    Do masks help the wearer? Last time I heard it didn’t. Probably wrong.

    Either way, good for you…even if it only helps others that’s a good reason!

      N-95 masks are protective, and to a certain (most likely lesser degree), KN-95 masks are also protective.

          Oh, thanks for the info. How effective are n95s and/or surgical/cloth masks given that information?
