"The device ... allows electrical potentials of up to 40,000 volts to be obtained in a compact device ... The efficiency of the masks was tested after being washed in water; efficiency was significantly restored after brief exposure to the electric field generated by the device."

So, to everyone who's being crushed by their family, friends, coworkers, etc, into feeling like they have no choice but to embrace the deception and denial: we see you. We hear you. We support you.

4/4

"pathogens collect on the outside of masks and lead to more risk of infection" is a prelude to "masks are too dangerous; wearing them is prohibited"

@TheMemeticist option A) it's milder than ever and that many hospitalizations means an absolutely gargantuan number of cases; option B) it's all of a sudden gotten incredibly severe. Either way... ? 😷
