Not even N-95 or N-99 will do that.

You would have to wear a P100 to get 99.9% protection in a mask that is not mechanically ventilated in a closed loop return within sealed suit.

It's about reducing the odds.

PLUS: If you wear and mask and I wear a mask, we have a herd reduction in expelled virus, so there is less overall floating about.

It's not about YOU

It's not about ME

It's about US.

Everybody needs to cover their faceholes. Teamwork for the win.
Yep, this I believe to be true, if everyone wore a mask, in the presence of other people, it would reduce the amount of particles in the air, and virus infections, THIS is the reason authorities want us to wear a mask. I get it.

What I don’t get, is the situation I described, people believing they are safe from inhaling the virus if they wear a $.30 Home-Depot dust mask. It’s not only a false and potentially dangerous sense of security, humans should be smarter then that.

On my walk I fought the urge to run up to those people and yell: BOO!
