Never seen the N99 but our ambulance crew were all fitted with the N95 back in May. Not one person on our crew passed the smell/taste test. Not one. Needless to say we dont wear them or any other mask. The cloth masks people are wearing are for looks only. Not to ask a stupid question but why dont you wear them as an ambulance crew?

What's the smell taste test all about? Basically, a smoke is used to see if your mask is sealing around your face. If you can smell or taste it it ain't working.

I just got a box of 3M ..N95 masks.....for my work. They have an exhaust button on the front...not Covid friendly
It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

Because they dont work. Read my post. We were all fitted, but none of us passed the smell taste test....that means the masks failed..

Hard to get most are going to hospitals and first responders hard to understand how the first Sherman tanks were coming off the assembly lines 3 months after WW 2 got going and we could build an aircraft carrier in a month but we cant get enough masks. We used to manufacture our own stuff.

When mask dont fit properly they actually put you at increased risk. wearing any of the masks put you at increased risks. especially if you're reusing a mask and not cleaning it. you cant properly clean it with your home washer and dryer.

I always smile a bit when I see people wearing N-95’s in public. Beards and all they’re virtually worthless. I couldn’t pass the fit test (where they check the seal) with even a 5 o clock shadow. Have to shave every day for it to be effective for me. And don't gain or lose any weight, either. That can screw up your fit.
