Re: [Vo]:Useful information on masks
When you think about it, I don`t think masks have ever been designed explicitly to keep stuff in. As far as I know masks have traditionally been designed to keep stuff out. Keeping stuff in is a new concept.

[Vo]:Useful information on masks
This is off-topic, but important. It turns out that cheap, throw-away "surgical mask, 3-layer" type masks work best. These are the ones you can buy anywhere nowadays. Office Depot sells them cheap. See this research article in Science: https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/early/2020/08/07/sciadv.abd3083 Knitted and bandana types are not recommended. >
