I hate to tell you this, but you need to step up your pandemic precautions, upgrade your mask, and reduce potential exposures. More contagious variants are here, and one of them in particular is moving fast.nytimes.com/2021/01/19/wel…
@YouAreLobbyLud @AlboMP Dear inventors: I'd also like a simple device that can be worn around a KN95 or similar and pull the margins close onto the skin. You would sell thousands. Please do it.
Cloth and surgical masks don't cut it against omicron. But what if that's all you can find? cnet.co/3Fs53RA
@caruzycki @CPita3 @FixTheMask @armbrust_usa @masknerd tested Armbrust & 8 other surgicals with FixTheMask; Armbrust, MaskLab and Zubrex passed the N95 standard, the rest did not. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
What's frustrating about the masks issue-- if the head of the CDC is still saying that respirators are too uncomfortable for most people (again, not true; some models may be, others not), shouldn't a big priority be to solve this rather than rely on it as a reason for inaction?
Great interview @AbraarKaran! Exactly what CDC ought to be saying but instead recently on PBS CDC director recommended “two-layer cotton masks” w/o electrostatic filters. Yet Dr. Fauci + @CDCDirector were on TV the other day w/ @POTUS wearing N95. nymag.com/intelligencer/…
@AndrewCheung88 First, we haven't seen a sizing protocol for KN95s or KF94s, if you know of one please send it our way! Second, the KN95 we used only came in one size. We had our all our subjects use a Large KF94 because that size mask shifts less during the exercises. i.e. they fit better.
If you don’t already own a good 😷 (N95/KN95/KF94) that fits well & is comfy enough to keep on, get off Twitter NOW & buy some. Non-profit @projectn95 is affordable, helpful, & vetted. Until you get them, surgical 😷 + cloth 😷 over it indoors in public immediately. #Omicron
