Fitted particle-filtering masks like N95s are up to 75 times more effective at preventing infection with COVID-19 than surgical masks

It will take 25 hours for an infectious dose of #COVID19 to transmit between people wearing non-fit-tested N95 respirators but if they're wearing a tightly sealed N95, they'll have 2,500 hours of protection.

@nerkles I haven't seen any hard data. People suggest it might be able to infect better via eyes than past variants, but honestly, that still seems pretty rare. I've not seen any public health recommendations around eye protection.
