Study says if you do this with your mask on, the protection rate drops dramatically

Most reasoned analysis elects face masks as our most effective countermeasure against the COVID-19 pandemic. Of course, there are a lot of variables to consider as far as the application is concerned. 

We know that our transmission risk either decreases or increases considerably depending on the material our mask is made out of, but what about the influence our behavior poses while wearing one?

Thankfully, a new study published in the journal Physics of Fluids employed detailed computer models to determine the expected flow patterns of small coronavirus virions released when a mask-wearing individual coughs repeatedly. The data suggest that frequent coughing can greatly reduce a mask’s efficiency.
