Why aren't you wearing an N95 Mask?

[Flopper]

N95 masks provide near complete protection for the wearer and others. Suppose there were enough for everyone in the country, imagine how few cases there would be. Business and schools could open almost immediately with little danger to employees and customers or students and teachers. So why aren’t we doing it?

As it turns out, the cost of manufacturing an N95 mask is only about 58 cents. The CDC recommends masks are changed every 8 hours of use. It might be a lot less for non-healthcare employees. Assuming a mask could be made available for $1 each and all employers and schools were required to provide masks for employees and students, the cost would be about $15 a month for each full time employee or student. The general public would be required to wear N95 masks in public places with the federal government subsidizing the cost for low income families.

Although the cost is high, about 4 or 5 billion a month it’s a lot less than what the epidemic is costing the country, not to mention the loss of lives and the disruption to the lives of hundreds of millions of people. We could open up schools and business as soon as the masks were available and we probably could do away with most restrictions. If the program was successful, there’s a good chance the virus could be almost eliminated within a few months. Sporting events and concerts and other mass gathering could continue. So why isn't it even being considered?

You need goggles too

We don’t even have enough N95 masks for healthcare workers, and I don’t know about the providing near complete protection, but I suppose it would make a difference if everyone had one. It’s an idea.

N95 masks cause hypoxia, headaches, lower your immunity, and unless you are in very close direct proximity to people with Covid19 are STUPID.

Blaylock: Face Masks Pose Serious Risks To The Healthy

Dr. Russell Blaylock warns that not only do face masks fail to protect the healthy from getting sick, but they also create serious health risks to the wearer. The bottom line is that if you are not sick, you should not wear a face mask.

Because St. Fauci said I didn't have to wear one....

March 2020: Dr. Anthony Fauci talks with Dr Jon LaPook about COVID-19

In March, Fauci told 60 Minutes that masks should largely be reserved for healthcare providers. In April, the recommendations were broadened to include simple masks for the general public.

No, the demo_china_commie scum want the schools to stay closed because that keeps a lot of people from being able to go back to work.

Because none of this shit is actually about the virus, maybe?






Duh....

If anyone sees me out and about wearing a mask, you can be pretty sure I'm committing a crime.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

We breathe in about a hundred million viruses a day and our immune system fights them off. Im not wearing a mask and suppressing my immune system or lowering it to dangerous levels.

I thought much the same, then I saw this article where 3M plans to manufacture more than a billion N95 masks by the end of the year. There are many other companies, both large and small that could manufacture N95 masks. It ain't rocket science, two pieces of canvas like material cut and sewed together with a piece of filter material between plus straps and you have mask. A one way value is added so the wearer does not have to breath the same air over and over. The CDC said the N95 masks are very efficient at stopping the virus but not perfect.

Yes, for people that are dealing with many infected people such as a hospital but I doubt that would be the case for school and work environments. However, it might be a show stoppers.

No they don't... I owned and used them for years... They get warm alright and they are more uncomfortable than a surgical mask...

The problem is supply and demand... The production & supply of these masks and other equipment should have been federally managed and then directed where it could do most good...

That didn't happen...

The masks themselves are very good but not fool proof... I have ordered these for the winter : CAMBRIDGE MASK Co - Cambridge Mask Co. They are not suitable medically but will suit if I am traveling in Europe.

Hopefully something else will save us before that..

 

[initforme]

Produce enuff so peoe that want to wear them can wear them. Business owners will have to let their workers wear them as well

Agreed

I don't see any scenario where I wear a mask. Construction is essentially an isolated job.
I laugh when I see idiots driving alone in a car wearing them. Must suck to be that stupid/paranoid

I worn one for hours and had no problem. The value arrange seems to keep the fresh air coming in, far better than most of masks we wear today.

If I was sick I would wear a mask if I had to go out in public. I'm not, so I don't simple as that.

The filters are the tricky thing to get the supply off...

Saying that wearing a PM2.5 mask is quite effective and (80% v 95%)... The big thing a mask does it reminds you not to touch your face... Even more than airbourne the way to get this is touch something and then wipe your face. We do that way more than we think.

Hand Hygiene & Hand sanitiser is is probably more important.

What if you are sick and don't know it?
