You are correct here is the 3M worksheet explaining the difference...""".In times of shortage, only healthcare professionals who are working in a sterile field or who may be exposed to high velocity splashes, sprays, or splatters of blood or body fluids should wear these [surgical N95] respirators, such as in operative or procedural settings.”2 For other workers who will not be performing such surgical procedures and do not require protection from high-pressure streams of liquid, a standard non-surgical N95 (or similar) respirator can be worn to help reduce those workers’ exposure to patient-generated airborne viruses and bacteria."""

You are so right on so many points, Politicians like the CEO's of Companies should only profit by the margin that their Citizens or Shareholders profit and if the Company or Country loses money or goes bankrupt the Politicans or CEO's and Top Management should lose Money or go Bankrupt also,,that would solve most of our problems...I always vote with Clenched Teeth but our Elected Officials means Choosing the bought off Top Criminal from one Party or the bought off Top Criminal from the other Party...Covid has been totally Mishandled by almost Everyone, they now predict 300,000 Deaths by December and by next Spring who knows we might exceed the Death Toll of WWII....Not Exactly the Outcomes that instill Faith in our so called Leaders....

Two N100 Face Masks, the top Mask should not be used for Covid because the valve or vent will allow the user's breath to exit the Mask, the bottom Mask could be used for Covid even though it is an identical Mask but the valve or vent has been covered with black electrical Tape, thus not allowing any of the user's breath to escape the Mask....

I have NBC Masks, Half Face Masks, P100 Masks, N95 Masks, and N95 Masks with Valves which are usable just put Electrical Tape on the Outside of the Mask over the Valve sealing it off and making it like the N95 Masks without the Valve...also don't forget Face Shields or Goggles for Eye Protection....

The Government Response both Parties to the Pandemic has been mostly a Failure, now We are being set up again whether intentionally or unintentionally for the Perfect Storm, Labor Day Weekend, Schools reopening for In Person Classroom Instruction, the Flu Season and Covid.... 170,000 Dead and Counting....Personally I would like to fire Everyone in Charge and Start Over....

Wear a Mask....I could care less if anyone thinks I am a Coward or Fearful for wearing a Mask....Most of those who exhibit False Bravery by not wearing a mask have never done anything Really Brave in their Lives....So far Masks have been proven to be effective, even if Masks were not effective all I am out is the inconvenience of wearing a Mask,,,,But Masks have been proven Effective and by acting Macho and not wearing a Mask all You are out is possibly Killing Others or Yourself....

Control, It's All about Control... This I am a Democrat and I am a Republican, I am a Conservative and I am a Liberal, and the Hatred and My Way or the Highway is Exactly how to Control People and keep them from Coming Together, Possibly Compromising and Solving Problems...While the Two Parties have Substantially Different Platforms, Pro Gun versus Anti Gun, Pro A******n versus Pro Life, Pro Business versus Pro Environment, Pro Labor versus Pro Business, the Extremists on Both Sides of the Aisle keep These Issues from being resolved...and Keep us from the Real Problem which is Both Parties which have been Totally Corrupted by Money and Power and No Longer Represent We the People...Buy Low Sell High, if You go back as far as 1900 every Ten Years or so there has been a Disaster and a Recovery that has driven prices down, a good time to buy, and then the Recovery which has prices going up a good time to sell and profit, but only if You know when to buy and sell or are Manipulating The Circumstances...Our Government needs to swing back to the Middle and truly Represent the People again and Solve Problems not Create Problems...if not We the People need to Unite and Force them to....The Real Enemy is not Us,,,,It's Them.....

We Live in Unprecedented Times, the First Time in History a BioWeapon has been used Worldwide against Humanity....It will only get Worse.....In VietNam Asians were the Majority, the Asians, B****s, Hispanics and W****s I fought with were some of the Finest and Bravest Men I have ever known...My Brothers, Myself......All Races need to come Together Worldwide to Fight the Incredible Evil that has Taken Over this Earth....We are the new Native Americans.....What Happened to Them, Could Happen to Us.....

Do You have Home Insurance, Do You have Health Insurance, Do You have Car Insurance, Do You have Life Insurance, Do You have a Plan for Your Family if a Nationwide Disaster should occur ? It is a simple matter of planning and insurance for a worst case scenario...We are all Productive Members of Society, We don't burn things down, We don't tear things down, We don't hurt or harm others, We build things and treat others with Respect and Kindness and We live in our own Homes, but We have a plan...

The OP stated Guns were selling off the shelves, one cause was postulated to be the r**ts, another cause is the P******c....I wonder how far your platitudes will go when the chips are down....I guess what I am trying to say and what I hope comes out of all this is Folks less Dependent on the Government or Others and more Self Reliant...

You must have missed my statement about having like minded people with different critical sk**l sets, my house is paid for, will I defend it, no, it can be burned down or taken over as when it comes to life and death I will leave it for a defendable perimeter with like minded people...That perimeter will be defended by 20 to 40 people...the problem is feeding that many people,,, guard duty will be in pairs so no one falls asleep, with twice as many on guard at night as during the day time, night guarding while others sleep, day guarding while others work...in the Military it takes three to four to five people assaulting a defensive position to take it and most of those people will be wounded or k**led doing it...Roving bands of Civilians with questionable Armament and Training will probably not exceed a handful to a couple dozen people as they won't find enough food in one place to feed more people...we can easily defend against that...can we defend against Professional Military with Heavy Armament, no, but we can go down fighting...

The Time to Prepare for a Disaster is not During a Disaster,,,,but before...........
