Isnât that odd, when wearing masks has been commonplace in Japan for decades?
That article is from 2014. Yet, suddenly now, the right has a problem with it?

Noemâs office did not give specifics on any threats, but her spokeswoman Maggie Seidel said her security team recommended the fence. Noemâs administration had proposed the fence last year, but she abandoned the plan.
The South Dakota Republican has championed a hands-off approach to managing the coronavirus crisis. She also raised her national political profile in the past year, including tying herself more closely to President Donald Trump, who spoke at Mount Rushmore on the eve of Independence Day this year. Seidel said that Noemâs handling of the pandemic had put her at odds with some people.
âIn America, we debate issues; we donât turn to violence,â Seidel said. âBut it only takes one, and per the Governorâs security team, putting up a fence around the residence is critical at this time.â
Noem has become a frequent guest on Fox News as she has staked out controversial positions on the pandemic, frequently downplaying the danger of the coronavirus and welcoming large gatherings in her state.
Most recently, she welcomed one of the largest gatherings of people since the pandemic began, the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. She has also argued that schools should reopen this fall and pushed back against requirements to wear masks.
Oh, god, I hoped it was just us. 
All the coolest fascists are doing it!!
I wonder if someone on her security team knows someone with a fencing company?
Savvy republicans probably invested in companies that produce walls and barrier fences back in 2016.
So does the actual study (which I read before making this post)
There is also, I think, a problem in their methodology. Breath is damp, and condenses on the masks in cooler or humid climates. I donât see that accounted for in the experimental setup. If the two-layer masksâ operating principle is indeed static charge attracting smaller particles into the weave, then I have to wonder if the effectiveness of the approach diminishes with condensation. 
Also, I have to wonder if freezing condensation is going to be a problem come winter.
In case youâre wondering how Dollywood is dealing with the pandemic
Those details donât matter if idiots refuse to wear masks.
They will probably use your questions against you and tell you that condensation makes masks useless and in cold weather more condensation occurs⌠Oh, I hate this already.
Well people buy lottery tickets for a 1 in 300 million chance of winning money. If the mask was only 1 in 1000 of keeping you from DYING, it seems like people would think it a reasonable thing to do.
It looks like her family has already surpassed a 10k goal. I hope sheâs able to follow her educational aspirations.
On the âItâs Not Just the Oldsâ front:
And now the cheapest way to catch Covid-19 and spread it to your family.
Such conclusions, which were sometimes supported in news stories by the authors themselves, are too strong for a study its authors describe as a âproof-of-concept.â
But is the model any good?
So it seems that even a well fitted N95 mask offers significant degree of protection. Spending 30-40$ on a N100 respirator seems to be a good idea then (like 3M 6000 series with P3/N100 filters).
Fauci has been replaced:

As Politico reported Thursday morning, Atlas â but not Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nationâs top infectious disease expert â now meets with a smaller group of influential Trump advisers apart from the White House Coronavirus Task Force. Others in the side group include Dr. Deborah Birx (the Task Forceâs leader), Jared Kushner, Adam Boehler (CEO of the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation and Kushnerâs former roommate) and Stephen Miller.
And thanks, once again, to Stanford and the Hoover Institute.
