How useful are face masks during the coronavirus crisis? Experts can’t really agree on this: Should we wear them? And if so: who should wear them? Do they protect me, or the other person? And which types of masks make sense at all?
In many Asian countries, face masks are regarded as one of the main weapons in the fight against the coronavirus. And in China it’s even forbidden to be on the streets without a mask.
Here in Europe, we have mixed feelings about wearing masks. In times of scarcity many believe masks should be reserved for healthcare workers who depend on protection. But that view seems to have changed recently. Now more and more local authorities do recommend to wear masks in public.

So, if you have ordinary face covers made from cloth, you are supposed to disinfect and or clean them daily after use. As for surgical covers, N95 and N99, it’s recommended to throw away after daily use. However, with the current pandemic looming over us, even those supplies are running dangerously low!
The ProN95i Respirator is a technology that’s proven to be even more effective than the N99. Initially created for US Navy Seal and Special Forces to prepare themselves against biological warfare in the country. ..”

If you do not have any respiratory symptoms, such as fever, cough, or runny nose, you do not need to wear a medical mask. When used alone, masks can give you a false feeling of protection and can even be a source of infection when not used correctly.
Face masks for the public during the covid-19 crisis BMJ 2020; 369 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.m1435 (Published 09 April 2020) bmj.com
“..(1) Wearing a face mask may give a false sense of security and make people adopt a reduction in compliance with other infection control measures, including social distancing and hands washing.[3]
…(5) Face masks make breathing more difficult. For people with COPD, face masks are in fact intolerable to wear as they worsen their breathlessness.[5] Moreover, a fraction of carbon dioxide previously exhaled is inhaled at each respiratory cycle. Those two phenomena increase breathing frequency and deepness, and hence they increase the amount of inhaled and exhaled air. This may worsen the burden of covid-19 if infected people wearing masks spread more contaminated air. This may also worsen the clinical condition of infected people if the enhanced breathing pushes the viral load down into their lungs…”
Face masks are now recommended for all, but how much do they help?

The coverings alone won’t keep you healthy, but they will provide some protection.
“..Certainly some viruses travel well through the air in aerosolized droplets, but you’d need to be in close proximity of a sick person sneezing or coughing for that to happen. On the other hand, you shake hands with a sick person or touch things that a sick person has recently touched quite often, even without realizing it. You also touch your face roughly 52 times every day, and every time you do you carry infectious agents from whatever you just touched to the region around your nose and mouth. From there, those bacteria or viruses can get into your mucous membranes and cause disease.
It’s for this reason that the World Health Organization doesn’t suggest using surgical masks alone as a method of prevention. When used in conjunction with frequent hand-washing—the gold standard of disease prevention—they can be effective. But alone, they won’t do much, though they might do something. And right now, something might be enough to recommend them…”
Should Everyone Wear A Mask In Public? Maybe—But It’s Complicated Tara HaelleSenior Contributor

‘…“The question a month ago was will they protect you, the wearer, and the answer is still, they probably won’t protect you,” Eli Perencevich, the University of Iowa infection prevention specialist I spoke to for the last article, said when I spoke to him today about the topic. One of the biggest reasons they won’t protect the average wearer is that most don’t wear them correctly—even when trained—and unconsciously engage in counterproductive behaviors, such as touching the mask frequently. …
“The critical thing is that we’re in a totally different part of the epidemic, where the shift is that we have to assume many of us are infected, so we would wear masks for a totally different purpose,” Perencevich said. “Now, with social distancing, we’re assuming everyone is sick, so it makes sense for the time being that the CDC is considering broadening mask recommendations, not to protect the wearer, but to protect the family members and others in the community.” ..
Homemade masks were not as effective as surgical masks in preventing wearers from expelling droplets, but they did reduce droplets and were better than no protection, according to a 2013 experiment.
…Five separate studies in the 2015 review above found that N95 respirators significantly reduced infections compared to surgical masks.

“..Disposable face masks block large particles from entering your mouth, while more tight-fitting N95 respirator masks are far more effective at shielding you from airborne illnesses. Both of these masks could potentially help protect you from getting a viral infection, but US government officials have emphasized that the American public should not purchase face masks to prevent themselves from getting infected. Instead, only people who are displaying symptoms of coronavirus should wear masks to prevent the spread of the disease to others. ..
A better way to protect yourself from coronavirus
Despite the small number of coronavirus cases in the US, many people are eager to protect themselves. The best way to protect yourself from the current coronavirus — and any other virus such as the flu — is to stick to basic hygiene habits. Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds, avoid touching your face (especially your mouth, nose and eyes), sneeze or cough into your elbow, stay home when you’re sick and disinfect surfaces often. …”

‘…Face Masks Protect Against The Virus
Standard face masks do little to protect against contracting the virus: they’re designed to keep the mask wearer from spreading their own germs, not to protect against particles entering the mask.
Wearing masks can actually increase your risk of infection: if worn incorrectly, you might find yourself readjusting your mask and touching your face more.

“…
My state is requiring use of face masks when in public areas such as a grocery store, but I have chronic lung disease which makes it hard to breathe when I wear a face covering. What should I do?
Individuals living with chronic lung diseases are at higher risk for worse outcomes if they become sick with COVID-19. As much as possible, it’s best to remain home and distanced from others to reduce your risk of contracting the virus that causes COVID-19.
If you must go into crowded areas where masks are generally required, I suggest you speak with your healthcare provider about a doctor’s note explaining the medical reasoning for not wearing a mask and keep that on you when out.
