Whats the risk coronavirus of wearing a mask indoors for more than an hour with everyone else in the room masked?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Supposedly, if you believe the "experts", masking and social distancing is highly protective. But cloth and paper masks are not highly protective, and inside, if poor ventilation, according to MIT report, viral droplets can spread widely within a short time. An N-95 respirator seems the best but also most expensive.
