in the same vein, does anyone know if a properly fitted N95 mask is the minimum standard?

I think from what I understand N95's are a higher grade to surgical masks

CDC recommends an N95 respirator - not a mask - as the minimum against infectious particles/aerosols ...

big difference but I think mostly due to better fit.
Respirators are usually big and ugly. But makes sense they work better.
Good luck if you have a beard.
How big is a virus? Wondering what the micron rating needs to be to catch them.

This is gotta be a first to have the 5th generation of a shut down thread. We are plowing new ground here Mark.

...and will keep on plowing I suspect. You get a liberal moderator reading along and wham. They shut the door and wham, it gets opened again. This thread subject transcends every other discussion topic on this entire forum and will for the immediate future...

Wonder when we hit 10 rebirths....

My wife just informed me that FCA-Chrysler, Ford Motor and Chevy-GMC have unilaterally decided to shut all US manufacturing plants starting tomorrow, 3rd shift for at least 2 weeks.

I expect American Honda, Nissan and Toyota as well as Kubota and John Deere to follow suit.
