If it is transmitted by droplets, they droplets hold the virus. If it is
airborn, the virus does not require droplets to carry it, it is carried
in the air. Here are a couple of articles that explain the different
and precautions needed for each. Although the one article talks about
it is known that Covid is carried in droplets, I do not believe that has
been determined.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Its a respiratory illness, of course its airborne. Think about the
word: air, meaning that stuff all around us, borne, meaning carried
upon. The virus gets carried upon the air when people cough or sneeze.
It also gets transmitted by being wiped on things. There might even be
other ways we don't know about yet.
Also, a respiratory illness will be transmitted through the mouth and
nose, covering them up will slow (but Phillip is right it won't
prevent or stop) transmission.

Perhaps. Seems logical a large group will spread things. Is the virus
airborne or not? We still don’t know. If it is, masks are a total and
complete waste of time. We would need to be wearing gas masks or
something.

Or could it be the masks are actually leading to increased cases? This
could be due to the fact that masks are trapping crap that you are
then breathing in. Or maybe the masks are creating a false sense of
security?
