re: Are N95 masks actually effective against the virus? And can we up mass production on them?

My seatbelt works too but I rarely get in accidents so I usually tell it to kick rocks. Drivers with bad driving records should just wear them and let the rest of us good drivers enjoy freedom.

Make hospital staff start sanitizing them and reusing them. Autoclave for the win.
You got downvoted by a few peons but they are actually doing this at the dental school my fiancee is a faculty member for. They just bought special UV cabinets for the masks, only to find out later that the autoclaves already have a setting for N95 masks.

Why would everyone need a N95 mask? The vast majority of the population is NOT high risk

Just roll with the cheaper KN95’s.
Though even cloth masks are fine. The virus is not just free balling through the breeze. It is encapsulated in a watery capsule of saliva or mucus.
When it goes through a cloth mask, the +/- ionic charges pull the particle to the cloth fiber and there it stays.
Lay masks in direct sunlight for 9 minutes per side and the UV rays render the virus not viable.
They don’t require daily washing, especially if you’re only wearing them briefly during the day.
