Neither are 100%.

Think how the front line workers felt wearing a once and done mask for over a week straight.This because Don fucked up. My niece, ICU nurse, did that for over a year before the vaccine was available. She survived 18 hour shifts, up close and personal to COVID.

Get vaccinated and wear a mask.
