I think the masks are of value for mitigation.

From the beginning, I have called for N99 or 100. N95 will help mitigate exposure if properly worn. Of course eye protection and gloves are better.

Baby steps.

I agree. It only makes sense to me that if you have something that blocks at least some particles and particularly droplets, it’s certainly better than nothing.

Ironically, people wearing masks in public will now be looked at as infected, rather than simply acting rationally...thanks to our wonderful CDC.
