Can someone share the best mask recommendations for COVID currently? There are some pictures with in-depth test results and comparisons - can people reshare those pictures? (Trying to find them, struggling)

They don't need 'em anymore. Now they use bio-weapons.

Wouldn't it be ironic if COVID-19 was actually 100% fatal and that these initial infections during the first few years of the pandemic we're just the infection phase of a virus that goes into a dormant stage for about a decade, only to re-emerge and kill every single person who got infected?

Wouldn't that be ironic?

If you’re in the eastern part of the , particularly in the metro area, please consider putting together sample packs of or equivalent to offer to your delivery people, postal workers, etc. today!

The is really abysmal today and poses health risks to EVERYONE, whether they have or other breathing problems.

Anyone who’s working or traveling outdoors today should & given the resources to do so.

An easy graphic to illustrate how and when masks (respirators) are most effective.

Masks Work. Distorting Science to Dispute the Evidence Doesn’t.

New mask studies relying on a medical paradigm do not erase decades of engineering and occupational science that show they work.

The straps of the goggles + the head strap of the are always a puzzle to calmly solve whenever I have to take off my mask for a second :') Figure out which straps are over which, fix it if need be, put everything back in and fix it again, then BREATHE again, ah.

So I just end up cutting my hair to a pixie, basically every time before flying, for convenience. Kinda sucks, but it makes a world of difference on the day.

From a risk perspective, wearing a is like seat belts & air bags in a car.

Seat belts mitigate a low probability high impact risk - car crash.

mitigate against transmission and infection.

Except infection is way more probable than a car crash.

As the 3rd leading cause of death it's way more impactful too. Add post viral harm in & is orders of magnitude riskier than a car crash.

You wear a seat belt right?

Then too.

work I used to refer to respirators as masks but now realise this leads to a lot of confusion. Respirators are better at filtering than masks, mainly due to their better fit at the edges and nose but also they typically have more layers which act to trap particles. They mostly are called FFP2 or 3 nut may be called KN95 or 99. This refers to the percent of particles they can stop. Respirators are capable of protecting from a large amount of virus present. Masks are not.

“The original Plain Language Summary for this review stated that 'We are uncertain whether wearing masks or /P2 helps to slow the spread of based on the studies we assessed.' This wording was open to misinterpretation, for which we apologize. While scientific evidence is never immune to misinterpretation, we take responsibility for not making the wording clearer from the outset.”

@novid He and his girlfriend slept in different rooms and, as previously stated, didn’t come into contact unless they were both donning correctly.

He used nasal spray with round the clock, plus mouthwash with .

He kept close track of his and recorded any possible symptoms/changes (which consisted of a small headache, probably more due to the stress of trying to stay when was in his personal space!).

@acepinecone

Do you mean the exhaustion valve?

those are safe for the but not for patients

KN99 & should be standard

airfilters & open windows, too

every should be tested for with calibrated tests

@Dianora @drjudymelinek It does hurt that people insist on ignoring the difference between paper or cloth exhaust-limiting masks and respirators (which in some cases protect exhaust as well, like many N95 models).

are effective.

They'll get my mask when they pry it from my cold dead face.
