Corona is a virus, not a bacteria. Will they do that petri-dish test on the spread of real Corona?
As someone who has been a lab tech. That illustration shows the microbes that are caught on the plate in the experiment. In this case the experiment is exposure by methods as labeled.
It isn’t implying this is Covid-19 on the plate but showing how our exhalent and any microbes/infectious agents carried within it has significantly diminished spread due to covering the mouth and nose of the one coughing/sneezing/singing etc.
As to earlier comments about the experts saying masks do not work then changing tune.
Originally they were speaking about people not catching the virus.
The masks as worn are not a great defence against self infection, and at the time PPE shortages meant those on the front lines needed to have all available supplies.
Now we have supplies beyond what front lines need we can wear them to protect one another, not ourselves but each other. Clear STO.
