    Wear A Mask or Wear A Corona

    The document compares the filtering capacities of different types of masks. N95 masks without gaps filter 99.9% of particles, but filtering degrades to around 50% with gaps. Surgical masks without gaps filter over 98% of particles, and also degrade to around 50% with gaps. Natural silk masks filter above 50% of particles, while bandanas filter below 60%. The CDC does not recommend masks with exhalation valves or vents, as their filtering capacity is below 60%.
