Home made and disposable masks do serve a purpose and that is for source control. Only problem is EVERYONE MUST wear masks in order for the source control to work. That has been verified many times over early on when we were first informed to cover our faces to mitigate this respiratory virus.
Those home made masks or disposable masks offer some protection for the wearer of the mask but not that much at all. We all know that already. No one is saying home made masks and disposable masks are as good as an N95 mask.
If what you are looking for is protection, then of course wear an N95 mask for your own protection. If you are looking for source control to mitigate the virus and slow the spread, PLEASE, wear a home made mask or those inexpensive disposable masks that you can purchase by the box. As a population, we could really put a dent into this pandemic with social distancing, source control masking and inoculation of our population with vaccine.
