Guest Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 All those cloth masks are worthless, trust me. I used every type of mask known...…………..and these are the only ones that will give you a 100% air seal. Against Corona, those masks are next to useless. That's why so many health-care workers are coming down with that shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, remember when they said " DON'T BOTHER TO WEAR MASKS " !!!!! This country is so fucked. Those junk cloth masks are far better than nothing, but they are not guaranteed protection.

bladefever Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Need to also be clean faced for the proper seal. No facial hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many sheep think they are protected fully wearing an N95 mask which may just make them feel invincible and do things they shouldn't be doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are using vflex n95's by 3m. We used N95's with a vent at the Nuke plant but I doubt they'd be ideal for covid due to that vent and the possibility of it sticking open slightly. When things got serious we wore comfo's, either half or full face masks with cartridges but since there was an abundance of air headers around, and depending on the job, most wore an air supplied when they could. Spending a few hours or less in an N95 can get hot and sticky, depending on what you were doing. Right now I feel for you guys and gals that have to be in them for most, if not all of your shift.

It depends on what’s going on. When we swab we use a surgical mask but if we are giving a nebulized medication or intubation we use an n95. I actually like the feel of the n95 better then the surgical masks. We use surgical masks for all patient contact otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you wear your underwear backwards doesn’t make it right.... more concerning is you have the particulate filters in backwards as well. The writing goes toward the charcoal canister.
