Do surgical masks really help??

The only masks that might be of some help are the N95 masks and the reason they might be of some help is because they are much finer in their ability to block out droplets that might contain the virus. Anything that is not as fine a filter as an N95 would probably be of no help at all. I will continue to follow the swine flu’s effect on NYC and surrounding areas as the outbreak continues to instill fear.
