Originally posted by JamesBrown11 View PostRespirators (very effective)
Only certified N95, FFP2 or FFP3 respirators are effective at blocking Covid.
These respirators are obviously in high demand and extremely hard to get by general public as supplies are usually restricted to NHS staff only.
If you manage to find such respirators online (eg Amazon) they are most likely fake.
Surgical masks (somewhat effective)
Much less effective than respirators but much better than nothing. You need to make sure they are certified for medical use.
As with respirators, Amazon is flooded with coverings that resemble surgical masks but most are fake and completely ineffective.
Look for small print like the following:
This is general use face mask. The mask is not intended for medical use, and not proven to reduce the transmission of disease.
Other types
Effectiveness of other types of face coverings has not been proven. In my opinion dust masks and similar are most likely completely ineffective against Covid. Coronavirus/SARS/Influenza particles are extremely small (0.1 μm). That's 10-1000x smaller than dust particles (1-100 μm).

Originally posted by vetran View Postcan I suggest for you two bags, one to cover your face, and another just in case the first slips off?
Maybe make them plastic so they are more durable?
Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostWell, indeed. Why risk it when Jeeves can risk it for you?
