Free radical,
I've been fully vaccinated and have had direct exposure 4 times. I failed to contract covid.
My guess is I got lucky, or have a good immune system, or both!
I'm nervous as I fly tomorrow--and masks are no longer required.
Regards, Don

I'm in the airport in Regina. I have not seen anyone else wearing a mask.
I guess folks like to gamble.

Hi Don,
Masking does little except to muffle which is does excellently.
To demonstrate take a mask outside on a cold day. Breathe normally, sing, shout, and any other breathing activity you wish to test.
Then mask up. Do you see the difference. Bottom line is the mask limits the travel of condensation. Now the where and why of distancing becomes clear. The medical community made for poor communications about why masking is important around other people.
Cheers to good health and fortune.

Mex, don’t you need to know what type of mask (cloth, surgical, kn95, n95, etc) before you make such a statement (masking does little)? Do I need to repost the “real world effectiveness” studies on masks?
I am currently not wearing masks because of my vaccination status and recent infection during BA.5 and community levels are low here. My parents wear masks 100% because my father has an autoimmune disease which minimizes his immune response to vaccination. One of my coworkers is wearing a mask because he will be visiting his grandmother soon and doesn’t want to inadvertently bring her Covid.

If exhalation condensation as a cloud reaches eight feet visually you can be assured within that cloud it can carry virus. In a reverse role, an N95 will stop spittle but not an airmass of heavy contamination. Masks greatly inhibit the spread of virus due to sneezing or coughing. But in a heavily contaminated environment such as an indoor event overly saturated with infected people the danger of contamination is great.
I base this on physical studies conducted after ship loads of returning soldiers infected with the H1N1 virus included medical teams. They wore masks even when sleeping in a separate environment.
Another excellent example is found with airline passengers. The "Third Seat Syndrome". Masking everyone plus strict establishment of distancing works. Period. I also base my hypothesis on military studies of ABC contamination.
The N95 five layer mask is a superb inhibitor of contamination projection. I should have included this in my opinion. To wit test projection with Lesser masking including cheap single layer masks or at the worst, scarves. Projection distances increase dramatically.
Seeing is believing. Masking. Distancing. Avoidance of heavily contaminated environments. Frequent hand washing. I sought information comparing the contamination levels within different mask media (For example N95 versus cheaper single or bi layer masks but could not find a reputable source).
I would welcome reading point specific material addressing this issue (contamination projection distancing).
And thank you sir ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile")

Mex,
I'm using n-95 masks. They are about 10 times better than the more common "surgical" masks. They are NOT perfect--but one does what one can do!
I was fortunate to have a seat vacant beside me, and behind me, too.
I did get my #5 booster and this years flu shot 17 days before I got on the plane. I did use a betadyne spray, too.
Just reporting to the list with my personal experience. And that was almost no one had masks on.

I ask we NOT get back into the mask/not mask debate. There is already sufficient information regarding their effectiveness, or lack of, and few people are going to change their minds. Thank you.
