A member asked:
I heard that coronavirus face masks should be the denser n95 masks. isn't that a waste of money for bearded guys as the mask can't seal on the beard?

Mask fit: Masks fit around the nose and mouth and the straps may be adjusted accordingly. Your local hospital may also have an office which completes mask fit testing.

COVID 19: At this time, it has been requested that N95 respirators be primarily used by people who have direct contact with infectious people (like people who work in hospitals or nursing homes). You are right, being unable to make a seal can decrease effectiveness of a respirator. However, a surgical or cloth mask can still prevent the wearer from spewing droplets on others.
