Hey so if I want to go beyond just a KN95, what’s a good mask I can like, right now?

[–] TrashGoblin@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I don't think you need more than N95 for protection from airborne viruses. You can go up to P100, but it will make breathing harder. Your biggest win would come from getting a well-fitting elastomeric mask/respirator with N95 filters, and ideally, no unfiltered output port (for other people's benefit).

As someone who's had to wear a P100 half-mask respirator for reasonable periods (2-3 hours) before, it's not really a big deal unless you have respiratory issues. Even the chain-smoking chuds at my old work who refused to mask because it made "breathing too hard" had no issues wearing one.

Thanks; I haven't tried one and was only going by what a friend who introduced me to elastomeric masks said.
