TheTeapot Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Imagine if you will a situation where a retired GP tells you that a mass vaccination campaign having the effect of bringing the consequences of infection down to the level of a cold is "nonsense".

Boris Johnson Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 6 hours ago, craggy_steve said: If they're not symptomatic, and their employer consents, I can't see a big problem in allowing the Positives to return to work with the condition that they wear an unvented FFP3 / N99 mask at all times and observe good hygiene (hand washing, yada yada...) until their infection has passed. Obviously that's not going to be appropriate for all employers or all job roles, but it could significantly reduce the numbers stuck at home when they could be working. FFP3 / N99 masks have an "open" vent for breathing out, its just the in breath that is filtered so that is a really bad idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precisely why I specified "unvented". Here you go.... https://www.3m.co.uk/3M/en_GB/p/d/v000125642/ There are other brands available https://www.medisave.co.uk/ffp3-face-mask-x20.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your out breath is done by a small, about 20mm dia' one way valve without filtration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 You can buy N99 masks vented or unvented. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it isn't. You're confusing a particular type of FFP2/FFP3 which has a valve and is meant for filtering out particles coming in only (eg in building work) with the sort being used here where the filter works both ways. As this useful recent article on masks says: It is also important to choose a mask that does not have a plastic valve on the front or side, as some FFP masks do. Masks with valves let a portion of your breath out unfiltered, so they give insufficient protection to those around you. It's worth reading the whole thing as it is good advice and also illustrates how there's such an unwillingness to learn new things from the last two years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
