    Fairly sure this is not time-dependent. If it was, a cheap folding hand fan would totally clean your shop - - if only you operated it long enough.

    Try slipping a 5Hp 3600 rpm motor onto your box fan. That might get you the differential pressure required to overcome resistance of the screen (= flow). Sleep tight. Sleep cool. Bring ear plugs.

    Just in case the analogy is still hanging out there perilously and incomprehensibly, this 5Hp is a bit like breathing. You inhale or exhale hard enough to overcome the resistance of a mask - or the wifey's hand trying to smother you at night.

    I'll let y'all debate exactly what and how much benefit the masks provide.

    How about those who won't wear a mask like the state requires stay home instead? It doesn't bother me so much if you choose not to wear a mask when they are not required by state order. It really bothers me when you chose to flaunt a state order.

    I live in Minnesota where the state requires masks in public. I was at a store the other day and a whole family walked by without masks on. I don't know how they got by the door guard, but I suspect they took the masks off once they got in the door. Most law enforcement agencies won't enforce the mask order even though there are penalties for not wearing masks.

    I thought the mask protects the wearer as well as others. Get over it, it will pass.
