I wear a n95 whenever in public.

N95 is a dust mask. We wear them all the time when shovelling grain or working in dusty conditions. The ONLY way that any mask will have ANY positive effect of preventing the spread of COVID is if someone infected coughs or sneezes. The mask, in that situation will catch any "vapour" from the cough which is how the virus spreads without actual contact. If someone has a cough of the sneezes, they should not be out wearing a mask, they should STAY HOME!!. If you don't have a cough or the sneezes, wearing a mask is purely cosmetic.
