Wow, where do I start...
Note to the egghead: Sweetie, KN95s are ChiCom knockoffs that aren't even certified for use in healthcare settings in the US. How do you not know that?!
That said, droplets aren't an issue with CoupFlu, are they. You believe the CDC, right? Aerosols are the problem.
So using any of these masks to protect against the person-to-person transmission of an airborne respiratory virus is like using chicken wire to keep out mosquitos.
No wonder you used the weasel wordage, eh?
Note to the egghead: Something you didn’t mention. Masks are fomites. I can’t tell you how many healthcare professionals I’ve caught over the last couple of years messing with their muzzles then go to touch a patient, instruments, a worksurface WITHOUT cleaning their hands first.
And there are plenty of nasty bugs around in addition to the coof, aren’t there. Especially in healthcare settings.
And if healthcare professionals are doing that, can you imagine how freaking filthy the average American’s muzzle must be?!
You wanna wear one, knock yourself out. I just hope to God it’s clean.
