ea93105 Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 I don't understand why governments including Mexico haven't made it priority #1 to produce N95 masks in sufficient quantity so that every person getting on a bus or plane is handed a mask for mandatory wearing and they can keep the mask. How hard can it be to produce these masks even for Mexico?? It's not like making a TV or something. Confined seating on busses and planes makes correct distancing pretty much impossible (especially with circulating air in a enclosed space ). May not prevent 100% chance of transmission but sure would go a long way and cost benefit would be huge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 You must have missed the part about N95 masks being in short supply worldwide? Even for those in hospitals on the front lines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ea93105 Posted April 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 I'm aware of the shortage .Why not start a manufacturing plant right now? If it's made a top priority I'm sure they could be produced quickly. Relying on existing manufacturing is not enough. Pretty simple thing to make seems to me and could put a lot of people to work. I think the hard part is probably the N95 filter element. Hell of a lot easier than building respirators If they are going to continue busses and flights.....

ea93105 Posted April 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 And yes of course the medical workers should be the first to receive any masks. After that masks should be directed to where people are almost forced together to have maximum effect....churches should be handing them out as well although they can distance people inside to a degree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHILLIN Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 If there is a shortage of N95 masks, try to find the more expensive HEPA cartridges or masks. N95 eliminates 95% of microspores, dusts, virus, whereas HEPA offers 99.7%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how ignorant they may be about the entire problem and how unrealistic their fantasy solution is they will still be congratulated by some as having offered a positive response. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostlylost Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 3 hours ago, slainte39 said: Yeah, like ordering "SOME ONE" to start a manufacturing plant "right now"...... Right on. Anyone can manufacture basic cloth masks.There are only a few companies in the world that are able to make masks certified N95. If you have seen the assembly line it is easy to understand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 ea93105 yes your ides is good lets give good masks to people who travel AFTER the health workers receuve their share... The problem is that there is nothng left after the health workers, they do not receive enough masks so ther is nothing left for annyone else. You must have missed the articles in Spanish of the doctors from IMSS compalining about the lack of masks gloves and protective equipment.. Travelling is a luxury right now and I would rather see the health workers protected and people who have to be in contact with other s than the travellers..who should not be travelling to start with. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
