I'm still baffled that every mask I see at stores says "not for medical use". It's been nearly two years and we still don't have approved masks?
I'm also seeing more and more evidence that masks that aren't N95s don't do any good. The CDC still doesn't recommend using N95s but recommends cloth masks. They're still claiming that they need to be saved for healthcare workers. REMINDER: WE'RE NEARLY TWO YEARS INTO THIS THING. Our government is pathetic.

- sdenton4 5y agoTo be sure, 'not for medical use' probably means that the manufacturer of the mask didn't want to pay (in money and/or effort) to go through the regulatory process to obtain an official rating; this has more to do with what the market wants (cheap masks! who cares about ratings!) than the government.
