口罩防護力五倍於不戴口罩

Claim: ‘Face masks don’t work’
Wearing a face mask is not an iron clad guarantee that you won’t get sick – viruses can also transmit through the eyes and tiny viral particles, known as aerosols, can still penetrate masks. However, masks are effective at capturing droplets, which is the main transmission route of coronavirus, and some studies have estimated a roughly five-fold protection versus no barrier. If you are likely to be in close contact with someone infected, a mask cuts the chance of the disease being passed on. If you’re just walking around town and not in close contact with others, wearing a mask is unlikely to make any difference.

[生活美語] What is Phytoncide?

同學，多多呼吸新鮮的空氣吧~

Take a deep breath of that fresh air!

★★★★★★★★★★★★

解說板原文如圖: https://goo.gl/fmmiKW

更新的英文翻譯版:

Forests are often called the “lungs of the planet.” They take in carbon dioxide, hot air, dust particles, and even noise while releasing life-sustaining oxygen and cold filtered air. People are able to fully relax in the forest because of the aromatic Phytoncides emitted by the plants.

By providing us with soothing sounds, green scenery, and a natural environment in which to exercise, forests offer our mind and body numerous therapeutic benefits.
