My brain hurts from trying to analyse that. I guess as you breathe in, the pressure gradient sucks the virus into the filter, but when you exhale maybe some gets forced back out of the mask back into the air?..... But then there would probably be a LOT of adhesion from stopping the latter. If you've ever used a N95 to keep cement dust or plaster dust out, you'll be familiar with how well they work in saving our lungs... and end up dust encrusted very quickly. |

The reason the protest started and some trucks drove all the way from Vancouver to Ottawa was because of the newly instituted Federal rule that truckers had to be vaccinated to cross the border. Previously working truckers could cross the border unvaccinated in order to keep the supply chain functioning. The protest has now pretty much morphed into a full antigovernment protest of "we are sick of Covid and Covid rules". "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

| missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 96 Posts: 3107 | That makes sense. I've no dog in their fight other than the waste of money aspects; I assume the truckers themselves have had to "eat" all their travel expenses. I read that the convoy idea was the brainchild of some far-right looney who felt her province should secede from Canada. |

Not including vehicle depreciation. Could be higher in Canada. More than $8 million was raised on Go Fund Me, to support the truckers, but the site refuses to give the money to the truckers and says it is returning it to the donors. |
