Since I'm an EsSenTiAl EmPlOyEe, I was looking into some of these masks to wear to work to block out the rona. Are these even good for that kind of shit?

No.

I was hoping for something that's reusable.
Justin Diaz
it should

depends on the filter they use and how well they fit you, there is no "one size fits all".
you're not trying to keep out single virions but rather small mucous droplets which are way, way bigger. so 10nm filter capability should be enough.
I'd recommend Respro masks (I used these when I was in Korea during the yellow dust season last year in spring) but it'll be difficult to buy one currently.
also for the sake of everyone around you don't get one with a breath-out valve. you won't need one if you have a filter that's a little more coarse.
pic related, a Respro Metro with changeable filters and no valves.
and wash your hands before and after taking it off and let it dry because warm+wet is a heaven for bacteria.

I mixed things up, I meant PM10 not 10nm

All children can be infected. They just don't get sick. That's why schools shut down.

The will not protect you, that's not their job. The purpose of the mask is to trap the humid particles as you exhale. In other words the masks keep you from infecting other people.
If you want a mask that will filter CV from you inhaling it you'd need something that looks like a military gas mask. You can expect to pay a few hundred to $1000 or more for something like that.
Josiah Torres
From what I read. Respirators will protect you
The shit about them not working was a lie to prevent people from panic buying them because there was already weren't enough for hospitals

I'm wearing a bandana folded in half with a cut of teeshirt material and a paper towel in the middle. Then, I put one of these on top to hopd it on snug. It's not as hot or hard to breathe as you might think.
I'm in nyc and my terrier needs 3-4 walks a day so kinda overprotecting myself
Aaron Rivera
only the highest grades of filters offer true protection. but they are so hard to breath through that they offer breath out valves which is, obviously, not what you want if you don't want to infect other people
Charles Parker
overpriced crap
Landon Cooper
I use saran wrap
Wyatt Nelson
I have respirators that take n95 cartridges, got em last year because I was fucking with some drywall in my house and maybe surprise asbestos
Ayden Gonzalez
The primary intended use of the masks is to minimize the spread of your germs to others. Fancy filters and edgy plugs are only good for medical workers and cybergoths.
Xavier Williams
relevant
Owen Butler
...and the one i use also has a replaceable carbon filter in it, so
Jordan Powell
Add a plastic bag in the thing and you're set.
Jack Harris
that's just...why?
the neoprene mask is useless if don't seal directly it at the skin. air flow follows path of least resistance. just cut a peace of cloth that fits in the neoprene mask and you're golden.
this is stupid and less effective.
Xavier Thomas
I know how they're supposed to work. My concern is wearing something that can be continued to used and is comfortable, since I have to wear one.
Parker Sanders
It looks p cool at least
Cooper Flores
A n95 mask could very well make the difference between being infected and not being infected.
Just because something doesn't filter out 100%, doesn't mean it can't mitigate enough that your body can eliminate the infection before it gets you sick.
Jonathan Adams
Wear this mask to work.
Robert Anderson
I have something similar, uses an n99 filter and if you get it to fit snugly works well.
Ethan Bailey
I need something like this screenprinted onto a cloth mask.
Jacob Roberts
no b/c you won't clean it enough and the right way and you will infect yourself.
Isaac Flores
I'm not interacting with anyone that doesn't have their own mask.
Ryder Hernandez
LOL that doesn't matter. Also i'm talking about the inside of the mask.
Luis Thompson
>wants an /fa/ mask
>her vanity’s going to kill her
S A D!!!
Angel Myers
Oh man i know i didn't clean the sexy zebra mask today but i need it to impress chad.
Luis Gomez
I think that’s a bunch of bullshit
Juan Sanchez
