I haven’t even mentioned N95 masks. I’ve stated masks as a general thing. Surgical masks that are cheap and readily available are to prevent the spread of anything. N95 masks to prevent you getting covid don’t help anymore than surgical when we know it was be contracted through skin and eyes etc. If you’re wearing it in a workshop or some dusty place then obviously they are far superior to surgical masks as they are designed for the wearer. And obviously wearing an N95 when you’re sick is more helpful than a surgical mask as they are much better fitting and don’t let as much through if you sneeze of cough. |

This entire thread is about N95 masks.

Yes, it can be contracted through eyes, so eye protection is another mitigation that helps. When I had to travel in 2021, we wore eye protection on the plane, as well as P100 masks. We were well protected and did not get sick.

Guess what they wear in Ebola wards. Guess why they wear them.
