1. Hospital visit today surreal. They were not going to let me visit the patient unless I took off my N95 respirator and put on a very flimsy surgical mask. I said though I drove for an hour to visit- I would call down the hall on my cell phone rather than take off N95.

1) Why is an N95 mask better than other masks?
“The fibers in regular cloth or paper face masks filter out particles by physically blocking them—but the fibers in an N95 mask also use a great physics trick. These fibers are electrically charged.

the average person putting on a 3M Aura may be more likely to achieve < 1% inward leakage (~ 99% effective filtration) than with other N95 …traditional N95 designs most people (76-86%) get to around 10% or less inward leakage (~ 99% effective filtration).
