What type of face mask do you wear?

@Pat

None, scientific evidence on ineffectiveness is available before and after Covid19. On my recent timeline you can find some studies.

I don't see anything there about properly worn N100/P100 elastomeric respirators.

@Pat

Are you implying that you have scientific evidence of effectiveness of them?

@post

An N100 or P100 is 99.97% efficient per NIOSH.

@Pat

Are you saying they conducted studies on the effectiveness in preventing spread of infection of coronaviruses like SarsCov2?

I doubt that there is sufficient data to conduct a proper statistical study, being an extremely rare product.

They're not rare at all. It's standard respiratory PPE.

@Pat

Never seen anyone wear that stuff in 3 years.

Well you need to get out more. Oh wait, you can't because there's a pandemic raging...
