Sharma’s team modeled their research on a previous study by Duke University, which used a laser to measure respiratory droplets after different types of masks were worn while speaking. In that study, cotton masks with multiple layers reduced the spread better than bandanas and neck gaiters. The study was published in Science Advances in early August.

There you have it. Billion dollar idea. Neck gaiter made out of N95 material.
Of course, a gaiter has to be a little less restrictive for what I use because trying to run in an N95 is a little bit rough. Though I have run up the 8 floors to my office in one.
