Since you continue to wallow in your own reality Mr. Atwater I will again post what I earlier posted. Given the fact that you so eloquently portray yourself as a learned person of factual bias, here it is once again. The N95 mask is indeed the Cadillac of respirator but we have at our disposal is the cloth mask. As it states in my post from the Mayo Clinic...... read carefully now Mr. Out board Motor Man, when widely used they have successfully slowed the spread. There now. Without getting into the bowels of the matter in reference to different cloths, I haven't found anything to tell one what particle size each form or species of cloth provides what type of protection. I don't believe I diverted the thread of intent on the subject at all. You were asking me about specifics and I posted what the Mayo Clinic stated. I must assume you are intelligent enough to research this. Maybe not. I don't know. As to knowledge of fit testing. I think over 20 years of experience in running equipment in the mines and having to go through MSHA training and doing fit testing would qualify me in that respect. In closing Mr. Out board Motor Man, As to the comment once again about being a wind bag, It takes one to know one. Maybe you could tell us all about your research on the different cloths to use and what size particle each and every cloth can filter. I've wasted enough time on you and have better things to do like,, rearranging my sock drawer......

Fact: Cloth face coverings are most likely to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus when they are widely used by people in public settings. And countries that required face masks, testing, isolation and social distancing early in the pandemic have successfully slowed the spread of the virus.

While surgical and N95 masks may be in short supply and should be reserved for health care providers, cloth face coverings and masks are easy to find or make, and can be washed and reused.

Masks can be made from common materials, such as sheets made of tightly woven cotton. Instructions are easy to find online. Cloth masks should include multiple layers of fabric. The CDC website even includes directions for no-sew masks made from bandannas and T-shirts. This information comes from the Mayo Clinic Mr. Atwater
