WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU YELLING AT?There was a 2019 & 2020 RCT study on N-95 respirators showing ZERO significant reduction in virus containment . So just go fuck yourself with CORONA SCIENCE FICTION
Question Is the use of N95 respirators or medical masks more effective in preventing influenza infection among outpatient health care personnel in close contact with patients with suspected respiratory illness?
Findings In this pragmatic, cluster randomized clinical trial involving 2862 health care personnel, there was no significant difference in the incidence of laboratory-confirmed influenza among health care personnel with the use of N95 respirators (8.2%) vs medical masks (7.2%).
Meaning As worn by health care personnel in this trial, use of N95 respirators, compared with medical masks, in the outpatient setting resulted in no significant difference in the rates of laboratory-confirmed influenza.
I say this with 100% sincerity , GO FUCK YOURSELF WITH YOUR CORONA SCIENCE FICTION

I notice you’re not yelling ABOUT anything interesting. A more useful takeaway rom your link is that the highly-prized N95 is not significantly more effective than “medical masks”, but perhaps you’ve done more detailed research into the physical properties, characteristics and materials of masks than I have.
Questions: your link did not specify what “medical masks” it compared the N95 to - would that be the now-common “Surgical mask”, or something else? When I hear “outpatient setting”, I’m thinking first-aid stations, open clinics, urgent-care “doc-in-the-box” setups (if there are still any) - not emergency rooms, intensive-care wards, respiratory & infectious-disease units. CVS, not Walter Reed. Do you know different?
And the $64 question: why is a better mask in some settings a reason to send out a general FAAACK YOOOOU about - well, ANYTHING?
I went to Costco today, and they’re pretty strict about mask compliance (a minor reason for my love of the place), but several fools were wandering the aisles with their noses exposed. They couldn’t have gotten in that way, so it must have been a deliberate choice to say FUCK UUUU to Costco and our fellow shoppers. Did not give them the FUUUCK YOOO, I checked with the desk about their policy on the way out. They encouraged me to SAY SOMETHING to the intentional idiots next time, and I will.
So, what’s your beef? N95 masks too expensive for you? Or just not worth the shekels?
