People can protect themselves by staying indoors or by wearing #N95masks, she said. Strykowski added that they must be N95s because the cloth #masks many people used during the COVID-19 pandemic don’t provide enough #filtration.
[My additional advice: be sure to always carry your rescue #inhaler!! If you can use an allergy #filter on your HVAC system. Close your windows & use an indoor air filter machine.]

N95 Masks Nearly Perfect at Blocking COVID, UMD Study Shows
“Any common face mask provides significant protection against the virus that causes #COVID-19, but #N95Masks are most effective at slashing the amount emitted by infected people
So-called “duckbill” N95 masks scored highest in the study, which measured the exhaled breath of participants who were tested both masked and unmasked to measure comparative outputs of SARS-CoV-2.
The inexpensive masks, which have two head straps and a horizontal seam, captured 98% of exhaled virus, according to the study published in eBioMedicine”

Maryland Today | #N95Masks Nearly Perfect at Blocking #COVID, UMD… https://today.umd.edu/n95-masks-nearly-perfect-at-blocking-covid-umd-study-shows “The research shows that any mask is much better than no mask, and an N95 is significantly better than the other options. That’s the No. 1 message,..
The results also suggest that N95 masks, also known as #respirators, should be the standard of care in nursing homes and health care settings when respiratory viral infections are prevalent and transmission risk is elevated”

Great wrap-up of the current state of all things COVID-related (vaccines, variants, wastewater levels, masks, masking in healthcare, etc.), from the People’s CDC.

Another good one:
Please consider signing this petition urging CDC Director Mandy Cohen to acknowledge and advocate for a multi-layered (Swiss cheese) approach to preventing COVID. Let her know that the current “You do you” and vaccine-only approaches don’t cut it.

Hello, friends. Please consider signing this petition urging Congress, the White House, and HHS to provide free N95 masks by mail within the US. 😷

I just got Covid, this is a reminder to get your booster instead!And I’d say mask up in crowded spaces until you do
I almost definitely got it talking with people outside at a barbecue, or walking down a street at a not very tightly packed street festival
And I’d suggest #MaskUp with good #N95Masks (not just blue surgical masks or cloth with gaps)
In Canada, these folks sell mask samples so you can see which kind fits you best:

What doctors wish patients knew about wearing N95 masks
"In fact, N95 and KN95 masks were found to be 48% more effective than surgical or cloth masks, according to a CDC study. Wearing an N95 or KN95 mask reduces the odds of testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 by 83%. This is compared with 66% for surgical masks and 56% for cloth masks, further pushing the need to swap out such face coverings for an N95 or KN95 mask for protection from SARS-CoV-2."

Mask study: Results: We found significant effects in both medical surgical and N95 masks, with a greater impact of the second.
A systematic review of 2,168 studies that looked into the adverse effects of wearing masks during the COVID-19 pandemic has found that the practice led to negative health consequences, including itching, headaches, and restriction of oxygen.

@alx
Not a problem. Simple public health things, starting with educating the population, who currently think it's all over. Then free #N95masks for all indoor activities (other than own home, of course). Clean air is next - air purification in all government buildings, schools, etc, & subsidies for businesses. Finally, information about the absolute effectiveness of #COVID19 vaccines with real, accurate data. No need for lockdowns, nothing drastic. Simple, effective measures. -

@eco_amandine
Awesome!
I have materials to make mini #corsirosenthalboxes (Mi house is not too big)..
When working or shopping, I have upgraded from the initial cloth masks, and now I’m wearing #N95masks.
I’m my mother’s primary caregiver, and she has emphysema, so I rather stand out than take chances. -
Insane that we can’t be safe from Covid in the hospital and could die from this exposure in Canada. So many have . We need lawsuits this is going against precautionary principle to do no harm. Hospitals can’t pretend this isn’t airborne anymore !! Protect your workers and patients. #N95masks https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2022/05/11/Hospitals-Should-Not-Be-Place-To-Get-COVID/

How N95 masks really work.
"You might imagine N95 masks as essentially a strainer intended to catch small particles, but as Minute Physics shows in this video, what these masks do is actually much more clever."

The nurses had demanded #PPEs, #N95masks, humane working hours, free #COVID19 tests, drinking water, adequate quarantine facilities and health policies for #nurses working on COVID-19 duty. #Hamdardhospital @[email protected] https://www.nationalheraldindia.com/india/hamdard-hospital-fires-84-nurses-who-demanded-better-working-conditions-in-covid-19-wards
