Question: Why do surgeons wear masks?

@wajoma said
the stupid clothe mask is no good for processing vapors ijit boy.

It's pretty good at catching aerosols though.

@wajoma said
When handled correctly to stop large droplets and foreign bodies from entering an open wound. Foreign bodies hundreds of times larger than a virus.

Viruses don't float around in gas phase Wajoma they're floating in liquid droplets

A filter on car exhaust would absorb a lot of pollutants and disperse the stream making it much less hazardous to the people nearby.

You should get a job at Nissan.

Vehicle manufacturers have multi million dollar R&D departments trying to get their vehicles below ever more stringent emissions controls, some of these emissions controls actually make motor vehicles less efficient with lower MPGs, they all use resources which would otherwise be used elsewhere, the consumer ends up paying for this.

If only they'd heard of the man called AThousandYoung they could have saved themselves and vehicle buyers millions of dollars, people with engineering degrees, hi tech equipment, workshops, prototypes, testing, and after all that ATY walks in and solves it all with nine words. "A dang it all filter is what you need" Forget all that tech talk about the vicinity of people, and streams, a somewhat average chess player on a correspondence chess site had the answer all the time.

But your post is analogous to the mask evangelists; No1 Miss Representor, shag doody for brains, zahlooney bamboozle, and their blind unquestioning faith in their knowledge of the miracle powers of the worthless face nappies.

Haha, like a 5 year old. That's what this was all about, as if we didn't know, frickin ijit.

divegeester thought he was being crafty setting up a trap, how long you been doing this? 😆 😀 🙂

Edit: the boards 5 year old:

"Q. Why did people wear masks during the covid 19 pandemic?

A. Because masks reduce the chance of spreading bacterial infection."

Wuflu is not bacteria dumbo, you've been told already.

Good god, you’re as thick as a rendang stew.

Not trying to hide anything by editing out viral, you've tried the same trick before and I've edited it out before, I was making a point, sad you can't grasp it.

LOL, LOL

There are numerous reasons the surgeon and his mask are not applicable to mask mandates for general pop. The surgeon (like myself) has had training on how to wear and handle a mask, he doesn't hang it on the mirror of his car for weeks on end using and reusing the same virus farm, he knows to only handle it by the straps, during the operation he doesn't put it up and down between sips of his coffee, he doesn't stuff it in his pocket, or as per shag doody in the ladies hand bag he carries around, trying to get kids to handle their masks under the same strict protocols as surgeons was at once hopeless and child abuse. As it turns out It was futile trying to get adults to follow good mask protocol.

More harm than good.

Surgeons don't wear masks to stop patients getting wuflu, No one obeyed good mask protocol. Which has been my point all along; incorrect mask handling (which was every single instance I saw) during the scamdemic did more harm than good. The mask was the incorrect tool for the job for it's immeasurably few pros (the few droplets in your exhale) there were hundreds of cons (the liters of vapor exhaled), people aren't walking around with the skin pulled back from a rib cage wedged apart and organs exposed, the surgeons mask is to stop large foreign objects from entering an open wound, you're going to get a good dose of antibiotics anyway when you get opened up.

To think 'mask' 'surgeon' and to be unable to go any further, to be unable to reason further is embarrassing, I'd credit an inquisitive 5 year old with more critical thinking than you, No1 Miss Representor and shag doody.

Mask zombies embarrass themselves. Those few ijits still wearing one: LEARN TO DO IT PROPERLY

Edit: Apologies No1 I shouldn't have included your name on this one, as has been noted before you steer clear of the surgeon/mask red herring.

It is not. The liquid or solid particles in an aerosol have diameters typically less than 1 μm

Yes, droplets of spit which contains all sorts of bacteria. Masks can stop those because they are big.
