[depends on] how the mask is worn and many other factors, such as the amount of COVID around in the community

"the amount of COVID around"

Yea, science.

"Holy shit batman, the covidometer says this guys got over 9000 covids!"

How would one measure this preceding his publishing this "informed response"?
How exactly does one measure a covid, that elusive virus that cannot be isolated?
How many flu is in one covid?

The scienceman answers the posed question, he claims knowledge of this, knowledge higher than that of a layman, I am simply asking what he based that knowledge on and how he came to possess such wisdom. He has made a claim, I have made no claims. I merely encourage rebuttal by way of investigating unknowns. I'm also mocking the faggot.

The assumption of the reader must be (but isnt) that this man has conducted a study with varying "amounts of covid around" and that through the variation of the "amount of covid around" he was able to identify a distinct causal relationship between rate of infection and the "amount of covid around".

We all know this didn't happen, so none of his little speech (and that's all it amounts to) matters.

I am not a man who is ignorant of the Sciences. This however... is a copy of readers digest.
