I'm still digging everyday about the situation with the virus and I'm finding more and more interesting information to share !

From the official news: ''In Russia already 13500 infected. Among the top 16 most infected in the world. Over 1.7 million in the world.''

I learned today something new from a Russian doctor, if you know Russian, you can watch it here :

He explained in the video the difference between a mask and a respirator !

The mask is mostly for infected people to not infect others. But, the world health organization is asking everybody to wear it, because anyone can be infected without knowing about that. So, to not spread the virus it's better to wear it for everyone. The thing is that the mask can't protect you from the virus as the doctor said. By wearing it you will protect others from yourself in case you're infected.

The respirator can protect people from the virus because it has a
filter. That's why doctor who are working in the hospital they need to wear respirators instead. Bcause they need to stay healthy to save as much lives as they can. The doctor also making fun of those who are working in government and wearing respirators while a lot of doctors all that they can find is a mask.

Without that video I would never understand the difference. I really thaught before that a mask can protect people from the virus and I wanted to buy one, but I didn't find masks in closest pharmcies. So, I may order a respirator because I'm the only one in my family who has to get out to buy food. I hope that will protect me.

I hope this information is useful for you and you understand what's the difference. The web is full of information about the existence of the virus, but there are so little good information that show us the truth.

Stay safe !

If we all wore the surgical mask there would be no problem, fpp3 is not necessary, better fpp2!

Yeah, in the video he said fpp3 is better. I don't know about the other one. I need to order something anyway.

Great info and you are right. I just started a little business in the states called the Social Distance Mask Company because there are now places such as Los Angeles where face covering is required. But, they don't want people to use medical equipment which should be saved for Emergency workers. My masks are simple but can be upgraded to n95 with a cartridge. I'm contemplating making a steem or hive account for my business but I don't see many small business using steemit as a blogging platform.

Yeah, that's good to have something private for people. It's hard to find masks or respirators for people, it will be good if they will order it from you.
