There's really no meaning in making beetles fight.
one positive is that medical masks and filter masks will be more popular in europe, which is sweet.

maybe i can wear/force others to wear masks when they're sneezing or coughing in the subway without looking like a psychopath

IIRC they don't do that much normally.

Like for an N95 mask to work well it needs to have a properly measured fit and it's not exactly comfortable to breathe through when it has a good seal.

Also god help you if you have a beard other than one on the CDC approved mask fittable list!

I have worn them, also those that protect against tuberculosis and stuff.
any mask is better than nothing, and it generally looks dope. A lovely mask won't stop the heavy stuff though ha ha

Eh, you have to consider that lovely poorly fitting PPE can be bad if it causes someone to act as if it's working.

Like imagine a bunch of people coughing through poorly fitting/filtering masks because they think hey, the mask will catch my doom flu when it's in fact doing less work than just sneezing into a tissue and using some hand sanitizer.

No. Just like Emergen-C which has gotten poo poo for making fake claims.. It's just vitamins or homeopathic poo poo. Nothing will prevent you from getting a virus besides a vaccine.

I was just talking with my nurse today about masks. If I were to wear one here in the US people would freak out and keep their distance from me, even though it'd be me protecting myself from them. In Europe and Asia they're much more common and no one cares. It'd be nice if they were more popular here.

It is well known that supplements like that do absolutely nothing good unless you have some kind of deficiency, but for some reason Americans are obsessed with them. Washing your hands with soap often would do more to prevent you from getting sick.

It's either placebos or put a proper healthcare system in place, and Americans don't like that kind of communist talk.

The double blind tests I've read showed reduction in symptoms and duration of illness, for the common cold, maybe the flu too but I've only looked up cold data. Not prevention though. E: Talking about elderberry

Be skeptical and all as these studies often are shot down with later research.

I always thought the masks were to help stop the people wearing them from infecting others - not preventing. Since the wet particles will stick to the inside of the mask instead of settling on other people/clothes/handrails etc.

A basic sunrise suit will do okay if you upgrade it with rubberized fabric and combine it with a gas mask, but you're really gonna want to have an sp-99m for the best biological anomaly protection. The basic sp-99 will work, but it isn't as puncture resistant as the military model.

Actually it was the janitor of the bioweapon lab who prepared dinner from the dead plague snakes that had been dumped in a ditch behind the BSL-4 classified government facility specializing on Spanish flu originating bio-warfare. Could happen anywhere anytime really.
