Still minorly effective. I wouldn't trust them. You may have a .015 better chance wearing those masks over someone whos not wearing a mask but thats about it. Ask anyone in health care. Masks are virtualy worthless against swine flu.

I don't really care if they are effective.

Heh. I just looked at my stash. They are N95 masks from 3M, apparently now on back-order.

I'm going to make a killing. I'm going to the grocery store tonight and I'm going to wear one. Should be interesting.

Dude that's not a surgical mask it's a dust mask and that N stands for not oil proof and the 95 means it's only 95% effective against dust. But at least your going to have fun shopping.

Oh you got the good ones. The 95 still means it's only guaranteed to be 95% effective. I guess that's a lot better than 0%. Put them on ebay and make sure your buyers know you accept peso's. Make sure you let us know what happens at the store it should be fun.

I went to the store with a mask, but I couldn't bring myself to put it on.

Sad to see we have our first death from this bug, too.

If people start getting sick around me my ass isn't leaving the house for a couple days or weeks. Let's see work fire me for staying home during a pandemic.
