Many of us never wore those silly things and still haven’t gotten Covid. Furthermore, even Fauci said they don’t do anything. Why people continue the mask-mantra is beyond me. Sheep, I guess. Instead of “baaaa.” “It’s maaaaask.”

Okay….

I read the article trying attempting to make sense of it.

1. The data is a jumbled mess. I assume but not positive that by respirator, they are referring to a half face or full face gas mask with N95 particulate cartridges or perhaps a supplied air system filtered to N95 criteria.

2. Best that I can tell, there is little to any performance increase by a N95 respirator vs a N95 mask. Surprise not.

It takes HEPA level filtration to remove viruses. This isn't cheap. I've built lab rooms before with this gear. For PPE for a single person, I've seen contemporary escape type gear that probably costs $10k plus for each person. It's two pieces consisting of a large canister that hangs around the neck and a plastic hood you pull over your head. An air hose connects the two. The canister has a battery, air pump and HEPA filters at a minimum but likely will also have additional filters to address other contaminants. Run time is about 1 hour after which a person needs to be in a safe zone.

I used an early and simple version of this kind of device when they first hit the market. It was then about $1500 IIRC. It was a plastic bag over your head and a small tank of breathing air. All this was packed in a plastic case with a shoulder strap. During the corporate tests, we had a simulated escape from a major gas release. What we found is that the air supply was adequate for walking a few hundred yards at a normal pace but not something like a brisk walk much less a run. I was the Guinea pig that did the brisk walk and went unconscious for a few seconds from oxygen deprivation. It took significant and repeated training on these devises to use them safely. We did not roll out these devices to the workforce as a whole because of the training issues. Issuance was tied to hazard level potential for particular locations.

That’s what the medical staff, that I worked with, told me. It’s like trying to stop a mosquito with a chain link fence.
