  1. How was this study done, though? How did they establish that the healthcare workers caught diseases despite wearing properly fitted masks, not at other times of the day ( lunch breaks) when they weren't wearing masks? How the hell did they find a hospital that wasn't using any PPE to use as a control group to compare the hospital that was using isolation gear against?

  3. The 3M N95 fitted masks available in multiple sizes are thicker and sturdier than the Honeywell one size fits all N95's that have become more common now, and cheap knockoffs of the various types of masks were being made in 2020. If the N95s were completely futile there'd be a lot more TB among hospital staff.

  4.  @GoodnightJLH  Yeah, I saw that. Looks like a real apples to oranges to turnips comparison. I think it's mostly a compliance issue combined with the viruses that were studied going endemic. If only a few cases of something exist, those patients can get put in isolation rooms and staff can use PPE and be protected. Once things are widely spread, even wearing N95 protection throughout the shift won't work perfectly because staff could even get infected with a virus while changing from the N95 they used in an isolation room into their regular N95 mask.

  5. BinarySingularity, The authors of the study admit that compliance was low. This isn't a comparison study, it's a review of averaging together of other flawed studies. It proves not much except that mandates don't work when people don't comply.

  6. I've been using N95s with good results. Only one cold since 2020 and I caught that when I went for my physical. The thing is, nurses can catch diseases in the break room or in a non isolation room when they're not wearing an N95. I think the problem is people being half- assed about how they wear the masks, wearing N95 with one elastic loose, wearing medical surgical masks loose, leaving air gaps at the sides of their noses or having their noses out altogether, or wearing the thing for a neck warmer half the time. Pulling their mask down to talk to people close by, etc ...
