That said, the whole mask thing for the general public is more to catch outgoing coughs and sneezes than it is to prevent inhalation of contaminated air. |
From everything I've heard/read from the doctors they are really just there in case YOU are infected you don't go sneezing and coughing on shit. Unless you have the n95 ones I don't think they do much for protecting you from any airborne stuff. Haven't read much on if this thing is even airborne, but I think the consensus so far is that it's unlikely you would catch it from the air.
So in that case I'm not sure how important a super tight seal would be.
