I'm hoping they might skyrocket. It is the 3M 8835 which is the important but. The elastic is a whole load better than most and it has a soft seal all around the edge plus an exhaust valve to make breathing easier - important if you're wearing for long periods. Those little surgical masks are way better than nothing (10 times say) but FFP2 is 25 times better than them and FFP3 is a step up again.

No way of knowing that as many with the Omicron variant unvaccinated have found it no worse than a bad cold and many experts say that vaccination offers no protection. Judging by the numbers of vaccinated and re-infected going down with Omicron that could just be true.

That is true but it does not take into account any comorbidities. A London ICU doctor claimed the majority of the patients in ICU had comorbidities.
