Isn't it safer to wear a N-95? I have an N-99, but Mayo Clinic won't let you wear it inside because they say it protects you but not other people from your air. So I don't think the cloth masks they hand out give much protection....Be nice is someone who knows chimed it.
This situation has been a mess, with the CDC first saying they weren't necessary..
Also, why doesn't insurance cover them? Since they are now "medically necessary?"

@rarelybees2889- As you know, insurance companies are covering less and less and charging more and more. Natural disasters aren't usually covered by insurance. The standard masks that are considered "safe" for everyone are N-95. Read @sueinmn posts on this discussion. You will find that she knows a lot because her daughter keeps her informed.
As they say, something is "probably" better than nothing. But that, too, is questionable. I'm not sure, I'll go back to the NY Post article because I remember (I think) reading something about wearing a particular type of mask is worse than no mask. Maybe I'm wrong about remembering that, however when I have time I will check. The cloth masks I ordered from Etsy also have additional filters which I am purty sure help.

Are you talking about the masks with the valves?
