Why waste your time, it’s not going to keep you from getting sick, if it’s that bad, you’re going to be exposed, plain and simple
The hysteria and kookery is spreading faster than the actual virus.
So the doctors who treat these patients should wear no protection?
I agree, masks will do little.
1: Wash your hands
2: Avoid crowds
3: Avoid visibly sick people
4: Avoid touching your face(eyes, nose, mouth)
At least in the west we have a fighting chance, unlike Africa, India etc...
The N95 mask passed the fluid resistance test, not stopped the transfer. Flu virus is in the air as a fluid that my or may not be attack to solid. If it is direct like a sneeze or cough directly at you in close proximity, it probably will not stop the transfer as the virus will be still in fluid form and not attached to a solid. The mask stops solids and resists fluids, not stop them.
According to an article by Flu Armor, this respirator has been evaluated and approved by The National Institute of Occupations Safety & Health (NIOSH) and is cleared by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). This product is a N95 Respirator deemed “Surgical” by the FDA. It is not a Surgical Mask. “Surgical N95 Respirators” undergo more rigorous testing and are designed to both prevent the spread of germs and protect the wearer’s respiratory system.
So even though the FDA says it works on viruses, OSHA says it doesn’t. Toss up?

To slow the spread of the virus, thus giving our biomedical industry time to develop a vaccine for those at greatest risk. However, if getting through this as fast as possible is what we want, Its Party Time Dude ! Kinda like in that Matrix movie when the machines had found them and were burrowing into their homes?
