"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) does not recommend that the general public wear N95 respirators to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including coronavirus (COVID-19).

Not going to argue the point anymore, but the issue is fit testing, and 95% blocked, not 100%. Not to exclude avoidance, hand washing, surface cleaning, etc. Saw a frantic young mother yesterday with a shopping cart heaped with supplies with a face mask, pulling two very young kids also with face masks. These are not for kids because of the fit issue and very stupid if she thinks this is saving her or her kids if she’s getting sneezed on or ignoring other practices. Plus she had the kids scared to death.
I wouldn’t have been there except my coffee pot plugged up and had to get a new one. Coffee is essential.
