Hi @Pat, you and I discussed this before. I'm posting about a community setting. Without fit testing, I wouldn't recommend a N100 over an N95.
To be totally literal, the best mask is a powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) and a hazmat suit. But that isn't a very useful or practical recommendation. Thanks for following and for your comments.
➡️1 in 46 Canadians has COVID this week (h/t @MoriartyLab)
➡️At any time, a proportion of people with COVID will be asymptomatic, pre-symptomatic, or have mild symptoms that they've attributed to something else

Malcolm X was assassinated 58 years ago today. This remains as one of my favorite pieces of wisdom he shared. And now, they're making it illegal to even claim the knife is there.
"If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. And they haven't even pulled the knife out much less heal the wound. They won't even admit the knife is there." — Malcolm X
The abortion pill, mifepristone is safe and effective , far safer than carrying a child to term, especially in the US where the maternal mortality rate is nearly 20 times higher than in the Netherlands. #AbortionIsHealthcare #ForcedBirthKillsWomen

➡️ The best mask is an N95, but all masks work
➡️ Double masking or overmasking
➡️ FAQs are:
❓ Does it make a difference?
❓ Which mask should go on top, the cloth mask or the medical mask?
❓ What about two cloth masks?
❓ Or two medical masks?

@cmclase @joeyfox @cleanairkits it’s absolutely a problem when all the data on most available options is CADR at maximum speed as they are at the moment, but there are existing solutions available at acceptable noise levels where specifications for lower speeds are available. Will be interesting to see if any manufacturers look into using PC fans.
Noise is the biggest problem for indoor air filtration
@joeyfox HVAC engineer has a great page on this
@cleanairkits have low dB alternatives as kits or fully constructed

Concerning.
When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarely, in your thoughts advanced to the stage of science.

A critical thought about the importance of quantification in science; but recognizing that this doesn't take into account the importance of qualitative methodologies too.
