Since this is a hooker board let me try to explain in terms of sex, pregnancy and barrier contraception (forget other contraception as possible). Two tenets: the hooker doesn't want to get pregnant and you don't want to get the hooker pregnant.
So, you bareback her anyway and CIP. If she is responsible and uses the diaphragm, then that is a physical barrier; your little vermin can't get to the "sensitive parts". That's the function of a fitted N95 mask..high percentage of air inhaled passes through the filter and the vermin don't pass through. Of course there is a relative small failure rate...with both.
So, she doesn't use the diaphragm, so dammit, you use a condom. Another physical barrier, but in this case it's your responsibility to use. You CIP, but this time not really, your vermin were caught in the bag. That is the function of the surgical or home made mask or shield. High percentage of the vermin you shed don't pass to her. Of course, there is a relatively small failure rate...with both.
Finally, the hooker is on birth control pills. You can both go at it naturally. You can CIP without a diaphragm or condom without worry of pregnancy. The flaw here is that the "receiver" of the vermin is the only one truly protected,you're not in terms of covid. That is the function of vaccination, she's immune; if you're vaccinated, you're both immune in covid context. Of course there is a relatively small failure rate...with both.
In very high risk areas, health care workers wear positive pressure "helmets" or even bodysuits (mini space suits) that provide very high levels of barrier protection by airflow regulation.
Waco, I don't know what OR you were ever in, but surgical masks are used to protect the patient from the surgeons and staff (not to protect the operators), and primarily to maintain a sterile field in terms of bacterial contamination by nose and mouth secretions.

it isn't hard. many posters myself included have said masks are not completely effective, especially low grade cheap ones. i haven't said they aren't useful either. there is a reason Doctors wear them in surgery. but Doctors also don't wear hazmat suits. should they? absent a virus patient that is. and in that case it's the Doctor being protected not the patient. for normal surgeries the masks Doctors wear are intended to protect the patient.
even heavy cloth surgical masks that can be tied tight aren't completely effective in preventing the spread of virus if a Doctor happens to be infected and presumably doesn't know it. so why don't Doctors use N95 masks in surgery? because generally the reusable cloth masks they do wear are overall adequate.
the statement made that masks, most common types anyway, are not 100% effective is true.

I’ve been wearing them my whole career. In an OR setting, with open wounds, yes, in normal everyday life, no. Covid is an airborne pathogen. A cheap mask, or alternative is useless. I won’t post studies, because there are many. Social distancing is a joke too.

and despite this being a hooker board why bother even trying to compare bbfs to this covid situation? i find that analogy both frivolous and irrelevant. one is a risk you knowingly take the other isn't. if you don't want to get the clap use a condom or don't go fuck a hooker at all.
for this virus people can't entirely avoid it like they can with a session. you wasted 3 paragraphs on a nonsensical analogy
