“ the typical mask you find in a store wont do squat against a virus. Only specially fitted masked of a certain level will.”

Read down. Based on studies, the article says practically any mask is better than none

Not only is any mask better than none, the N95 masks you can get at Home Depot or the local paint store are highly effective.

That seems like common sense.

Exactly- logic says that when a person walks through a ‘sneeze cloud’ of virus germs= most of those germs are gonna land on the mask, not go directly into the person’s mouth and nose- While a few particles will make their way in through the cracks, they are likely to land on the face- If one wears a mask, doesn’t fiddle with it constantly, takes it off immediately when out of crowded space, washes face immediately with hand sanitizer or even soap and water- swabs out the nose, and keeps their hands away from their eyes- the chances of being infected are it would seem way way lower than having no mask at all

it’s funny that when i go to health centers the medical staff are wearing these supposed non effective masks- guess they just like the smell of their own breath- lol-

It just seems like common sense that a mask filters out almost all of the virus particles- just gotta use caution when wearing it, and taking it off- keep hands off of face except for when washing afterwards-
