It is a fair question for what one should do if healthy. Most people today are not wearing masks when sick. So how much protection does an N95 give us vs not wearing a mask at all? If we are healthy, should we bother with masks?



I am healthy, and intend to remain so -- I wear an N95 in all indoor spaces.


The single best prevention for viruses is an adequate amount of quality sleep.


I'd love to see some research on how quality sleep helps with, say, Ebola.


Sleep is primarily preventative, as it plays a role in the immune system. Personally, I haven't been sick in many years and when other people are getting sick I just get tired and sleep a few more hours than usual.
