I spent a minute or so looking and couldn’t tell if it was n95 or not, but that’s what you’re trying to find out. If it’s n95, it should reduce your chances but it’s important to note that you can still get it through your eyes, you still shouldn’t be touching your face, it’s only going to reduce your chances of getting it through your mouth by 95%, and how you put it on and take it off and sanitize it between uses (and wash your hands after this process) is extremely critical.
Nah I don’t feel like guessing. Nothing in my post was remotely racist, classist or counter-factual. Different countries have different food and hand-washing cleanliness standards. You’d have to have never traveled not to realist that. Dammit you win - I guessed. Still not sure if that’s your problem though.
Those are better than N95, they’re for installing into the full/half facemasks that are OSHA-approved for things like asbestos removal and mold removal. The only thing more heavy-duty is that mask with a tube going into a backpack, whose name I forget. P100 cartridges have worked miracles for me before, you don’t smell any odors when wearing that mask. Whether they’re good for stopping the virus, I’m not qualified to say. But if any of those cartridges can block the virus, I’m guessing P100 is the correct type (as opposed to the ones for fumes etc). P100 is for particulate matter in general.
You know more about this than me, so I’ll just share the key fact I know about n95 with regard to blocking viruses and maybe you know if that applies to P100? They block 95% of particulates of .3 microns in size and up.
That size seems important with regards to viruses.
