That's awesome, I'm glad you've been able to do that! The exact level of filtration is usually less important than how well they fit to the face. Leaks let so much more in than less-than-perfect filtration material -- some experts have even highlighted that the aerosols we exhale are bigger and slower than what NIOSH uses in their testing, thus are caught much more readily. And with the el cheapo DIY ways of fit testing, it's really easy to get an idea of how well any given mask seals. Really blew my mind the first time I did it. Showed me which ones fit my face best and gave me a lot of confidence wearing them.
Thanks to all the engineers, nurses, MDs, PhDs, etc who've resisted the gaslighting and taken so much time out of their lives to translate critically important information into common language for their fellow humans.
It's been a bright, shining light that's guiding us safely through.
@trendless I think this is a binary view of a floating-point situation. Breathing in "a few" COVID virii is better than breathing in a lot: lower chance of infection, less severe infections. Obviously no virus is the best choice, but improving the odds by a lot isn't nothing.
