🤣 Why can't you answer my question? We start at 90%. What does it compound to over half an hour?

I've answered your question. You are just refusing to recognize reality at this point. Pandemics are created due to unchecked transmission of a contagious disease.

No you didn't. We start at 90% risk of infection. What does it compound to in half an hour?

Yes, I did. Go reread my posts and do the math yourself. Your little contrived example isn't how this works. Pandemics occur over large geographic areas in the span of months and years. Much of the transmission is in passing and not in small rooms where people are sitting together for a long time -- that's what the lockdowns/social distancing target. Duh.

Any evidence for this? Also, the idea that letting through 90% of COVID aerosols magically stops the spread despite the laws of physics is pretty amusing.

It's amusing that you think letting through 100% has the same effect as letting through 90%. You don't seem that great at physics, tbh.
