It is likely that some number much higher than 90 is the percentage of N-95 masks being worn in public which have never been properly ‘Fit Tested.’ Proper ‘Fit Testing’ usually involves verifying that there is an air tight seal by confirming that a Saccharine or Pepper aerosol does not pass through the mask seal while the mask has actually been donned. It involves wearing a hood over the entire head while the mask is actually being worn. BTW, some great number of persons, myself among them have trouble being properly fitted with those masks.

It is an absurdity to express that N-95 masks are being worn by so many people having been properly fit tested.

Why would you post such an uninformed thing?

Aside from that, the N-95 is not an effective protection against viruses.

Y’all have freaked out while I was talking about VA pensions elsewhere

1) Viruses are tiny. Too small for N95 or P100, except that’s not how it works, Viruses transport on aerosols. These are much larger and are certainly blocked by the aperture of N95 masks. If this was not so, docs would not be wearing them in rooms of Covid dying patients.

2) N95 distribution should have been funded rather than 6 month lifetime vax.

3) No one is making you wear a mask. You’re at complete liberty to stay off airplanes. Just where did you imagine stormtroopers were going to knock on your door at 3 AM and haul you to the airport and force you onto an airplane so you have to wear a mask? EXACTLY the same thing happened with smoking. No one came and picked you up at 3 AM to force you onto an airplane without cigs. You guys are being absurd.
