The fact check is obviously incorrect. But note that this research also considers "baking" in oven at 70 celsius for 30 min, and other tests.

My point is that so-called "fact checking" here was incorrect.

> Dr. Ho Pak-leung, a microbiologist and director of the Centre for Infection at the University of Hong Kong, described the video in the misleading post as “fake news” in an email to AFP on January 30.

In a mask shortage the question of whether masks can be sterilized and reused should never have been dismissed out of hand.

We have medical professionals working without masks as we speak due to the shortage.

Many of our trusted experts have been feeding us misinformation exacerbating the problem.

Yeah the fact check is about steaming (which is totally unrelated and closer to autoclaving, which doesn't work)
