re: Masks. If we want one, where? how do we get them?

No, you are not wasting your time. Any protection is better than none. Just because it's not 95% of particulates doesn't mean it doesn't stop anything, 0%. Make yourself feel better for not wearing anything until it hits closer to you.

Surgical masks do not prevent you from inhaling virus particles. N95's are required for that. Surgical masks do help (not completely prevent) you not to spray out virus particles when you, if infected, cough or sneeze.

I think the biggest problem with masks is that they give people a false sense of security and then people do things like go about their business totally like normal, touch their face more often, or use old or already contaminated masks.
