- Surgical masks protect against bacteria from entering a sterile field during surgery and are not designed to wear for anything more than 4 hours in said situations.
- Viruses are smaller than bacteria and pass straight through a surgical mask.
Viruses aren’t what you think. They are like cancer cells. Your body makes them.
You can NOT catch a virus
Your body doesn't make cancer cells you potato. It's what happens when their self destruct cycle refuses to engage. They are immortal cells that something in your environment has triggered to not die.
Yes, you can catch a virus with negative results after it abuses your body into reproducing them out of control, triggering your body to kill the manufacturing point. There are useful, and also deadly bacteria/virus combinations to us as humans.
You missed my point entirely. You can't "catch" cancer from someone. Cancer is an auto-immune response of your body.
Likewise you can't "catch" a virus. A virus is an auto-immune response of your body.
You can catch bacteria from your environment, however, you can't catch a virus because viruses don't exist outside of your body. Just like cancer. There aren't cancer cells floating in the air. Likewise there are no virus cells floating in the air.
