Alarming to hear so many ill-informed people discuss the return of #masks - have they forgotten that instead of ever preventing any infection (Bundgaard et al) they are more often than not the direct source of bacterial infection to the respiratory tract? conservativewoman.co.uk/the-cruel-mask…
Bundgaard et al Randomized Controlled Trial on surgical masks: NO SIGNIFICANT STATISTICAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEDICAL MASKS & NO MASKS INFECTION RATES:
"The difference observed was not statistically significant"

Bacteria & fungi on face masks:
"While we wear a face mask, the humidity becomes approximately 80%, in which bacteria can survive and grow.. since fungi & their spores are resistant to drying, they can survive under the condition where masks dry out."

Cotton & Surgical Face Masks: Bacterial Contamination:
"Cotton masks mainly contained Roseomonas, Paracoccus & Enhydrobacter taxa & surgical masks Streptococcus & Staphylococcus..43% of these isolates were resistant to ampicillin or erythromycin."
