If the mask in not N-95 equivalent, what good is it? Or is this just another attempt by the power hungry Dem masters to rule over people and subjugate them?

the mask is nothing more than a training burqa!!!

Look up ‘electrostatic forces’ and ‘Brownian motion’, and you’ll have your answer.

N95 is not the gold standard everyone keeps wanting to make it. However they can be quite effective if the fit correctly and are actually used correctly. N95 filtering facepiece respirators are air-purifying respirators certified by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to have filter efficiency level of 95% or greater against particulate aerosols free of oil and greater than 0.3 microns in size. Here is a really good article about N95 effectiveness against Covid-19: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/06/11/fact-check-n-95-filters-not-too-large-stop-covid-19-particles/5343537002/

And one about how they would be generally ineffective in general public use: https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/04/commentary-masks-all-covid-19-not-based-sound-data

Either source can be believed or not, but from my viewpoint the information in them appears sound, and mirrors my experience in the realm of having used respirators and other PPE for many things including dangerous chemical usage in aerosol form throughout a large portion of my 49 years on this planet.
