Does anyone know where I might be able to find soft silicone type material strips like on the inside of 3M Aura masks?
I'm doing a search but not quite finding what I'm looking for.

I have cannibalized old Auras to alter this one so it has a better fit and doesn't leave as many gaps. Seems to work fine, but I need more strips to alter a couple more.
I obviously am not going to destroy masks that are still usable in order to make the alterations, the masks that were destroyed to fix the other one were on their way out anyway.

Animations reveal that COVID-19 was transmitted along the path of U.S. interstate highways. The arrival time difference was the greatest in the most rural counties and implicates road travel as a factor of transmission into rural communities. Interstate travel limits and road travel restrictions would have supported stronger mitigation efforts and reduced contact and transmission early in the pandemic.

I wish I was some sort of superhero, where I could fly around and shoot masks onto people's faces. #Pandemic is still ongoing, still killing thousands a day, disabling millions. Not doing mitigations means you're (willingly or not) participating in eugenics. Stop that please.

"Looking back, closing schools was probably an effective way of cutting SARS-CoV-2 transmission prior to the widespread availability of safe and effective vaccines, Johnson said. That’s a key piece of information for policymakers to keep in mind when another pandemic comes along."
