droplets >5µm drop within 6 ft, aerosols <5µm float for hours. cloth & surgical masks leak 40-90 % around edges, stop mostly the big drops you can see, not the tiny ones that actually carry viral load. if someone’s sick the smart move is stay home or use a fit N95, not virtue-signal with a leaky...

So I guess a Mars-Earth Bitcoin Blockchain is "kinda" feasible, but once you get out to the Belt, other sys...
