After trying several different models, this is the one my 10yo daughter has been wearing for the last year. It's a legit South Korean brand and a comfortable fit for smaller faces. #Parenting #Masking #Mask

No #vaccine protects very well from #XBB116 but if you #wearADamnRespirator #HEPA #nasalSpray + #Novavax …
IMHO you’ll have a fighting chance since it’s a free for all #covidZombieApocalypse
An N95/99 respirator alone, unless it’s an elastomeric or #microclimateAir2 + #KF94 in tandem, IS NOT ENOUGH for a #variant that can be caught🚫😷in<30 seconds
Unless you signed up for the #alwaysInfected plan… that’s how long it takes #viralDose

Hi again. Thanks for the feedback and for engaging, much appreciated.
We think overhead elastic is critical to getting good fitted-filtration (ie, net filtration of a mask on a face). We summarize this here ⬇️
https://maskevidence.org/head-attachments
In North America, #N95s must have overhead elastic simplifying our advice in favour of these over #KN95 or #KF94
There are data on beards, too!
For a 10mm beard, an N95 is still more effective than all other masks.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41370-021-00337-1
If the stifling feeling is specifically associated with headstraps for you, they could be too tight. Aura 3M has simple band elastic straps that lengthen with a good hard tug. This is a pro in this situation for you.
For straps that don't lengthen so easily, consider an #N95 with braided elastic such as Vitacore's #Can99.
Vitacore's Can99 also has superb breathability so if the problem isn't the attachments, this might help.
Apologies for a N American reply to a European question.
Anyone curating info on #FFP2 or #FFP3 and suppliers please let me know: we would love to put this on our website.

Cloth & surgical junk masks are 30% effective -- better than nothing.
#N95 and reusable #P100 #elastomeric #respirators are >95% effective -- MUCH better. And they're cheap enough.

725 followers · 2993 posts · Server zeroes.caStep one is to get a quality #respirator #mask -- #N95, #N99. #P100, #KN95, #KF94, #FFP2, #FFP3, #P3 -- I prefer #elastomeric P100.
Step two is to wear it ( #WearAMask ) when around other people, because anyone could be infected.
Step three is to put a #HEPA filter or #CorsiRosenthalBox in your home (and business if you have one).

#KF94, #KN95, and #FFP2 are similar.
#N99 and #FFP3 are better.
#P3 and #P100 are even better, and are always resuable (cheaper in the long run)
But what matters most is a tight fit. #Elastomeric #respirators (rubber or silicone edge) usually fit better. Straps behind the head always -- earloops almost never fit well.
I wear the 3M 6300 with #P100 filters -- it's a reusable #elastomeric.

I won't boost an article unless it mentions either #respirator #masks (#N95, #KN95, #KF94, #FFP2, #FFP3, #N99, #P100), #HEPA filters, or the #CorsiRosenthalBox.

I just keep repeating the same thing, since Jetelina doesn't mention it.
#N95, #P100, #KF94 (etc) #respirator #masks work very well against *all* variants. #HEPA filters and #CorsiRosenthalBoxes do too.
They also work against #Flu & #RSV.
Variants evolve to evade immunity -- they cannot evolve to evade masks & air filters, not significantly. #CovidIsAirborne #CleanTheAir

640 followers · 2498 posts · Server zeroes.caWhat really frustrates me is that we have the tools to stop #Covid and #Flu and #RSV.
The #respirator #masks (#N95, #P100, #KF94, etc) filter it out. The #HEPA filters filter it out.
This works in hospitals (Cambridge study), schools (AbromeEd, Brisbane independent school), the HEPA filters even work in a restaurant (Apricot Tree Cafe).
Let's just do that. #CleanTheAir. Why are we breathing dirty, infected air? We don't have to.

640 followers · 2498 posts · Server zeroes.ca@toad From the start of the pandemic, it was always easier for those of us who were introverts.
But now we KNOW how to protect from Covid -- well-fitting #N95 or #KF94 or #P100 #elastomerics (#respirator #mask) and #HEPA filters and #CorsiRosenthalBox es.
These precautions, together, are sufficient to do nearly all *extroverted* activities, except for eating in public. So now I just don't get it.
People want their party, great, just have it with masks on & HEPA filters. Why not?

Yeah, things are getting terrible in China, but they're still very bad in Canada and the US, despite dishonest government "happy talk".
Protect yourself! #N95, #N99, #KF94, #P100, find a #respirator #mask which fits and is comfortable. FloMask is usually the favorite for kids.

Basically these "family gatherings" are infection sites. It happens like clockwork every year and the situation is worse than ever this year.
The *minimum* you should do is to wear a well-fitting #FFP2, #KF94, #N95 (or better) mask at all times -- do not take it off. Yes, this means no eating.
It is arguably a better idea to simply not attend the events at all. #CovidIsAirborne #Covid19 #Covid
A party is not worth risking #LongCOVID for.

We can't stop #cholera with vaccines. We stop cholera with water treatment plants, because cholera is in the water.
Also water filters and UV for long-distance hikers etc.
We stop #Covid with air cleaning -- #HEPA filters, #MERV13, #CorsiRosenthalBox -- because Covid is in the air.
And with #respirator #masks
( #N95 / #P100 / #P3 / #FFP3 / #FFP2 / #KN95 / #KF94 etc).
Side benefit: we also stop #flu and #RSV.
It's a #ParadigmShift.

- Most diseases were not stopped by drugs, but by *public health*
- #CovidIsAirborne
- #CleanWater stops #Cholera
- #CleanAir stops #Covid
- #HEPA filters, #CorsiRosenthalBoxes, #P100 masks, #N95 masks, #FFP3 masks, #KF94 masks, these all work
We end the pandemic by cleaning the air.
