And the study went something like this.
20 studies were reviewed. The studies reviewed were studies that studied masks on either the mouth and nose or just the chin. So, this study involved 10,000 healthcare workers. And the conclusion drawn by the review of studies (cohort study) was that there was no difference in the rate of virus transmission between those who wore the mask over their nose and mouth for a 12 hour shift compared to those who wore one over their chin.
For that reason, you will see many more nurses and respiratory therapists wearing masks over their chins instead of their mouths and noses.
Head of the study, Dr. Ven Tolon, said that, "Yes, we think that there are pores surrounding your chin, and covering them up sets up a force field effect that prevents viruses from being inhaled. We are thinking this may be a good explanation explaining the explanation of this study of studies."
