No one should be wearing N95 other than medical personnel. I hope people realize if you are infected and wear an N95 you can infect others. The valve allows unfiltered exhale out into the environment.

Grocery report:
I went shopping for the first time in three weeks today and it was a completely different experience from last time. Senior hours begin at 6am and got there a minute later: no line.
There was toilet paper and tissues and orange juice, which I had begun to miss. Also, hardly any customers, which made everything more pleasant.

N95 masks are made with and without the valve.
I have a whopping THREE N95 masks and continue to wear one in stores. Which is safer? An N95 mask with a valve, or a bandana covering the nose and mouth? I will go with the N95 mask any day as a bandana would be pointless. If everyone wore a bandana, hospitals would be overrun.

I want to get the antibody test so I can at least pick my nose in public again...

Not trying to start an argument, but only to provide a little humor and insight to why wearing a mask is useful. Please see below:

Paul posted a pic earlier of his N95 masks with a valve. And the claim that anything less "is of no value" is incorrect. They provide some protection.

I did? My N95 is a peasant mask. It has no valves.
Let me correct myself and paraphrase Trump... something is better than nothing.

it also reminds you not to touch your face.
besides, we should all just get used to wearing them from now on.
Think this type of community learning is the origin of bowing, rather than shaking hands or kissing?
I didn't look it up, but a 5,000+ year old civilization may have some surprises in their customs.
Too bad during those 5000+ years it never occurred to them no to eat bats...J/K, could not pass the joke opportunity. Sorry.
imo there is no way they will have kids wear masks while riding or racing... as I learned doing all of my nica coach training, liability is everything and if there is any chance a kid might pass out...its not happening.
