I searched for "monoclonal" and "respirator" in the article and found nothing. If you want go avoid getting infected, wear a correctly fitted respirator, preferably NIOSH P100 elastomeric with replaceable cartridges. If you can convince your doctor, they can prescribe monoclonal antibodies right after you get exposed, with no symptoms or testing needed.
- nvr219 5y agoI've seen nobody wear respirator or anyone recommend wearing that to avoid infection until this comment.
- mrob 5y agoI wear a EN 149 P3 elastomeric half mask respirator (99.97% effectiveness) and face shield whenever I go into shops or other indoor spaces other than my own home. It's a lot more comfortable than a surgical mask. If everybody did the same then the pandemic would probably be over by now.
