I’m betting that a couple are.....especially those expensive types.....
it's not useless at all, if someone has the virus and coughs, or even breaths, the mask will keep most of it from being spewed all over.The East (mostly China) has been wearing masks for years because of pollution. N95 mask is needed for the virus but many opt for the
paper mask which is of course useless.
I guess most fill better if they have something on regardless.
Yes, the past two days & perhaps indefinitely into the future as a protection vs COVID-19, any mutations that may arise from it, the flu, other viruses, etc.
Doctors in NYC are saying more people should wear masks.

I see no research arguing against masks, and a lot for masks.
A mask will do more help than harm IMO. If someone wants to wear a mask they should do so.
Mr Top, You're either a domesday person or made a wise financial investment. I just returned from the smaller local Walmart and would estimate about 33% of customers were wearing some type of mask, but i think the majority were one time paper use or something else. Hopefully these 2 N 95's will last me awhile... I have COPD although most people don't know it, so feel justified in wearing such.
