All we have at this point is social distancing. And masks thats why the nations top coronavirus doctor Anthony Fauci is now recommending universal masking but all face coverings are not equally effective brian todd reports. They come in so many different styles materials and designs from a 95 surgical masks to bandanas knitted masks even socalled gators those stretchy bands of fabric that cover the neck new study from researchers at Duke University has advice on which masks work and which dont gators or fleece masks they say you should stay away from the bandanna according to the researchers may look cool but doesnt work. Well, the duke researchers tested 14 different kinds of masks, they shine here, it doesnt light from a laser through slits in a dark box, a person spoke one phrase repeatedly into the box to create problems. They used a cell phone camera to record the droplets then counted the droplets that were let through by the different masks the ones that work well they say and 95 surgical masks for the best letting up very few if any droplets but those should be reserved for frontline healthcare workers, those standard surgical masks the light blue ones that many of us can buy at stores also work well they say and all the cops master is tested. They were great. The duke researchers say theres one kind of mask that they believe does more harm than good the fleece mask because of the size of droplets it let through. Whats notable here is that you see a lot of particles and lots of little particles. So this is actually counterproductive because the little particles that could generate is from big particles their studies not meant as an endorsement of certain masks. Other experts are hopeful that this kind of advice can be communicated more clearly to the public acknowledging theres been way too much confusion. We should not have any confusion on the mosque wearing this is confusion that we the front line workers. The government.
