Well IDK but the government of UAE doesn't seem to agree with you lol
Hence, the statement they made above.
As for masks in general. they are useless against coronavirus as it spreads with touch and not breathing. It can only help stop an already infected person from spreading it to others by coughing on them, but provide no help to a non infected person.
bhai, there are 4 'Routes of Entry' through which any substance will get deposited in human body.
1) Injestion 2) Inhalation 3) Injection 4)Absorption
the most common being inhalation.
Now when you said that Virus is spread through touch, that is 'Process of Entry' - how virus reaches the point where entry is made into the body. but regardless of whatever POE is, ROE will always be any of the above. So now i want you to review above 4 categories and let us know where 'Touching' fits into the equation.
I highly doubt that a virus will get absorbed into skin, it's a different case when there is an open wound will epidermis and dermis have been punctured.This way the virus will entry the blood stream under the fatty tissue in skin....
@RescueRanger is correct in every aspect. UAE govt is trying to avoid the state of panic that is all.....

I was on mobile hence response was limited.
Most common route of entry for a Biological agent is Inhalation when droplets from infected person are inhaled. An infected person when sneezes on other person or coughs, tiny droplets containing virus are released into the environment. When someone inhales into that environment, those droplets can be inhaled into the body, reaches alveoli & enters the blood stream during gas exchange process in lungs. Since virus is smaller than 0.3 microns it will not be filtered out by the mucous lined membrane in nose or trachea or bronchi. Face Mask in this case will offer protection to the Health Care provider / Professional, as route of entry is protected.
The second most common route of entry for B.A is Ingestion. When you eat or drink in an environment which has been exposed to virus, it will gain entry into the body through Ingestion process via mouth. Hence it is prohibit for health care professionals to eat in work environment. When they are away from work they are required to wash hands with proper solution to ensure that any deposits of the B.A have been eliminated......
N95 mask will offer protection to the patient as well as public since you have eliminated the spread of droplets
Gov of UAE is a GOV, i am talking science.. Please click the link, it's peer reviewed! Thanks!
The guy you quoted clearly lacks the knowledge on subject matter.
reminds me of a time when I was asked to put on an Overt Vest to go into Hot Zone which was rated to provide protection against cut, slash & Blunt trauma (non blastic). When they handed me the vest it felt odd so I asked the person if I was expecting to be beaten up by Pipes or being stabbed. The guy smiled and thought I was joking, I repeated myself again and shown that I was seeking his confirmation. He said no, but there could be Small Firearms. I responded to him in a bit harsh tone, that why the eff he was handing me a vest which was not rated for SAPI. The guy had confused Non Ballistic Trauma Plates with that of NIJ III inserts. Had I not inspected my PPE properly, I would be getting into a hot zone with false perception of the protection.
Hence it is best to educate ourself on the equipment we are going to use or intend to use. Sadly our people don't pay much attention to this aspect and just go with the flow, do as others are doing.....
