Work is full of coughing tourists with no masks and I really need the best protection. I wear 2 x kn-95 but I can feel myself getting sick with something mild

    I wear 2 x kn-95 but I can feel myself getting sick with something mild

    A single N-95 is better than 2 KN-95s. An 95 has horizontal head straps instead of vertical ear straps, which is more protective because seals the mask against your face at 4 points instead of 2.

    I use the ProGear RP88020, a popular choice by hospitals.

    Also important is

    • Once you wear a mask, don't wear it again for at least 6 days (I have 1 mask for each day of the week for simplicity)
    • Discard masks after 25 hours of total wear time or 3 uses
    • Don't try to wash or clean a mask. If a mask gets wet, that mask is toast
