Dont trust a mask unless youre skilled in its use.

Thats a mask with no filters attached. Who knows what its for, painting?

A military grade NBC (nuclear,bio, chem) filter is 8 hours in a zone with any of that at a moderate level. They also have used by dates.

They also may need full body over-suits per situation.

They still work expired against CS/Tear gas tho.

You can get military grade masks and unused 40mm filters easy from Israel online. Just check the Used By date.

In Hong Kong there have been runs on toilet paper and tampons (in addition to masks)

I fell for the toilet paper rumor. I just kept seeing people around town all carrying multiple packs. I got nervous and bought some too. I missed out on all the rice, masks, and sanitizer, so I had to panic buy something.

Hmm, for some reason, the CDC hasn't recommended "wear a mask" in its prevention tips. It's almost like they're aware how wildly ineffective masks are for the general populace. I wonder where they these professionals got that idea from? It couldn't be looking at mask hysteria in China, where folks are hoarding masks that are completely ineffective and, even when they do manage to pick up a properly-rated mask, they're failing utterly to wear them in the correct manner.

Yes, I get it. Chinese people, the people most familiar with the disease, do it - we shouldn’t. What do oriental people know about medicine anyways? These easterners don’t even know how to wear a mask, which I can somehow tell from grainy smartphone footage.

For sars, it went that the surgical masks were about 60% effective and the n95s were about 85% effective in empirical settings. It’s better than 0%

The filters on these are about the same as what is in a cheaper mask. Worst thing about these five-strap masks though is that they are hell on your neck after about an hour and the straps will slowly pull your hair out in the back especially, so prepare to have some really thin hair unless you wear it with a fire hood. I used a North mask like this at work for a while before we upgraded and goddamn it sucked. Also unless you have the company that sells them do a professional fit-check on you, they almost never fit quite right around the temples so you pull in air from the outside world anyway.

Look into cheap PAPR systems if you want to just throw money at really expensive options.

On a provincial level we have just as many ghoulish conservative governments as the US.

One of the first things the Cons did when they got elected in Ontario recently was eliminate the two paid sick days everyone had to be given (against the advice of literally healthcare professional) and also reversed the ban on asking for a sick note from a doctor (also against the advice of literally every healthcare professional because doctors loving hate writing sick notes since they waste their time and cause sick people to leave the house and infect others unnecessarily).

It's droplets not airborne so it'll be far less effective than just washing your drat hands and not touching your face.

Like I've seen a ton of idiots in masks on the street reach under the mask to scratch their nose for fucks sake.

Droplets are often airborne you absolute dumbass. And just because a mask can be worn incorrectly doesn’t mean it has to be. gently caress.

My expertise is limited to my emt training which is “peer reviewed research has proven a properly worn n95 mask reduces the spread of communicable disease”.

But again, have fun finding masks in the US when it becomes a thing here. They’re already very hard to find.

The best thing about masks is they stop people from spreading the disease, not that they are 100% guaranteed to prevent you from contracting it. Like every time you cough or sneeze the mask filters most of the droplets containing the virus, so they end up on your face instead of floating around in the air.

The canisters have an expiration time based on use after being removed from the packaging.

That being said, wearing the mask correctly and using the correct type of filter is actually going to work, as opposed to wearing the things everyone else is currently.

E: should've mentioned the mask you posted is not what I'm talking about, I figured you meant a legit canister using mask and not that thing. That thing is pretty useless.
