I used a P95 mask in my area during the outbreak last year, an industrial version of the N95 mask. The idea of wearing such a mask for more than a couple of hours is completely absurd, the longest I’ve worn during a lockdown is half an hour long enough for a quick walk to the supermarket.
There have been cases of people who passed out behind the wheel and caused a traffic accident for wearing an N95 mask, presumably due to lack of oxygen – it’s a real struggle to breathe through a highly specialized mask, especially when you’re doing something physical. My concern is that the same thing could happen to kids if they have to wear high spec masks all day at school.
And there’s a real chance that wearing a mask won’t affect your risk of contracting Covid. The virus is much smaller than the 0.3 micron particles that the mask is designed to stop. I wore a mask because I hoped it would make a difference, not because I believed it would.
