OK..if masks are going to be my life, WHICH mask?->

I was at an outside restaurant today and the waitress had on a mask with side vents. She said she got it on Amazon for like $10-$15 . It looked like decent quality and she said it was much easier to breath in than the kind I had (just regular one you see all the time)

I was wondering if I need to get one for my wife and i to wear on an airplane. THAT is the only thing I'm a little squeamish about still, and I AM going to the Caribbean this summer .

Any thoughts on those and if they are any good..Waitress said it was a lifesaver in the humidity and heat today in Henrico

Not really. Two different purposes. The N95 is about keeping the wearer -- AbsolutVT03 05/29/2020 9:18PM
