As I started reading, I saw the 99.9% efficiency of the new mask and thought it wasn’t that impressive. That lets a lot through. I had no idea the N95 masks were 95%. That’s nearly as useless as the disposable face diapers. Multiply .95 ot .999 against some big numbers to see my point.

Has China bought them all up yet?

They’re the ones making it, so you know it’s not to be trusted and probably overpriced.

Sorry...I stand corrected. It’s a university in Singapore who developed it.

These aren’t masks.

They’re muzzles.

Complete con job. Aerosol particles exhaled during regular breathing (not coughing) are less than the touted 3um mentioned. Respiratory virii have been shown to readily transport in <2.5um particles. And, N95 masks have been tested (way back in 2015 — funded by WHO and CDC) to not stop even half of these aerosol particles. Citation.

Of course, this CCP funded and controlled company will test none of this and report even less. But, the CCP will make loads of $$.
