Well, there's lots of factors, and "most" people wearing a mask isn't much better than "nobody". N95 is good for several hours when it seals well and you keep it in place to avoid droplets entering the inside of the mask where you can breathe them in.That said, I wear an N95 in public and often can't socially distance, and I haven't caught it yet. (Or I don't think so.) There are lots of approved N95 and KN95 and the best approach is to find a type that fits your face well and possibly add a second cloth mask to help keep it in place. If it's not sealed and comfortable, avoid the Exhibition Hall because you can't fight a lifetime of breathing habits. Remember that tests often don't turn positive until a couple of days after infection..
Let me clarify, in Jesse O situation, on a plane, with someone infected with no mask the max 2.5 hours an N95 protects. For the exhibit hall, you are correct.
And for chocolateshake, my point had been that even in the one-to-one situation, you need a good seal or even 20 minutes of filtering could be ineffective.
Me, I'm a senior who got a booster shot within hours of when they were authorized. A 20-pack of quality N95 masks is now less than $8 on Amazon, next day delivery.
Yeah, with my son due any day now, my SDCC plans were decided for me a while ago, but with that being said, I'd be worried about going this year.
Had my mask down briefly to drink and staff asked me to put it back up. However, I saw 2 people with “chin diapers” and a handful not even bothering (it was more prominent among the reseller booths).
Just remember what Chris Hardwick said. If anyone gets COVID, it is a 2022 SDCC Exclusive Edition of COVID.
