How effective is a surgical mask at protecting the wearer against the swine flu? Let’s say for some reason I don’t want to get the swine flu (duh), would wearing a surgical mask in public protect me 100% or not?

100% no. If you think logically a mask is full of little holes.

100%? probably not. but it lowers your risk of getting the swine flu by a lot.

I’m sorry to change the subject, but have you seen your eye!
It looks infected. That should be your priority – not Swine flu!
Seriously dude, wtf is up with your eye?

Swine flu has similar ways of being contacted as any common cold. Therefore, it even has the potential to enter your system by going into the eye-sockets (past the eyeball itself)…

0%, surgical masks have little holes in them and air can get in the mask especially when ur moving around.

Not effective at all. You need an N95 mask to the best protection, but even then, you are not 100% protected. As others have stated, the virus can enter your body via your eyes. The N95 masks need to be properly fitted as well. There is no one size fits all mask.

It surely reduces the risk of getting infected (greatly!) …
back in 03 (?) during the SARS outbreak everybody was wearing a mask no matter where they go…and many experts explained why they should wear masks—-this can at least prevent direct exposure to the germs spread by coughing and sneezing etc.
at least you don’t contact the vapors directly and I think wearing masks somehow remind you not to rub your eyes,nose…etc during this critical time.
I assume what they said still applies
but i’m afraid others would look at you like you’re swine flu carrier if you do wear one…….-_-|||
BTW, i think there’s no ’100%’ in reality, even those that claim 99% is when they are used ABSOLUTELY PEFECTLY ( like in lab setting!), sometimes almost impossible.
and think about condoms, I was shocked to learn that they are just 9X% effective, not 100%! but that’s high enough, right?
