vapor can be partially reduced in how far it travels, maybe even partially blocked, BUT, it can also be trapped, and re circulated into the person wearing a mask, and THAT, is a problem.

I’ve made the same observation that vapor can travel and collect much further than the recommended 6 feet if it is mildly forced and given added momentum, but it is just as bad, to take that same air, BACK into our lungs. we’re effectively reducing the quality of air in our lungs and increasing the rate of illness, because the more concentrated we make it during incubation, the more intense an infected person can emit it.

CDC needs to consider this.
