and yet they are used successfully throughout the world in settings where airborne viruses are present.
The actual scientific evidence[4][5] strongly suggests cloth face masks are in fact quite effective at blocking these particles and reducing transmission.
So masks do protect you from a deadly virus.
If anyone is being brainwashed, it's the people who believe and repeat this sort of nonsense without any reference to what the scientific community has learned.

The thing is you have got all these people who know **** all about viruses becoming experts overnight, the scary thing is that some dafties believe them.
BARNEY CALMAN: Some types of mask are vastly superior - namely, FFP2 masks, the ones that look like a beak. But, unfortunately, they're not the kind most people are wearing.

Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi last night said he and Boris Johnson saw schools as their 'No 1 priority', adding that they wanted to 'do everything in our power to minimise disruption'. The wearing of masks is not a legal requirement, but Ministers expect schools to follow the guidance, which also applies to teachers and support staff. The measures will be reviewed on January 26, with a Government source saying they 'will not be in place a minute longer than they need to be', and adding: 'It is obviously a better classroom experience without masks.'

Listen to this you can do it while playing poker. Don't hear it, listen to it.
I wonder how many of you would follow this experiment through to it's fatal conclusion.
The Milgram experiment(s) on obedience to authority figures was a series of social psychology experiments.
Read about it here.
Here is the video in case your hard of reading.
Brainwashing is hard to overcome. I can't cure you, but if you make time and do some critical thinking and do your own research you just might come to a "fair and balanced" view of the situation.
I found it to be a very insightful observation. It definitely reminds me of something but I can't quite put my finger on it...
Have been called enough names that have been trotted about which I don't believe resemble close to what I actually believe on this issue. Sure the same goes for others to a degree.
It's an emotive discussion with little agreement taking place. Disagreements and discussions are good for learning in the right environments, approaching it can be tricky.
But perhaps parodying the words of someone who died far too young of a virus due to not taking the then-recommended precautions may not have been the best option...
Was it in "Conspiracy Nutjob Weekly"?
