Mask matters: comparing surgical masks vs n95 masks
SUMMARY:
With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, wearing a mask has become a
daily routine for many of us. However, with so many different
types of masks available in the market, it can be overwhelming
to choose the right one for you. In this blog, we will take a
closer look at two of the most popular masks - surgical masks
and N95 respirators - and compare their features, benefits, and
drawbacks.

Personal Note:
I personally don't see why people especially the health
professionals don't just wear N95 Masks that are the most
effective and fit the best in the long run.. I prefer the rugged
N95 respirator type mask with heavy duty straps. I suggest
practice doing some everyday tasks in your masks and training in
your mask as well to acclimate yourself and to overcome any of
the personal challenges you might have in wearing a mask...
practice makes perfect and wearing a mask requires physical as
well as mental skills to be developed.
By far the greatest challenge is wearing the mask so that it
doesn't slip or ride down off the nose especially once one
starts doing everyday tasks and stress tests the mask. Another
challenge for mask wearers is wearing or modifying things so it
doesn't fog up your glasses etc. If you can try work out all
these kinks in advance you will be more comfortable while
wearing mask...
...also I should remind you safety masks can be a powerful
multifunctional tool/filter against all airborne illness and
airborne disease as well as many modern day dangerous encounters
we face. Take advantage of your mask wearing skill! Wear the
appropriate safety mask when working in the presence of
occupational and household hazards such as pollution, poison,
mold, allergies, bad air quality, construction and repair
projects, asbestos, animal nesting, and in some cases certain
mask cartridges can filter out fumes and depending on your
territory and circumstance evidently masks help around
teargas...
...sorry if I disappoint anybody but lets not be naive, not
everything was made or designed in this world with our health in
mind.. Not everything was made in the best interest of our pink
lungs and membranes, Not everything in this world was made to be
breathed in... Rather than through your respiratory tract, learn
to appreciate and take in the beauty of the world through all
your other senses! The mask will not prevent you from loving the
world and your life. The mask will enhance health, life and our
abilities and senses to appreciate that which is around us.
...I can do anything in my mask even better, more effectively,
and safer than the maskless can! I am impervious to many things
in my mask and I can easily do things and go where no maskless
mortal would dare go!
Master your Mask!,
The Masked Man
P.S. Besides masking to prevent airborne Illness, I can't tell
you how many guys I know who painted or did sheetrock or worked
with certain harmful substances for a living that aren't with us
anymore... wear a mask to outlive them!
