Makes perfect sense to me that an N95 with a perfect seal is pretty critical for someone working a medical job indoors with a COVID ward. But there's a big difference between that & the needs of someone who is only having brief indoor interactions with a low # of infected people

It's simple. Put a mask and glasses or sunglasses. If glasses are foggy, you are wearing the mask improperly. Also don't forget to replace the mask every 2 hours.

I've also seen "there's no need to wear a mask if you're asymptomatic" in counterpoint with "masks only offer protection to those around you" and "you can infect others with coronavirus when you're asymptomatic yourself"
