"Possibly as many as 20% will die" It would have to be many years after because if even 2% die in the first 3 months, it will be removed from the market.
I will look closely at who manufactured it and the data from the clinical trials and make my decision then and i would worry about a vaccine produced by election day. It is usually a several year process with a rush process taking 12-18 months. Id be more comfortable seeing one come out in that time period.
N95 masks are out now (not KN95)-They will protect you rather than mainly others as the cheap surgical masks do. There are ways to sterilize them so you can wear them more than once.Google it.
I keep hearing that the virus cant live outside the body for more than 5 days on any material. Im no DR or scientist but if so it would seem reasonable that if you had one N95 for each day of the week-that would give them enough of a rest for the virus, in the unlikely event there was virus on the mask to begin with, to die before you put it on 7 days later. UV Rays (the sun) and high heat should expedite this process. Do your own research.
