Of course wearing a mask can help. They wouldn't promote that idea because WE HAVE NO MASKS!!! That's the last thing our government wants is all of us civilians panicking to get masks and gloves.
Those are the N 95s , the counterfit are the chinise kn 95s. As we were talking about.Here is one of the first batch I ordered from Amazon -- advertised as a 3M N95. Looks pretty legit to me.

K 95 are a little diffrent, i have tried to order those but they get cancled as most of them are fakes. I ordered 3 times and before arrival date all 3 orders got cancled. So the are a lit of fakes out there. I need them for work and cant get them.
i think, though, that the recommendations were in place before it was evident exactly how short we were.Of course wearing a mask can help. They wouldn't promote that idea because WE HAVE NO MASKS!!! That's the last thing our government wants is all of us civilians panicking to get masks and gloves.

Please dont reuse the masks unless you know how to, even then its not a great idea. Thats why they are saying not to use them, they cant help you if you dont use them corectly.
No ,they were fakes. A hospital up here couldn't use them as they didn't have the corect protective layers needed to work. The ones i ordered were not overly priced and cancled.
I cant as they reuse the same photes, they cut them open.So, how can you tell from looking at the photo which KN95 masks are fake?
Actually, KN95 is just the Chinese designation for masks of that level. Europe has different terminology, Australia and New Zealand have different terminology, Korea uses a different name, etc.Those are the N 95s , the counterfit are the chinise kn 95s. As we were talking about.
They are simmiler as i said, but that has nothing to do with reuse. i was refering to the person that i wuoted about the kn95, he said he recived them from amazon. He then showed a picture of a n 95 mask. Not the kn 95 mask. I stayed above that my 3 orderd of these were cancled. The kn 95 masks if real will work fine. I never said they wouldn't.According to this link by the 3M company, the real one, I snipped the link of their webpage, it says that the Chinese KN95 masks are an equivalent to the U.S. N95 masks. And China and South Korea have the Coronavirus under control If they are wearing these masks, it working.
they weren't lying. things evolve as new information is known. and most of us haven't been wearing face masks since day one, and you know what? most of us still wont. boom
If you wear a mask PLEASE do not abandon other precautions. Masks can give some a false sense of security .

I think you should go back and re-read my post because I apparently didn't make it clear.They are simmiler as i said, but that has nothing to do with reuse. i was refering to the person that i wuoted about the kn95, he said he recived them from amazon. He then showed a picture of a n 95 mask. Not the kn 95 mask. I stayed above that my 3 orderd of these were cancled. The kn 95 masks if real will work fine. I never said they wouldn't.
I haven't watch the interview, so he may have stated this too..Yes, even Dr Fauci said that. He said that masks are not 100% foolproof. Yet, he does now say to wear them. I assume he knows we will be getting a humoungous supply of them in soon, for him to say that.
NO type of PPE, or any combination of PPE, is foolproof.Yes, even Dr Fauci said that. He said that masks are not 100% foolproof.
I might wear one just in case I could infect someone else and not know it.A neighbor dropped off some home made masks the other night. They are really nice, and much appreciated. IF I wear one outside I’d probably use one of those. But I don’t see the need at this point. If others feel more comfortable that way or have certain circumstances, then more power to them.
