I saw a guy in a full on bulky mask the other day. Filled me with solidarity.
I'm stuck on KN95s due to availability and price.
Lol, nice!
Might wanna see if you've got a mask bloc local to you. Some of them are giving away n95s.🤞
Hi comrade, I used to think I couldn't do better than a KN95 due to availability and price, but then I learned about elastomeric masks! I got a reusable P100 elastomeric mask that fits my face better, seals better, and fits better than the cheap KN95s I was getting, all for only $5 more than a one-month supply of KN95s. I only have to replace the filters on my elastomeric once very few month, at about $15 / replacement pack. It's much cheaper and is more protective. I'd recommend you look into finding an elastomeric respirator that will fit your face.
Do you have any specific ones to recommend? None of the options I've seen are even close to the same price, let alone cheaper. I'm very low income so I can't really afford anything more expensive, or anything that requires a large up front payment like a reusable mask seems to be.
Yeah this is the best one I was able to find for my face size (pretty small). Note the sizing chart at the bottom of the listing as there are two sizes: "Small/Medium", and "Large". https://www.amazon.com/GVS-SPR644-Elastomeric-Professionals-Replaceable/dp/B095YBV2T9. $27 before taxes and shipping. I think this one is the small/medium but Amazon's listings seem to have gotten even shittier since I last used it and that information isn't as clearly listed now.
ohh, my ears are going to thank you. the KN95s hurt them after awhile.
Thanks comrade
Those cost AU$65, so I'll keep it in mind but won't be able to get one for a bit. $65 digs into my paying bills and eating budget a smidge
There are dozens of us still masking! Dozens!
I haven't gone inside a building since spring of 22
you mean '20, right?
just went on vacation, drove from CA to Alberta and then back again.. first time we've not worn masks basically anywhere -- partner's parents are done with the masking and while they don't tell us not to it does make it seem pretty pointless since we were going to be sharing a car and hotel rooms for 2 weeks straight
luckily none of us got sick, but now that we're home again my partner is insisting everyone mask up everywhere we go again
she's so strong
