There is a lot of good data - but not enough hard certainty about what it
tells us, yet.

Filter needs to be 0.1 micron and THEN have additional useful properties.
N95 masks stop notionally 95% of 0.1 um objects. %% pass through doesn't
sound very encouraging :-).
N99 also available.

I wear an N100 when going out and yesterday added a face shield as well.
Chances of meeting the but here are so far low. Lower than low suits me
with my stats.
[I'm actually healthy enough but I don't look good on paper :-) ].

I use two basic masks with a "gladwrap" plastic layer between - so it is
imp[ervious. I breathe via various edges and use sanitiser on the mask
edges. Stops direct face to face droplets and, most important, face
touching.
Shield is an experiment.
I'm thinking of adding a Starwars imperial navy helmet :-).

For those with facebook this page with image of me relates :-).

Maybe 2 hours as aerosol BUT need to be aerosolised to do this - not an
aerosol usually.
Entry by nose/mouth - wipe face with hands.

What is the effect of steroids  (especially predisone  and testosterone).

BUT NSAIDs may be - still uncertain - Ibuprofen thought possibly bad in
SOME cases.

Enough of my ranting, I am following Rules and Policies as I understand

>

Disinfect incoming goods or leave say 12 hours.
Change clothes and shoes at door if serious.
Wash hands etc incoming.
Wash often internally just in case [tm]
Alcohol 60% and above sanitiser works well.
Soap and water 20 seconds good wash said to work - I have some doubts.

Maintain separation in public
Sanitise each shopping trolley handles etc.

Excessively paranoid behaviour may be OTT and not necessary.
Or not !!!
