Wearing masks in public is our new normal. Health experts have concerns over people wearing N95 respirator masks, which have a breathing valve. The air you breathe in is filtered, but the air you exhale is not, putting others at risk. https://t.co/ROmeB4cPWu

Bite me.
take everything with a grain of salt....
stay away from sick people and sick people especially the smokers with their coughing hack, and it doesn't kill you to wear a little mask....
just do what you can....we're all going to die sooner or later...
Just shoot yourself in the head now.
Seriously, it might save someome else.
Just suck it up and pull the trigger. For the rest of us.
DO IT. DO IT NOW.
Hell, why not go directly to the plastic bag (after you remove the warning, of course)?
Thank god my allergies are so mild this summer or else i’d have a billion g-d karens and kevins freaking out because they are obssesed with this and cant think about anything else.
next: “Diving helmet mandate”
doesn’t the one way nature of the N95 actually protect others from your exhalation?
The one-way valve bypasses the filter for exhaling.
Good grief!
Better advice:
Keep your shoes outside or sterilize them with a spray.
If you walked through mud you wouldn’t track it through your house.
If you’ve been to a populated indoor area you’ve walked through all the virus that has been in there that day.
Of course, I’m no doctor or whatever.
Never worn a mask, but I do take my shoes off.
The valve is supposed to let air out more easily. It has a mesh over it, not sure how nuch that stops droplets, but it's probably reasonable. One purpose of masks is to catch droplets when people are speaking, not necessarily exhaation.
I just pretend to wear a mask. It's fake, made of toilet paper.
Which mask type do they recommend for spray paint, smoke, tear gas and pepper spray? Asking for a friend :-)
No. The exhale valve is not filtered. One hospital gave me one of theirs when I showed up in my industrial N95
They can KMA. I have reverted to using a bandana because I can’t effing breathe.
They have gotten into bed with CNN with the radio app I listen to. I’m tired of being preached to!!!!!!
Same here. Just got back from the grocery store and my mask required state and didnt wear a mask got a few dirty looks from Karen but I really dont care at this point.
Dear Mayo Clinic.
STFU.

I just don’t hang around in public with a bad cough. If people don’t have that kind of sense, it is disappointing.
As did I today.
Good for you!!
Mass civil disobedience isn’t going to happen because the population is either part of the herd of sheep or consumers of Kool Aid. If you can think for yourself you are indeed a lonely person.
I weep for my country.
