@AbraarKaran Please see Nature https://t.co/HqQUzs5GyX and the earlier PLoS path https://t.co/T2PxTslP2V - viral aerosols can be reduced by face masks. It takes a layered set of interventions. Face masks are part of the solution for the general public. Need respirators for high exposure work.

AI synopsis
What people are saying
Several discussions cite the key findings of the research, such as the 3.4-fold reduction in viral aerosol shedding when masks are worn. Phrases like 'it's settled science' and 'masks work by reducing the emission of aerosols' convey a tone of urgency and authority. This strong, affirmative language highlights the collective agreement and emphasizes the perceived necessity of adopting mask-wearing practices to minimize influenza transmission.
The majority of discussions reflect strong consensus on the study's findings, especially regarding the effectiveness of surgical masks in reducing viral shedding.
Many participants show high levels of curiosity, referencing specifics from the study and seeking to understand the implications.
Discussions indicate a deep engagement with the research, as users share quotes and details from the publication, analyzing its significance.
Participants perceive the study as having significant implications for public health practices, advocating for mask use based on the findings.
Abstract in brief
- The study investigates the role of surgical masks in reducing the transmission of influenza virus aerosols in exhaled breath, highlighting that masks significantly lower viral loads in both coarse and fine particle sizes.
- Fine particles contain a much higher concentration of viral copies than coarse particles, with masks resulting in an overall 3.4-fold reduction in viral aerosol shedding.
- The research underscores the importance of monitoring exhaled virus aerosols to understand their contribution to seasonal influenza transmission and to guide future transmission studies.

@ewebb74483935 @craigkellyXXX So you deny the basic fact that viral fragments are breathed out with every breath you take? Have a read DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1003205 Then read the other paper I linked to on exosomes.
@DannyTheZebra You sure? "We collected samples of exhaled particles (one with and one without a facemask) in two size fractions (“coarse”>5 µm, “fine”≤5 µm)... Fine particles contained 8.8 (95% CI 4.1 to 19) fold more viral copies than did coarse particles." https://t.co/77en8waaJZ

@JonStanich @ianmSC @spaceisace The virus triggers a cough, which transmits large infected particles. Masks reduce large particles by 25x. Masks block fine particles by 3x.

@AbraarKaran Please see Nature https://t.co/HqQUzs5GyX and the earlier PLoS path https://t.co/T2PxTslP2V - viral aerosols can be reduced by face masks. It takes a layered set of interventions. Face masks are part of the solution for the general public. Need respirators for high exposure work.

@Igolfwithease @cmattingly4uk @TacitusCulper @KySportsRadio Except there is evidence that wearing normal masks helps prevent viral shedding. I am unaware of any studies done for shedding on cloth masks, but have seen studies suggesting cloth masks do help reduce aerosolized partical intake https://t.co/O444Ztdy6Y

@LarryBoorstein @KarlRovey @DrMattMcCarthy @YouTube Masks do not prevent you from getting it, it prevents the spread of aerosols. Surgical masks reduce viral shedding in aerosols by 3.4 fold https://t.co/DVgpTd6JwF
@EricRWeinstein 3.4 fold reduction of viral shedding in aersols https://t.co/DVgpTd6JwF
@GregAbbott_TX Address masks. Studies show even surgical masks reduce the spread of viral aerosols 3 fold. People can sew their own. Until we have more testing to find asymptomatics we can reduce spread. https://t.co/DVgpTd6JwF https://t.co/aWkEyyCsm8

@HakaLasse Koronavirusten koko on noin 120 nanometriä (0,12 mikrometriä). Aerosolit ovat kooltaan 0,002 - 100 mikrometriä. Sairastunut uloshengittää viruksia ilmaan (linkki). Minua saa tyynnytellä oikeilla perusteilla koska näen mielestäni ristiriitoja.
