That is the biggest crock of SH!T right there!!!
They CAN't say they will protect you for Legal reasons. Anyone with a lick of common sense will realize the mask you make or buy WILL protect you, it's just no one can say by how much.
Listen to their WORDS.
Anyone who totally believes a simple "N95" mask is totally going to save you from this virus is a fool..
To FULLY PROTECT you would NEED a full face mask like this..
A 3M "N95" mask simply cannot give 100% seal around your entire face properly on everyone, they do not have a rubber gasket seal.. Not to mention, very few people really understand how to get a good fit, they do not fit me period and are worthless to me..
Add in a "N95" does not protect another important point of entry, your EYES..
YES, your eyes can absorb microscopic things very easily from the air, I deal with tree and weed pollens, I CAN feel the pollens affect on my eyes before it bothers me anywhere else.
For myself I use a half face paint respirator..
for things like mowing the lawn, cutting fire wood, sawing/cutting/sanding wood, even using stains or latex paints require me to use a real respirator.. If I ignore and don't bother, I will pay for it the next week with severe allergic reactions which trigger asthma attacks.
Anyone who thinks a "N95" mask alone even if they get a decent fit is going to keep themselves safe is only kidding themselves.. Takes more than a "N95" mask...
