I don’t think anyone looking for N95s for COVID protection would buy masks with valves anyway.

I remember seeing some people wearing the vented ones. One news anchor that was interviewing people going to the beach was wearing a vented mask asking people if they thought it was safe. I hate people.

Face masks are most effective at reducing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 when the infected persons wear them.

I've made this comment elsewhere, but I do recommend wearing eye protection.

Also, the N95 and KN95 designators doesn't specify if there's a vent valve or not. Just get the ones without one. Any mask will still catch spit from coughs. If you're in a space that gets saturated, the room has ventilation issues and masks are unlikely to do much anyway. CO2 monitors can indirectly measure the saturated level. It's unhealthly to be in spaces like that, covid or not.

Who do you think I'm talking about? Trump was all around terrible. He wanted the virus to spread while he and his party thought it was killing black people more then white people.

My original comment was about my Biden friends who all flocked back to theaters then he signaled the "end" to the pandemic.

I haven't left the house. Does that count?

It's like once "their guy" gave them the ok, everyone started licking doorknobs again. Why couldn't we keep this "social distancing" thing going? I liked my personal space.

Today, any hardware store. The counterfeits were a bigger problem when demand spiked and manufacturing couldn't keep up. That being said, even a shitty counterfeit should block the spit droplets that the virus rides on.

Covid has taught me that we will not do enough, then complain that we did too much. I am not optimistic about things if this new strain is as bad as the first ones.

You also need to wear eye protection. Even just regular, prescription glasses showed a 30% reduction in infection rates. Masks don't protect if other people wont also wear them.

Even if 99 percent of Ayn Rand followers are fuckheads, Jimmy Wales's actions separate him of them.

And that's a huge red flag. If they thought so low of her work, they would have fired her.

Are we obligated to support a company they we dont like just because they're "job creators"?

It's also not like YouTube won't recommend you channels that you unsub from. I had to into a 3rd party channel blocker because it kept recommending me AvE even though I very much don't want to see that channel anymore.
