What did we learn from the video? My take-away is that VOCs do indeed build up behind masks, which is a concern that has been expressed before. This demonstration has nothing to do with the dynamics of how coronavirus might be contained behind a mask or spread without one. This demonstration reminds me of the demonstrations that Dr. Oz performs on his show - demonstrations that have nothing to do with the phenomenon being described except to provide a visual. "Look at how the fat melts away!" (it was some kind of water soluble starch or something being doused with water...).

I think this will be a huge help in communicating with those who might dig their heels in.

Thanks!

It certainly does make a point! I was a bit curious about the video creator, especially given his "see you in a couple years" sign off and the response in some of the video comments. Turns out he came out of "retirement" to make this after not posting a video since September 2017.

Just my kind of video. Thanks a lot of fun. Thank gosh it was done outside. Not a demo for the faint of heart.

I just ran across a mask effectiveness video you may find interesting.

It's not one of those lab coat/goggles professional type ones. This one

is aimed at a more blue collar audience and definitely gets the point

across.

It's not something you would do for a class demo. See how many safety

issues you can find.
