I saw the post pointing out all the problems with wearing th N95 masks. I assumed that implied that the masks were ineffective and not worth wearing.

Was I wrong? Do you actually support wearing masks since something is better than nothing?
I wear a mask in my office, but not because of covid. One of the things I commonly do is debride thick mycotic (fungus) nails. I often use a dremel like grinder that produces copious amounts of "nail dust" which is full of fungal debris. A also use a vacuum device, but it fails to collect all of the dust.

I DO NOT want to inhale that and an N95 mask is perfect for that situation. But I typically have it hanging from one ear and only put it on if I know I'm going to do that procedure.

I haven't worn a mask in public since the mask mandates were lifted and I only did it then to comply with the venues I wanted to enter. I figured their place, their rules...
