      Logical fallacy, too few alternatives. There are way more variables than just masks.

      But I do believe that sometimes simple variables make a big diff. So really why not give this a try. ? How much teeth in a law ??? Maybe like getting caned in Singapore for chewing gum ???

      In an professional setting masks need to be fit tested. If they leak you can't wear them. But like they said at the presser yesterday wear one if you want. You've never needed anyone's permission to do it.

      On the concept of some covering is better than none. N95’s are to protect the wearer not others(the public). Perfect fit is kinda hard & fairly uncomfortable. Wear a bandana it’s better than zero

      N95 definitely protects others as well

      Yes I would agreeBUT their main goal is to protect the wearer. The valve in front allows air to go out but not come in sooooo now do you get it ???

      Medical professionals wear masks that are fit tested per OSHA mandates. It's the law. In that case they protect the user. The best would be a full face mask with HEPA filters with fit test per OSHA guidelines. I've done this fit tests, if the mask leaks you know it!

      You're in that sweet spot where you know a little, but not enough. Please do some reading. And drop me from this thread.
