Popular Post rooster59 Posted March 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2021 Covid-19 protection: Two masks is effective up to 96% says top doc Image: Daily News A leading Thai respiratory doctor has said that wearing TWO masks is fine and does not restrict breathing. In fact Dr Manoon Leechawengwong of Vichaiyut Hospital in Bangkok said it could stop the spread of Covid in some situations by up to 96%. He said on Facebook that he wondered in the past if wearing two masks was over the top. Now he was convinced due to new evidence that putting a surgical mask and a cloth one together was a good idea and could improve efficacy.

Perhaps a good idea suggesting this, I'm not sure. However, it's a pity he didn't say how effective just one mask is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internationalism Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 because surgical masks don't fit well, it's good to have a bigger and better one with a valve over it. the surgical mask protests others around us, the valved one protests us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 The idea of two masks is being discussed in the U.S. a lot in the last month. I haven't seen even one double masker in Thailand. I have to admit and I'm not proud of it that I would be very reticent to double mask here unless it became fairly common. I feel that people would stare and mock.

Alidiver Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 The masks MUST be a good fit. As the flow of air goes through the path of least resistance and that will be round the nose and sides instead of through the filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
