Original Note:
SARS2/COVID is airborne, and cannot be prevented via hand washing. Sneezing and coughing into an elbow cannot trap aerosols, unlike a well-fitted respirator, or even snug ASTM3. This is outdated information that the Government of Ontario is presenting to the public. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/types-of-masks.html https://www.wired.com/story/the-teeny-tiny-scientific-screwup-that-helped-covid-kill/ https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2022/12/21/Ten-Downplayed-COVID-Facts/
