Bill Nye explains the importance of wearing masks in the viral TikTok
Science presenter Bill Nye took up misinformation about wearing the mask and its effectiveness against COVID-19 in a TikTok post Friday.
The video from a former PBS host responded to claims by skeptics of the scientific consensus about preventing transmission of the virus, who had considered whether the spread of microscopic viruses ever hinders sutures of cloth or a surgical mask.
Using a filter and other tools, Nye demonstrated how the body fluids through which COVID-19 and other viruses are transmitted have been stopped or largely reduced with a mask.
