If anyone can actually find and post the study tht would be great. I couldn't find it.
The numbers are coming in conclusively that masks play a significant role at reduced covid spread to near "non-existent" while using planes for travel.
Yes, the air filtration system on planes (both high capacity and HEPA/Merv-13 or better which is a step or two better than most minor surgery operating rooms) plays a significant role as well.
So, it pretty conclusive from this and many, many other studies that masks(kn95 as best, surgical as next best, two layer cloth and tight fitting as next best) make a tremendous difference when air capacity and filtration is low and in close proximity to others.
