I got rid of my beard before a big (vaxx and mask required) convention in DC last weekend, wore an N95 to the best of my ability, and tested negative (PCR) more than 24 hours after, and I am still feeling fine.
The difference between N95 and cloth masks is so big that we should just treat cloth masks as no masks.
- kbelder 5y agoThere's some truth to that, but if we try to mandate N95 masks and no longer allow cloth masks, that'll destroy the mandate altogether. The majority will simply ignore it.
