I picked up three after grocery shopping at the LSL Winn-Dixie. The cashier was asking customers if they wanted the three per family they were giving out.

Fill 'em full of lead I say. The varmints.

Some were led, and others lead, and a ton of feathers weighs the same as a ton of lead.

The 3M N95 masks are each good for up to 5 full-time uses before they should be discarded. Obviously if you choose to wear lipstick and foundation under the mask, or eat a really greasy pizza right before putting the mask back on, or sweat a lot while wearing it, it won't last as long.

If you wear a surgical mask under the N95 mask (some people do) then it'll probably last even longer than 5 uses.

How to Use Your N95 Respirator | CDC

Wearing a N95 user instructions above. Must seal around face. All passage through the mask. Basically, a filter for both inhaled air and exhaled air. Thus, if you have COVID and have symptoms or not you keep from spreading, and if you are wearing for protection from others, you are collecting germs on outside.

So, this becomes a Petri Dish. How do you handle a Petri Dish in the restaurant? Why does it make sense to use for 5 days?

I think you may have meant "led".

Cashier tossed them into bag at WD. Didn’t even ask
