Safest Covid-19 Face Mask: We Found That Not All N95s On Amazon Are Equal | WSJ

[@ILoveManCity.]

a fake N95 won't block 95% but at least will block more than 70% of air particles if fitted well while disposable only block around 30% of air particles because they are literally made just for doctors and nurses to be protected from splashing & large particles droplets like blood or saliva not to filter or block very small particles in the air.

[@peterzavon3012]

If it is a FAKE KN95, you have literally no idea how poorly it will filter.

[@AshmewStudios]

There was this research that showed a fake KN95 filtered *10%* of particles. That's even worse than a cloth mask. Usually you can do a little google search and find the CDC/FDA tests on the KN95s (KN95s aren't NIOSH approved)

[@ILoveManCity.]

@@AshmewStudios is true, for it to filter 10% has to be one layer like really cheap ones at the store or people cutting their clothes to make them, the best way is to cut them and make sure they have at least layers even if that won't guarantee it will prevent 95% to go through it.
