Your going to wear N100 masks?

Yeah. They're great. Filter out allergens, smoke, perfumes... smog/exhaust particulates

Over a period of time thats going to kill a lot of people with breathing issues.

Ridiculous. An effective mask will reduce the respiratory risks from multiple origins... Far more likely to reduce mortality by solving respiratory problems people have that they have without having identified the sources of their risks. But, in context of a known risk from the virus... the mask will reduce mortality... but only if you wear one that works.

I have worked in clean rooms and know how easy (it's very hard) to keep out sub micron particles.

Yeah. Me too, But, it being hard to keep the small bits out of a room... is not close to the same thing as it being hard to keep them out of the pathway in your breathing... in a statistically meaningful reduction. An N100 mask is more than adequate to remove Covid 19 (and other) risks from your breathing.

Should be obvious, too, that an N100 mask is LESS of a risk than an N95... as a function of design ? Don't have the issues with stagnation in an N100 that you do with an N95.

Unless you are used to dealing with biohazard procedures it's a waste of time imho.

Ridiculous, again. It's just a mask... that's no more "complex" to operate than any other mask... except it works. Being used to dealing with biohazards... has nothing to do with it. Wear it and it works, Don't and it doesn't. Not rocket science.

The math is very linear... An 95 mask doesn't keep the virus out. An N100 mask does.

I don't wish to live in a biohazard lab, so either my immune system has to work, or I get a safe and effective vaccine.

What you want reality to be... has ZERO to do with it ? You do not get to choose whether or not you live in a biohazard lab... if and when there are others out there insisting that you will participate in their experiments. You can either refuse to participate by taking appropriate self protective measures... to opt out... or submit to being a lab rat. If you opt to be a lab rat... then you do have a choice between "seeing what the engineered or wild mutant of the engineered virus does to you" or "seeing what the dangerous experimental vaccine does to you... in effects they failed to mention were engineered into it".

The Chinese are, or were, performing anal swabs to check for the Corona Virus. What is the chance of going to the loo and not transmitting or catching a virus that is spreading ? My estimation is very close to zero percent.

If you wear an N100 mask... and aren't an idiot... the loo isn't that big of a risk. The risk it does represent is mostly because of breathing in aerosolized virus... which you WILL have as a risk... if you DON'T wear a mask that works.

Its not hard. Wear a mask that works... and it works. Don't... and it won't.
Another approach is necessary.

The approach that is necessary... is to do what works. That's all. It isn't a matter of choice. It's "this works"... or "this doesn't work".

Since everyone is forced into wearing masks anyway... having them wear masks that WORK... is what has you thinking "that's asking too much" ? LOL!!!
