I read the other day that the best mask is the one with TWO straps. I see these ladies have the ones with two and not the one strap that you get when you just want a dust mask. I hadn't thought of that until I read it ... TWO straps!

I may be wrong, but I really doubt the masks do much of anything except make people feel more in control- like they're doing something. If this is caused by a virus, my suspicion is that the viurs particle size is small enough to get through poores in the masks.
At least in the OR we have special viral masks that are made with smaller poores so that the smaller viral size particles are filtered out.
If anyone has definitive info about whether or not masks make any difference I'd love to know about it.
