Sounds like something from a horror movie!

I will argue this is wrong: Only N95 or better masks have studies proving their effectiveness. I don't think we have good data on weaker masks or even "home made" masks- It's totally possible they are also effective, with proper technique. Please somebody show me data that proves otherwise, I'm totally open to it. (Note: I'm not saying I want you to post opinions from people in authority, I'm saying I want to see dat…

From the paper: > If the neuroinvasion of SARS-CoV-2 does take a part in the development of respiratory failure in COVID-19 patients, the precaution with masks will absolutely be the most effective measure to protect against the possible entry of the virus into the CNS. It may also be expected that the symptoms of the patients infected via facal-oral or conjunctival route will be lighter than those infected intranasa…

>need to be conserved for public health users. I think we should all ask ourselves why we take it for granted that we should simply have to ration masks. Why aren't there enough masks available for everyone for inevitable outbreaks like this? Why don't we have the industrial capacity to manufacture masks in the US, leaving us reliant on foreign imports? We spend ~$80 billion dollars a month on our endless war, milita…

Very possibly because the olfactory bulb is basically a bit of the brain exposed to the atmosphere. See the illustration on the wikipedia page [0]. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olfactory_bulb
The retina is basically an extension of the brain as well, no? If not, what is the key difference? Do you have a link talking about the atmosphere?

Yes, only a N95 or better mask would protect you from incoming, as opposed to outgoing, viruses, and these masks are both impractical for everyday wear and need to be conserved for public health users.
Meanwhile in South Korea everyone has masks. In WWII we built one bomber an hour at one plant, and now we can't figure out how to build millions or billions of masks.

Would this explain the apparent sudden collapse of people on the streets in China and Iran? [1] [1] https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/people-collapsing-coronavi...
