I see no reason to doubt their claims about inactivating viruses on the mask. However, at ~$8 per mask, it would be cheaper to just use one normal n95 per day than to use one of these for 3 days. I expect the antiviral masks will also lose filter efficacy and fit quality with reuse. Also, I don’t think self inoculation is very likely if you’re careful about handling the mask and wash your hands after. So, it’s probably overall safer to use one n95 a day than to reuse an antiviral mask for 3 days.
I use an antiviral N95 mask.

How well do you think this does against item (1)? And how would it affect your final recommendation?
