The only masks that offer significant reduction in particles on the order of size necessary to mitigate pathogen (COVID-19) transmission are N95/P100 rated masks, which are difficult to find. There are however some materials that have been tested to be more effective than others for homemade masks. Here is a link for those interested.

* This does not appear to be a rigorously peer reviewed study, so keep that in mind when making serious healthcare decisions. That said, it seems to be a good place to start relative to arbitrarily wrapping just anything around one's face and believing it works.

* When I was an undergraduate, in microbiology lab they secretly "contaminated" our hands with a UV dye, and after 10-15 minutes, they turned the lights off and turned on a black light, showing us just how quickly contamination spreads when behaving normally. They instilled a sense of contamination paranoia, for which I have been thankful for. It is incredibly beneficial for mitigating pathogen transmission.

There are fabrics and materials that do work better than others however and can lend SOME ACTUAL protection in absence of true masks. Flow rate is also key. Be safe people. If you're not protected behave as such.

What would you suggest to be reasonable balance between health and sustainability? If we all get sick of wearing hard to breathe masks people will just give up and wear nothing. Life is always about compromises to an extent and this is no different imho.

That not withstanding, my real point was to highlight the inefficacy of almost all but rated masks so those without proper protection behave appropriately as that is the best and only real protection they have. In addition the eyes are another modality for transmission so even an effective mask is only part of the equation.
Yes get what you can get and use it but there is much better than basic cotton, and most importantly, is to be aware of the notable limitations. The list of materials I linked not only includes filtration efficacy of different materials but ease of airflow as well. I believe most are subjectively aware rated masks are best but aren't aware specifically just how inferior basic cotton masks are at removing .3 micron or smaller particles. If someone said this car has no airbags you'd drive differently. This is analogous and was my intent.

I believe the logic is, a proper mask fitting can be made but even so without proper filtration it is meaningless, and, all else equal, reducing more particles from the majority share of air using X material instead of Y is better. It is a data point they provided and I linked to, it was not a suggestion to strap a coffee filter to your face and go brave the world headlong. Almost nothing is 100%, but some implementations more significantly mitigate risk than others. That is my point. Basic cotton does essentially nothing but add a cuddly warm feeling of naive safety.

slickDEALS is a website geared towards an audience interested in purchasing items at a good price, not about how to make those items. I would argue pointing to a link with 20+ materials is far less useful than providing a link to a ready to buy mask that you feel is worthwhile.
What mask do you suggest for those that are not wanting to wear/find difficulty in procuring N95 masks?
