Farts contain a number of different odorant molecules, including some as small as hydrogen sulfide, which is approximately 200 picometres in diameter (2e-10). That means the virus itself is 2-3 orders of magnitude larger than the smallest molecules that need to get through for a fart to be smelled. More significantly, this is not a virus that can survive in a dry environment, so the only way you're going to see transmission is via water droplets. Those droplets tend to fall in the 5-10 micrometre range (5e-6 to 1e-5), 4-5 orders of magnitude larger than the odorants in your farts. Knowing all this, creating a warm, moist environment around the mouth, nose and eyes is the plan? Giving Covid the perfect environment right in front of your face for when you do take off the mask, that's the socially responsible thing to do? --- The SBA has closed for business, we thank you for your patronage Assassins. ~there's always free cheese in a mousetrap. ...
