Silver isn't toxic, it's the best and safest germkiller there is. Silver disables the enzyme that single-celled organisms use to metabolize oxygen, so they "suffocate". Kills germs, bacteria, mold, viruses, etc.

Do some research on silver, it's actually a pretty bizarre metal. Best reflector of light (mirrors), best conductor of electricity, best coating for bearings, best germkiller, etc. Used in medical, industrial, electrical, etc. Actually better than gold. It's pretty intense what all it's used for.

Colloidal silver is good shizz, so is Collidal Gold. It also has mucho benefits.

I'll research silver if you research jokes.

Home Depot (and I suspect that Lowes) has a ton of them..

And you can kill wear wolves with it too.

You catch too many diseases if you "wear a wolf" JMHO

Damnit, these masks dont stop viruses.

This is going to cause some OSHA issues quickly.

Explain how they do not stop viruses?

Check Home Depot or Lowes or a paint supply store (all in person) if you want some. Warehouse and online supply is pretty much gone, but local supply and stocking is still there.

My boss was looking to get a few "more" N95 masks last Monday and found near every source online sold out. He stopped by one of the Lowes in town and got 1 one 5 remaining 10-pack boxes. While he was checking out the package, an Asian woman shoved him aside and took the remaining 4 boxes. Word is that all Lowes and Home Depot's in Colo Spr are sold out now.

Interested in hearing his response as well. If one of the transmission vehicles for this virus is by inhaling air exhaled by an infected person I can't see how a mask wouldn't block you from that vector; at least in casual/short encounters.

ETA: I'd confess up front that this is an area I have little knowledge about, but what little I know suggests the N95 or greater would offer a fair amount of protection.

It's been discussed on the news and by others on this forum on the other thread. These only stop water particles that carry the virus. The virus can still pass through on smaller particles as you continue to breath through a mask. Some say 30 minutes max for these dust masks. Also these are not air tight and air can come in through the sides or gaps.

These are dust masks, not bio masks. About as good as gun background checks keeping guns away from potential criminals. False sense of security.

N95 and greater are what they buy for mold mitigation.

The mask works well keeping an infected person from spreading the virus. When the person exhales, the virus is clinging to water vapor and the particles are large enough to be trapped in the mask. It offers some, but limited protection to an un-infected person from inhaling the virus. Given the incubation period of this particular virus, the more people wearing masks the better off the group as a whole is.

This is why the dr office has masks at the check in desk and asks anyone who has flu like symptoms to wear one, rather than encouraging the healthy population to wear them.
