Quantitative Fit Testing of high quality respirators on as many different faces as possible. [email protected] on Mastodon. Test data at https://t.co/QLnIg656Jhtexanalysis.com PNWJoined May 2023
Keys to effective masking: fit/seal and 99%+ filtering respirators w/ headbands.
Non-latex exercise loops can cover beards for a proper seal.
N95s can be reused til damaged, soiled, or not sealing.
Great N95s on Amazon:
Dräger 1950 Small
3M Aura 9210/9205/1870
3M VFlex 9105/9105s

We hear lots about Covid transmission at unmasked gatherings, but not enough about events where folks were successfully protected.
I coordinated a meetup during PAX West '23 which was deliberately held outdoors with free 3M VFlex N95s.
Covid was present, but didn't spread.

Your safer bet if you have not been fit tested is: a 3M Aura N95 respirator with red, blue or white straps or Drager 1950. The straps must go around your head. You wouldn’t want brakes that “sorta work”don’t wear a mask that “sorta” seals. 💨

I really don't love that this keeps needing to be an exciting announcement, but the Draeger 1950 Small is back in stock on US Amazon:
amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09WB6…
The turnaround to getting back in stock was faster this time, ~5 weeks instead of 7. Hopefully, a greater supply, as well.
@LazarusLong13@texanalysis@dreamy_run@vonnie700 So here is the experience I had at my appointment with my ophthalmologist yesterday, wearing a Draeger N95. First stop was a visual acuity test. The technician was wearing a well-fitting KN95 trifold (no visible gaps).
I want to offer a lifeboat to disabled and queer people worried about having a safe place to go if Twitter has outages soon. I know Mastodon has issues and isn't a perfect replacement, nothing is, but I can assure active moderation and welcoming folks at kind.social.
Welp... That was brief. 10 days for the Small to sell out & 11 for the M/L to hit 1 box left.
Maybe now Draeger will take it seriously when they're told that they need to be stocking way more of these. ~50 days to manufacture/ship/restock. 10-11 days to sell out. Need 5-6x more.
