Not all masks are N95 people. It's crazy the amount of grandstanding and virtue signaling going on here. I have had a P100 mask for years with filters in stock, and I am wearing it out on town if I have to.

- tomerico 7y agoCan you explain why a P100 would be worse than N95?
- seppin 7y agoN95 doesn't "stop" COVID19 other unless you wear it over your eyes too.
- newguy1234 7y agobut it does stop covid from entering through your nose and mouth....which is the most likely path you are to get it.
- kijin 7y agoNothing stops 100% of viruses. But if everyone wears something -- anything really, even a handkerchief or a piece of toilet paper -- that reduces the chance of infection by 50% for example, there will be only half as many infections compared to the case where nobody wore anything. After a few rounds of 50% reduection, even a mediocre mask will be able to reduce the number of cases by 99%. And that's all we need to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed.
- stjohnswarts 7y agoPeople don't realize the viral load is as big a deal as type of virus .
- arminiusreturns 7y agoNever said it did, but it's all about probabilities.
- nerdponx 7y agoIt was funny to see all the disposable N95 masks sold out at the hardware store, but all the reusable respirators with replaceable P95 cartridges still in stock.
