The filtration efficiencies of cloth masks improved when multiple layers were used


But even so, the most optimistic estimates suggest that cloth coverings only have a minor effect on your chances of breathing in (or expelling) droplets containing a virus. A small study of 21 healthy people concluded that a “homemade mask should only be considered as a last resort to prevent droplet transmission from infected individuals, but it would be better than no protection”.

最後の手段としては有用で、
Dr. Dweik confirms that those homemade masks, often made of material like cotton, won’t do much to protect you from inhaling particles that carry the virus. But they do protect wearers from possibly spreading the virus to others.

There is evidence that such masks reduce the exhaled aerosols from infectious, but asymptomatic, individuals.” he says. By blocking the exhale of virus particles in to the air around you, your mask is keeping the virus from spreading.

Overall, we find that combinations of various commonly available fabrics used in cloth masks can potentially provide significant protection against the transmission of aerosol particles.


予防につながるという研究結果もあるわけだね。

いずれにせよ、マスクは息苦しくて嫌い。布マスクで息しやすいとか宣伝したのがあったけど、あれは、逆に感染防止用としては効果は薄れるんじゃないかね?
