We've been over this 100 times: very few people can wear an n95 mask correctly. Men have to be clean shaven too, and you're supposed to perform a seal test using a mint spray. They're also supposed to be one time use. Masks of secondary effects: a global waste problem. It's time to stop promoting these as a "solution" to a non-existant problem.

And the flip side: N95 masks don't need to be worn correctly to be effective for preventing most Covid spread. Covid seems to require moderate viral loads to spread, and even an incorrectly-worn N95 mask tends to do that.

The clean shaven part isn't true any more. There's a reason first responders are no longer required to be clean cut. >It's time to stop promoting these as a "solution" to a non-existant problem. What do you mean by non existent problem?
