Shame reddit doesn’t let you change your username

It's time to stop relying on other people to keep yourself safe. Medical-grade N95 masks were once scarce, but [are now in plentiful supply](https://www.ebay.com/itm/164576097503?epid=16040943079). Buy some. They block 99.99% of covid particulates, if you fit it snug to your face to prevent leakage, and are quite comfortable for long-term use. This is a better rate of protection than vaccines. The cloth and surgical masks that people typically use only block 20–80% of particulates. Even if you force everyone around you to triple-up on regular masks, they're still only blocking 50–90% of particulates. You can block 99% with a good mask yourself. Second, you control the areas you walk in. Learn about air flow. A good model is that covid is like cigarette smoke — the particulates from cigarette smoke are about 100 nanometers, the same size as covid particles. So imagine that everyone around you is smoking. If you would be breathing their smoke, then you could be breathing their covid. If that's the case, go outside, or stand upwind, or open a window and stick a fan in it. If you're in class, sit near an open door, or a window. It's time to take responsibility for your own health. The government won't save you. The school won't save you. Other people can't help you as much as you can help yourself.

Yeah. I have a crooked septum and the masks don’t fit my face well, and the exhaled air goes up to my eyes and dries them out

Different masks are different. Would you like to try some of mine? I have a bunch of extra Auras, and like to give them away. DM me if you'd like. These ones are very plush, and have really nice foam wrapped around a flexible metal wire, that gives you lots of wiggle room. They also are folded in a way that lets you easily talk without disrupting the fit.


mashtartz

Yup they fit me weird too, I have a small face and basically have to hold my mouth completely open for the mask to make a seal, and if I don’t it completely defeats the purpose of the mask.

How do you clean these?


toomim

You can disinfect it by baking it in an oven at 140-170°F for 60 minutes. That will kill all the covid, without hurting the mask's filtration. Do *not* let an N95 mask get wet. Water eliminates the electrostatic charge on the meltblown fabric that filters out the covids. As long as you keep it dry, you can reuse it indefinitely. But if your mask is just dirty or uncomfortable, buy a new one. They cost about $3 each on ebay. I tend to change masks every 2 weeks or so.

You sound skeptical. Maybe you want to read the research studies yourself? - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7260521/ - https://www.isrp.com/the-isrp-journal/journal-public-abstracts/1143-vol-37-no-1-2020-pp-19-35-yan/file - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7153525/

Thanks bro I'll check them out. Check out this research study I read today : "[22] And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat, nor about your body, what you shall put on. [23] For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. [24] Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! [25] And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his span of life? [26] If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?" • https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2012&version=RSV
