Worried about your #neckgaiter and/or #buff you've been using as a mask cos of some headlines you've seen? I gotchu. Tl;dr that study did NOT say that all neck gaiters are worse than not wearing a mask. I'll elaborate in the thread: 1/x

2/x First, the study itself: You can find it here: advances.sciencemag.org/content/early/… published Friday, peer-reviewed and all that. It was NOT a paper testing different kinds of masks; it was showing that there may actually be another way to test masks.
3/x Why come up with another way? It's wonky: the big standard ways that groups like @niosh and the EU test masks—like N95 masks—require a lot of precise lab work. It's so hard to measure, a casual DIY mask maker can't do it at home, or even a small lab without the right gear)
