Regardless of the mask type or claimed efficacy, most people are not wearing them properly, defeating any benefit. They seem to not understand the point is that all the air you inhale and all the air you exhale is to pass thru a filter, not pass thru gaps between you and the filter. So if your reading glasses fog when you exhale, i'll bet $100 your N95's built-in aluminum nose clip isn't adjusted right, and it's about as effective as wearing the mask over your ear. And facial hair simply doesn't allow a seal to the skin.
I was wearing an activated carbon fume respirator outside because of the trash fire smoke, which has contributed to killing 3 people in this neighborhood. But i am not aware of anyone here dying from Covid19.
