Yeah, I was asked to remove my NOISH N95 and put on a surgical mask. How about no?

- ceejayoz 6y agoIf it really says NOISH, it's a counterfeit. Heh.
- tmerc 6y agoI have a 3M filter number 2091 with a fab date in 2017. It's clearly stamped with NIOSH. Got a source on your claim? Edit 2: I missed the joke :)
- SketchySeaBeast 6y agoI assume they are making a joke about how you initially wrote NOISH.
- ceejayoz 6y agoNOISH != NIOSH.
- toss1 6y agoMy medical facility let me put on the surgical mask over the N95 (the guy handing them out actually suggested it when I was obviously hesitant to exchange). It's at least worth a try next time - double masking, FTW?
- toss1 6y agoFor those downvoting without comment: huh, really? A surgical mask provides demonstrably worse protection vs N95, and doubling them up adds a bit to the protection of both the wearer and the surrounding people, as well as complying with their rule, which allows double masking.
- dillondoyle 6y agoKaiser has this policy when getting an in person test. I have n95s so I simply put the disposable blue thing over my main one. (another needed story I think at least some are counterfeit)
