A homemade mask utilizing a sheet of paper towel as a filter is supposedly just as effective. That is what I use 90% of the time.but that is the N95 mask, you know the one they powers to be told us not to wear since we did not want to deprive the first responders and medical personnel of the good masksOnly if you are infected, if not it does nothing
I don't believe that.
I have N95 masks because the hoods of my trucks are made of fiberglass...sometimes they get hit, or just crack from wear. When repairing fiberglass it is imperative to keep the dust out of your lungs...hence the N95 masks.
So I always wear the mask...to procect me from fiberglass dust...not to protect the fiberglass from me.
If it doesn't work, what have I lost?
It's not a leap for me...It is very consistent with my thinking. I carry a gun... I will probably never need it. It is an inconvenience to carry it and it prevents me from doing some things. But...if there is a possibility I can save a life...mine, my loved ones or a complete stranger, I'll continue to carry it. Same for the mask.
