A typical N95 mask is usually only about 20% effective in filtering particles around larger viral sizes. With proper seal, decon procedures, wearing habits, biohazard disposal, consistent replacement, and so on, the masks are up to 97-8% effective. But that's a pipe dream, and nothing close to realistic.
