[QUOTE="StitchJones, post: 3392638, member: 45978"] Sorry, was at the river with the kids a bit ago. Is there something confusing about. 125 micron? You seem bent that a cloth mask is adequate to handle that risk. What cloth does really well is absorb. That means you are basically wearing a sponge on your face that holds contamination (and has no standard or rating to keep said contamination out). I noticed people are fond of using somessort of random analogy on this topic. So the chain link fence one is is as fitting as I can think of. Maybe that why you don't see medical professionals using cloth mask. PPE has to meet the potential threat, I'm not making that up. It's a statement of fact. You can use a phone book as body armor, it doesn't mean it works or will save you. [/QUOTE]
