And, so what if the mask is successful charged positively, but worn incorrectly such that escaping viruses are accelerated away from the mask?
We have to chalk that up to user error?

A covid19 concentrator of sorts over time, then I'd guess... hmmm. Joking, of course. I'd forgotten you'd mentioned it. Good idea, naturally. (What else IS a mask if not a virus collector-concentrator, after all?)

Personally, I can immediately see the superior design aspects of utilizing either electric or electrostatic fields in such a mask as outlined by both Cybermortis and The Light Works, above. However, since, to some, it may seem easier to use magnets instead, my fear is that a line of inferior, and quite possibly cheaper masks would hit the market, possibly making a joke out of the initial "ballooning" premise, and basically ending up a scam. Something like this hokum: www.overstock.com/guides/magnetic-bracelets-benefits-explainedActually, it's worse than the above nonsense because a somewhat believable argument can actually be made for using at least the positive pole of the magnet. Though it falls apart after that, I think.

Instead of making new mask types, it would be a lot easier to create such a device as a replacement for detachable filters used in existing mask designs.
