I wore one yesterday when I went to pick up groceries and bring them back into my apt. I felt claustrophobic, like I was suffocating, just from two layers and a piece of filter material.

I cannot imagine what it's like to be dressed like that all day. OMG. These people are more than heroes. I simply don't have the words to express my gratitude and respect.

He put on N95 then put a surgical mask on top of that. I had trouble breathing through a cotton mask (with inserted filter).
