I started to write "I realize this only affects a handful of you..." Then I stopped myself because it really affects *EVERYONE*!

I realize only a handful of you actually #MaskUP and care about this...

But this is pretty unsettling.

"NIOSH certification of #N95 masks will shut down in June if Trump admin actions are not reversed at HHS."

If you want to fight fascism, ableism and eugenics while also protecting your health… the best thing you can do is wear a well fitted mask like an N95

They’re excellent at stopping the spread of Covid & other airborne diseases

Unsure how to choose one? Want to learn about mask blocs & fit testing?

I wrote all about respirators in the article below:

@jbond @jik @robert I have read many of the new COVID vaccines and boosters too have a hard time keeping up with variants BECAUSE so many fewer people are is trying to reduce the evolutions and slow the spread of resulting variants (we could make those vaccines more effective longer, by masking), which is important and recommended for everyone right now. It's how we could flip these trends and the immune harms and organ damage that's been disabling all sorts of people. #MaskUp #N95

A surprise work lunch appears. You don't *have* to go, but it's awkward if you don't. You have been wearing an #N95 at work for over a year.

Do you:

In light of teriffs and the rumor that #NOISH is shutting down, may I recommend Envo Masks from NH should we be unable to get masks we know are real?

They impressed me when they started offering the plug for the exhale valve and I didn’t want to buy a whole pack of them, so I wrote to them and asked them if I could purchase just one or two since the early versions didn’t have them, and they sent me a couple for free.

Oh and we don’t have sales tax here (NH USA). I don’t remember if they have to charge you if you do.

I've seen more and more people online drawing, painting or putting stickers on #N95 #FFP2 #facemasks. Does anyone know if this affects their filtering ability? My gut instinct is that inks and glues would have an effect, but I have no data to back that up

A coworker is starting radiation for cancer and is concerned about getting sick because they’re not allowed to take vitamin C for the duration.

Meanwhile I’m sitting in the Zoom in an #N95, as I have been for the past year+. But I just wear it for fun, of course. #WearAMask
