I have N95 and KN95. KN95 are much more comfortable - easier to breathe and not pressing as hard against the face, although it still gives a tight enough fit around the face. A tight fit without pressing hard.
I got my KN95s from bonafide masks . com (no spaces). These KN95 are the masks that have the crease in the front. A lot of people wear these now since they are more easy to get than earlier in the pandemic. You see a lot of people on TV wearing the KN95s now. I gave a KN95 to a friend who was previously wearing N95 and the friend was pleasantly surprised because the KN95 is way more comfortable. Try a KN95 if you don't like the N95....much much easier to wear.
I wear either the KN95 or N95 without issues. They protect the wearer better than cloth masks and they also protect others. Win-win. They don't have the plastic exhaust thingy.
I recall a movie or documentary from way back about a boy who lived in a big plastic "bubble" (full isolation) because he had no immunity to disease. I think in these desperate times, a raging virus with a 0.14% conditional mortality rate destroying the very fabric or our universe, we should take a second look at this sort of isolation "bubble." If we could mandate a bubble for all, perhaps that 0.14% conditional mortality rate could be cut down to 0.13%.
An even better idea is if we could cause ourselves to go extinct as a species due to our stupidity, overreaction, and making matters worse, we would have zero fatalities due to covid. And just think, no one would ever die again. We will have overcome death.
yes.
You better wear 3-ply cloth masks with a paper towel at least. Anyway, No mask is enough. It is because you can get covid-19 through your eyes.
True. Eyeglass wearers were shown (in a small study) to be much more protected from COVID than non-eyeglass wearers. Not perfect, not as good as goggles, but you'll at least stop a direct frontal entry into your eye.
Nothing's perfect, but some protection is better than zero.

Your personal health and health choices are your responsibility, not everyone else's. If you want to minimize the risk of skydiving... don't skydive.
Germany and France have banned cloth and homemade masks and mandated N95 or medical grade single use masks. Democrats fawn over everything European. So the question is will Democrats follow their Euro allies and ban cloth masks? Will Democrats force us to wear medical grade or N95 only?
That's quite a leap you made there. Hope you don't hurt yourself on the way down.
I have N95 grade masks. That is the best way to protect yourself. I also have face shields which studies have shown are more effective than the cheap cloth masks.
I am looking out for myself and my family. I really don't care what the government says. Yes I would imagine wearing them 8-10 hours would be difficult. But medical people do that now.
No point in whining about N95 masks.
do you hang out with sick covid patients inside an ICU 10 hours a day, 5 days a week?
Read up on the uselessness of masks, unless one is working in a critical care or operating room situation.
