You’re not necessarily trying to stop an individual virus; you’re trying to stop a droplet of saliva carrying a bunch of virus. It’s been shown effective in a few ways. It also stops cold and flu transmission.
Remember, this isn’t airborne in the technical sense; that’s why social distancing works pretty well too. Both are better than either alone.

So with the new variant threat on the upswing. I was going to not address this but, I might as well ask now.
concerning mask usage. The against argument is that the virus is so small it can pass right through the mask fabric. So what is the thought process? Does a mask stop transmission or is it a feel good measure to give people confidence that something can be done to prevent the spread? a measure of something better than nothing?

It may have spun up this way. We've been getting big rains since Sunday. Mowed the yard this morning at 7:00 because it was the only foreseeable dry time before we leave on Friday.

I have their entire catalog. Probably my favorite album. Certainly in the top 2 along with Aja. Guitar work on "Green Earning" is amazing.

Ad Bax, whose lab that video came from, was a very fast-ass rider in his day, in addition to being a brilliant scientist, and is still killing it on the roads around here.

Mid-August in So Cal, and it's mid-60s with drizzle this morning. I'm loving it!
I did a MTB ride yesterday evening on a route that I always seem to pick when the temps are north of 90. Mid-80's and a bit more shade than usual (later in the day), and I crushed my PR on the 2.5mi climb.

My Grandfather was some kind of Shriner. Mostly what he did was dressing as a clown and visiting kids in the hospital, that sort of thing.

Yesterday 4 of us went up to Camp 9 from the Santa Clarita side. I was drenched from sweating in that humidity but we actually felt a little cold while hanging around at the top.
