Just for grins, I looked up my shop mask to see if it was any good at all against the corona virus and because I didn't believe the results at first, I checked it out extensively on the internet AND called my doctor and asked him about it.
Long story short, this mask, which I've been using for at least 10 years probably more like 20, is not only good against the virus it's better than what the doctors and nurses are using while treating contagious patients. They use an N95, where the "N" means non-oil-based particulate matter. This is a P100 which means it filters better AND the "P" is for particulate because it handles both oil-based and non-oil based.
Want to buy one? Too late. 3M is only supplying them now to governments and hospitals. Same for Amazon, etc. But if you happen to already use one, you're in luck if you need a mask.
