One needs to be fit tested for an N95 and have no facial hair for it to work properly

Wrong. its basically a dust mask.

These are one size fits all
  • NIOSH-approved for filtration against certain oil and non-oil based particles
  • Braided headbands with two-strap design and staple-free, dual point attachment help provide a comfortable and secure seal
  • Adjustable nose clip helps provide a custom and secure seal
  • Lightweight construction promotes greater worker acceptance and may help increase wear time

Masks are not for your protection, your eyes are still exposed. Masks are to reduce risk of your breath passing germs that could contaminate others.

The idea of the masks of any sort is to slow the spread. So if you don’t have face shield or goggles the mask won’t protect you! However if you are an asymptomatic carrier it does save others, by containing your germs.

You cannot fit test for a n95 dust mask. They do not seal to your face. Once you jump up to a half face respirator you can then be fit tested for that mask. That is for OSHA. All this helps a bit. 100 percent? Nope.

I'll only be wearing a mask when it's absolutely necessary for me to go into a store because our governor mandated it, and it's only going to be a bandanna.

3M 2091 for when I have to be around other people.
Jason hockey mask for when I don't want to be around other people.
P3 rated cartridge filter and full face CBRN mask for when it gets froggy.

Bandana... yeah that's to protect other people. It's not protecting the wearer from anything.
