I'm not, either. I fervently hope that this mask-wearing fad quickly passes. Unless it's a variety known as the N95 or N100, it won't stop a virus, and if you keep reusing it without sterilizing it, the mask will pose a health hazard as it becomes infested with bacteria.
If N95 et al were certified for bioaerosols, they would be used in BSL3 laboratories.
They are NOT used in BSL3 laboratories and there IS NO MASK certified for viral bioaerosols, particularly airborne virus.
The “scientific” principle of diffusion asserts protection from small particles, but if that was true then no one - including medical care workers - would get infected while wearing an N95.
There is no evidence to support the notion that N95 masks afford any protection whatsoever to bioaerosols. In fact, all literature states quite the contrary.
This highlights the idiocy of the “cloth facial coverings” BS about which I’ve posted prior.
“Fad” is appropriate, I suppose, but I prefer to label it delusional, an effect of fear & resultant anxiety due to media exposure and acquiescence to FauciBirx BS.
