A member asked:
I heard that masks should be the denser n95 masks, but isn't that a waste of money for bearded guys because the mask can't seal on the face anyway?

Masks for what ?: You get the most from this site when you provide detail about your issue that supports the question. Specifications for protective gear vary with the type of risk being considered. Dust or spark particulate is handled differently than noxious gasses.One can choose to ignore risk or make changes that permit use of proper gear.

N95 mask: As Dr. Ferguson advised, N95 masks are needed in limited situations. If the novel coronavirus (nCoV) is on your mind, health professionals caring for patients are currently advised to use N95 masks. However, this may not be necessary as we learn more about person to person transmisison. Most beards do prevent the necessary tight fit and most be shaved off to use N95 masks.
