The N95 in their car just shows fear and ignorance. A N95 in general shows they don't understand the mechanics of airborne viruses.
N95s are for particles. Small particles, like dust, but particles nonetheless. Doesn't stop anything airborne, doesn't stop moisture and in fact wicks moisture.
Epidemiological studies prior to 2020 consistently showed no effectiveness of a mask as prophylaxis for disease pathogens. For the same reason that condoms are oft cited as being only 99% effective. It's a fucking plastic barrier--it should be 100% effective, period, right? Except that with condoms or masks, it comes down to iterations, to use over time. There is no demonstrated benefit over time, or as a policy, of using masks to prevent airborne disease.
After 2020, of course, the "exshperts" started saying "New England Journal of Medicine? Never heard of it," and started using engineering studies instead of epidemiological ones to tout the effectiveness of face-diapers to stop the coofs.
The funny thing is almost all mask studies since 2020 have shown the same results as all mask studies for the past century. The only thing that has changed is the conclusion section.
