[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 2301092, member: 219467"] My last point A quote from the Lancet study you mention that [USER=504712]@ert[/USER] linked to. "as was use of face masks (including N95 respirators or similar and surgical or similar masks [eg, 12–16-layer cotton or gauze masks]) and eye protection (eg, goggles or face shields). Added benefits are likely with even larger physical distances (eg, 2 m or more based on modelling) and [B]might be[/B] present with[B] N95 or similar respirators[/B] versus medical masks or similar. " and " Despite this step, our findings continued to support the ideas not only that masks in general are [B]associated[/B] with a large reduction in risk of infection from SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV but also[B] that N95 or similar respirators[/B] [B]might be associated[/B] with a larger degree of protection from viral infection than [B]disposable medical masks or reusable multilayer (12–16-layer) cotton masks[/B]. Nevertheless,[B] in view of the limitations of these data, we did not rate the certainty of effect as high. [/B]Our findings accord with those of a cluster randomised trial showing a potential benefit of continuous N95 respirator use over medical masks against seasonal viral infections" (my bolding) Not an old t-shirt in sight... Enjoy and farewell x. [/QUOTE]
