[ARC5] AB5S Kung Flu Update, 13 June - source?

[Scott Robinson]

HI Bryan,

About filtration:  the E95 mask isn't designed to filter out viruses per 
se, but to catch the water droplets we exhale, which contain viruses 
present in our respiratory systems. I agree that filtering individual 
viruses is a harder problem.

Otherwise, I'm with you. Quit playing with bats!

Peace,

Scott Robinson
