Nah, I don't need more time—it couldn't have been more telling than the past two years.
I'm good, thanks. Similarly, MDs on WHO committees *yelled* at the aerosol scientists on this thread, but time has spoken there as well. Not everyone with degrees can do good science.

I have such trouble getting an n-95 to fit. I have a blocky nose I think. So I prefer a surgical because I can feel the mask trapping my inhales and exhales, whereas the N95 I can always feel some shooting out over my nose.

I agree its not useless. But an FFP2 might extend your safe exposure time by 100x, wheras a surgical mask might do it by 2x. I'd say a fairer representation is: P100>N99>N95>>>>>Surgical>Cloth>>Nothing

Where do the ones with the exhale valves, and those credit card size chin mounted clear plastic shields rank?

(Signed Covid positive pregnant lady delivering via c section tomorrow, isolating from my other kids, who very much needs the PERFECT mask in a super not-optional way. So I better figure out these N95’s fast.)

Here’s the thing about surgical masks. People wear them happily for extended periods of time.

I’d rather a plane full of compliant wearers of fresh surgical masks than a plane full of nose poking kn95ers. Something to consider if you’re giving these things out, in my estimation.

But people don’t know that you can’t just wear the same “good mask” every day. Please share this explanatory

No disagreement on importance of communicating differences between types of masks and when each might be appropriate. As to, "Nobody has ever said surgical masks were useless"... Anti-maskers and FFP2/N95 proselytizers alike say *exactly* that ALL. THE. TIME.

Germany has been giving out ffp2s for a year. Would it help to have clearer comms for other countries to follow? Sure. Could they follow Germany anyway? Why not?https://www.thelocal.de/20201217/where-and-how-these-risk-groups-in-germany-can-get-free-ff2p-masks/ …
