      They're probably fine if you're just watching videos on YouTube about asbestos removal.

      For the actual job, though, you want proper gear and proper training. Remember, it's not just your health at risk - it's anyone nearby. I've seen houses getting asbestos removed, and they'll wrap the whole thing in a tent and keep it under a vacuum, just to stop any getting out. In some cases they'll dig up and remove the soil, too.

      They do that partly because asbestos is so dangerous, and partly because mesothelioma is such an easy win for any lawyer that takes the case.

      It would be much, much cheaper to get an expert in to remove it than to have some compo lawyer take everything you and your family own, plus a chunk of everything you earn from then on.

        Depends on the situation, mostly I wear a reusable mask that has high quality filters in it (not those crappy "pm2.5" rectangle ones, they are useless), but if I'm going into a more high risk venue I'll wear something like a 3M Aura or another type of P2/n95 disposable.

            @FrugalNotStingy: What he's said isn't necessarily a positive, it's important to get exposed to bacteria and to get the odd virus from time to time. Important to keep your immune system strong. One day he and his wife will get sick.
            More healthy to focus on personal health, fitness, not being overweight / obese, etc, rather than living life scared to death of viruses.

            • FrugalNotStingy on 25/06/2023 - 14:04

              @R00D: True. I caught covid earlier this year even I was very careful. I avoided going to restaurants, disinfect the stuff I’d touch and wore a mask at all times at public places. I even went to the extreme of didn’t let people come visit my home other than my extended family members.

              The mask I wore were certified KF94 and 3M P2 masks. I know I shouldn’t say this but I kind of feel fortunate that I got exposed to the covid virus and it boosted my immunity. I know the immunity from natural exposure will wane over time, but at least I know if I keep my immune system as is, my body would know how to fight covid in future infections.

              @R00D: Although I agree healthy lifestyle is better than living in unnecessary fear, I don't see how 'not sick" is not positive. I am not a medical professional, but I don't think it is necessary to take on bacteria & heavy virus load to keep your immune system strong. They might not be sick because their immune system is strong enough to repel the odd tiny load of virus here and there, and not being hammered by many different kind of bacteria and viruses all at once / short period of time?

              • FrugalNotStingy on 26/06/2023 - 11:34

                @richrichie: Research does suggest young kids that often play outdoors that expose bacteria and the like vs kids that live in ‘sterile’ environments (where their parents always disinfect the floor and around the house) have less allergies, asthma, gut problems and a stronger immune system as grown adults.

                  There's a difference in bacteria the kids are exposed to when playing in the dirt, and having a sick bus passenger cough in your face, or eating food past the use by date/with mould/off unclean dishes.

        "has no effect on me" - wrong. I was not pleased with the various mandatory policies and social friction

        Masks with no rating aka surgical masks do nothing but prevent spittle travelling. On the contrary, people touching/fiddling/reusing masks only propogates bacteria getting where it shouldn't be.

        Check out during the Spanish flu how many people actually died from bacterial infection, directly correlated to mask use.

        I'm a fan of people who have the flu who NEED to be in public to wear a mask… But if you're sick, you should not be in public.
        After these last few years, the topic of mandatory medical practice which is ineffective is quite a sore point to me. Don't go telling me it doesn't effect me, because it did and still does

        • bargainshooter on 25/06/2023 - 11:07

    Putting aside their usefulness for protecting against COVID (where they're at least better than nothing, and probably easier to convince someone struggling to meet their bills to use than disposables which would be a constant additional drain on their finances), these are amazing for anyone who suffers from seasonal allergies, hayfever, etc. If you have pollen problems, it's absolutely worth picking up some to keep around for whenever you might need them.

    • jmc787 on 25/06/2023 - 15:43

      Studies have proven that they <are not> better than nothing. They have zero efficacy at virus prevention. Like erecting a chain link fence to stop sand from blowing around. Claiming that they are "better than nothing" is dangerous medical misinformation. You are lulling people into a completely false sense of security by making this claim. These products provide absolutely no security against viruses and I wish people like you would stop lying about this.

        If you have a link to these studies (or even just the DOIs), I would be happy to read them. From a quick search of open-access articles published in reputable academic journals over the last two years (e.g. doi.org/10.3390/ma16030903, doi.org/10.1063/5.0074229, doi.org/10.1007/s11356-021-16847-2, doi.org/10.7326/M23-0570, doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0275376), while cloths masks are certainly of significantly lower efficacy than a tightly fitting N95 mask, they do seem to offer some level of protection. Both in terms of self-protection, and in terms of protecting others from your own droplets should you be infectious but not yet showing symptoms.

          Here you go sunshine https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/5/4/e006577.short
          "Moisture retention, reuse of cloth masks and poor filtration may result in increased risk of infection"
          "the finding of a much higher rate of infection in the cloth mask arm could be interpreted as harm caused by cloth masks"

          This study published in the BMJ demonstrated that cloth masks had negative efficacy for infection control. In other words wearing a cloth mask was worse than wearing no mask at all.

          Of course we know "the science" changed remarkably based on no new evidence in March 2020 when the covid liars got involved. And some people like yourself are still parroting those lies 3 years later.

            @jmc787: Interesting read, thanks!

            Though I'm not sure if you have read this article in details yet beyond the abstract, the discussion part mentioned about the setting and it is only not recommended for healthcare worker. The comparison in this study was mainly between medical masks vs cloth masks, as the control arm was not ideal (the author put it as limitations). Majority of the participants in the control group wear medical masks, N95, or cloth mask, which actually make the control arm not a good control stastically speaking.

            Few interesting points from this article though. It mentions about the diff between rhinovirus vs other influenza virus, where one could be filtered ok with cloth mask. It also mentioned the efficacy depends on the type of cloth masks and noted the types that are designed with multiple layers (i believe this uniqlo one is) could actually have a high virus filtration.

            I'd suggest if anyone is interested in this topic to read the discussion section of the article linked above. Some points seem like no brainer after years of pandemic, but keep in mind this study was back in 2015.

                I'm actually more interested in people's claims about "studies have found …" and learning more about these studies. And always interesting to know the reasons about people's urge to dissuade people from wearing / buying masks.

                  @richrichie: It's common sense that cloth fabric both absorbs and retains moisture you don't need a study to show that.

                  It's common sense that cloth masks have zero to negative efficacy for infection control as per the BMJ study findings, however "authorities" chose to collectively abandon common sense during the scamdemic. As a result of this they have lost both their credibility and the trust of the general public.They threw it away forcing healthy people to adopt ineffective and potentially harmful "interventions" that at best had no effect other than pissing people off.

                  A golf clap to all involved.

                    @jmc787: Not sure if I follow your reasonings.

                    Different cloth fabrics absorb and retain moisture at different rate, and the multiple layering can still retain better efficacy than zero. The general idea is I guess, a lot moisture built up will eventually reduce the efficacy of the filtering by the masks, but that does not necessarily mean it did not help at all, especially in normal setting when you dont wear it continuously for a long period like in healthcare setting.

                    The BMJ study you were referring to has also clearly explained their study limitation, if you read the discussion section. The setting was different (study was for healthcare worker), and their control arm had a major limitation (majority people in the control wear mask), so the negative efficacy you were refering to was actually negative against people that wear other type of masks, not against non-masks wearer.

                    But anyway, sounds like you have already made up your mind about your claims. Not the kind of discussion that I enjoy (when it has diverged away from the science n more around media/policy/speculations), but thanks for linking an interesting article.

                      Danmask-19 inconclusive, commentary from BMJ "all mitigating measures that have been taken in Denmark to prevent a second wave had no tangible effect on the spread of Covid-19. Those measures included a universal mask mandate."
                      Catalonia school study inconclusive, found no evidence of efficacy of masking to reduce covid-19 infections

                      As an interested individual you already know all this, but the masking liars and bullshit artists will always construct some hopium some nitpick some FUD to con people into wasting their money on ineffective face decorations for commercial gain or political motivations, as we all know that there is no health benefit to this nonsense.

                      If an authority wants to impose a public health intervention then the onus is on that authority to demonstrate the effectiveness of the intervention. The covid scamdemic liars have reversed that burden of proof and say you must prove their intervention doesn't work otherwise we must assume it does. This contortion of logic and perversion of evidence based medicine is the reason that "authorities" have shredded their credibility with the public and will likely never regain it.

      Way ahead you - I've already had wombat flu.

    These have been $2.9 for a while at my local store. Good quality

    • jmc787 on 25/06/2023 - 15:48

      Yeah, they're cheap because they're useless and nobody wants them.

        Oh come on thats not fair!

        Plenty of sad people still wear them

        We all see them alone in their cars, alone in the park or even at the mall..except when they are eating of course, then they LOVE to remove it, touch it, their face and the tables whilst they touch their face or mask again

        I love science, respect their authoritie

    I am immensely grateful to every person still masking, thank you for saving oxygen for the rest of us!

      You must be wearing 3 masks at a time.

    These would be terrible during a bushfire - they don't block pm2.5 particulates (pollen is around pm25 to pm10) and forget about aerosols. Not rated to any Australian standard.

      its been rather cool lately

      and the last summer wasnt even that hot

  • Ughhh on 25/06/2023 - 11:09

    Mask does not work, it doesn't block out the nasties, here's the evidence MSM is trying to hide from you.

      Just wait for your downvotes from karens in bandana masks queueing up for their 17th booster this year

        The evidence presented is so strong, its irrefutable. If masks work, it shouldnt matter if i cut a hole in it, wear it vertically or on my chin!!

        One of you is a troll, it's hard to tell which one though…

        • Motek Benzona on 25/06/2023 - 19:16

          Well im not hiding behids a mask 😂😁

          I have a feeling some who +'d it didn't even look at the 'evidence'/link, which highlights the issue with certain people. The headline is all that matters.

    • Ughhh on 26/06/2023 - 06:38

      I'm curious whether people who +'d my comment did so because they just saw something that confirms with what they wanted to hear, without checking the "evidence" link, genuinly considers it as sufficient evidence, or liked the ridiculous sarcastic joke.

  • keengeorge on 25/06/2023 - 12:48

    Most places dont require one anymore, but got a pack to put in my bag in case some place suddenly does again (clinics, etc) and am caught out without one!

  • Clear on 25/06/2023 - 18:00

    I've used these with a disposable mask underneath before and they work well. The large ones are actually large.

    • ldq on 25/06/2023 - 19:25

      They do work really well… Like lepers' bells.

      • Motek Benzona on 25/06/2023 - 19:32

        I find wearing 4 at once really hits the asphyxiation spot without going full kinky orange in mouth cupboard kind of thing.

        You can almost taste the carbon dioxide.

        I aways wear 4 for protection..except when I have covid 🤔

          "…antivaxxer. Y'all are triggered…"

          Chill dude. it's 2023 and unless you're still in the 3rd grade, the whole name calling game doesn't help anyone 👍

          Just converse like an adult. You got this ✌

              @Clear: I'm not going to try and police everyone here and not taking sides but the term "antiaxxer" is really played out and holds no value today. Try articulating your point better or just don't engage.

              If we've learned anything in the past 3 years (is it 3 years now?) it's let's put our emotions aside, gather what facts have actually helped, put the schoolyard terms aways and start breaking down the walls between the opposing sides and start finding common ground again.

              I'm actually trying to help you out here.
