Why don't we tape surgical masks to the face to seal them airtight?
Answer by billmeiNov 17, 202070

After doing more research into this question, I think the answer is yes, this is actually a very good idea, only it's much more convenient to use a rubber mask brace instead of tape. I summarize my findings as well as present DIY instructions on how to do this at home in a new post: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/CrikcGiaWK9CSSzrJ/i-made-an-n95-level-mask-at-home-and-you-can-too
