Are those N95 masks better than N99 masks?

No. N99 are better but they're hard to find. They have to be worn and fitted correctly or you may as well go naked

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.

do unto others as you would have them do unto you

Might be a good idea to stock up on those as I imagine the Harris administration will require 24/7 masks while locked down for the next four years.

Most people have never taken the test. I have many times and aside from a full face mask I've never been able to pass. I can taste that crap just thinking about it!

Not to ask a stupid question but why dont you wear them as an ambulance crew?

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

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.

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.

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..

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.

And don't gain or lose any weight, either. That can screw up your fit.
