N95 are effective filtration,3M is ramping up,so way shouldn't we buy them. For him to suggest they are ineffective because we would touch our face and contaminate ourselves is ludicrous.

If all the public wears  a surgical to keep their droplets to themselves,that would decrease transmission, I tested  an n95 the other day and a tight fit is difficult especially if you have a small face. How to remedy the fit I haven't figured out. I don't plan to go out once sustained h2h is underway,unless an emergency comes up.

They're effective for medical staff but not effective for normal people. What kind of idiots do they think we are, lol. They failed to prepare for medical staff but won't come out and say it because they don't want to look stupid. So now they want people to give up their opportunity to get masks because they were negligent.
