How #respirators actually work and which type is best?
I see many claims #masks don't work. This thread will explain *how* they block #viruses much smaller than the size of the holes in the #filter and why you can still smell nasty things while wearing effective masks. 🧵1/

This thread is long so if you would like an unrolled one page web view that is easier to read or share, look at this tweet to find the link more quickly ( ). 2/
One of the issues is that there are different types of masks that are designed for different purposes. Cloth masks and the common blue earloop procedure masks were never designed to protect people from airborne pathogens that hang in the air for extended periods of time. 3/
I want to share an analogy & call to #Hospitals to #ProtectHCWs. 2+ years yet hospitals leave workers open to PREVENTABLE death & disability. They need to held to task & REQUIRED to properly & fully protect their workers. Please join me & share this. #HCWs #Covid #LongCovid (1/3)
#HCWs DESERVE government protections, as do patients! It is unethical for them to continue to skirt proper air filtration & personal protective equipment MINIMUMS. @OSHA_DOL are you listening? #OSHA #P100 #respirators #Ventilate #HEPA #LongCovid #CovidIsNotOver #MaskUp (2/3)
Providing P100 respirators, increasing proper indoor air filtration, & testing workers regularly will help attract & retain staff. In addition to it being the RIGHT THING TO DO! Questions? Contact me #DoTheRightThing #LegislateProtection #ProtectHCWs #Nurses #ProtectRNs (3/3)

Teases out technical classifications of 'hi-fi' (high-filtration) masks such as N95s, KN95s or KF94s - and why cloth & surgical masks are not an option now.
Think '2022', not '1918'.

Sending a hug🤗 & a special shout out to @MerlinofCanada whom I’ve followed for a long time now.
He’s one of those special people who are instrumental in steering the #Covid19AB boat through @jkenney’s many predictable and preventable waves.

Secondly I’d like to apologize for taking so long to do this. I’d run the clock around the dial the night of my thread, it started pouring, I was emotionally spent & needed rest.

Pl retweet >> Ventilator, the lifesavers in #Covid19 epidemic r hugely in short supply. @sonalasthana is a leading surgeon @ Aster Healthcare, Bangalore. He's driving an effort into 3D printing of splitters to augment ventilator capacity👇

Splitters are a quick, simple way to 4X no of patients each ventilator supports. The designs are #opensource & they can be printed locally (remotely) by doctors & hospitals. Demo video
I along with @jboutelle @rashmi are supporting Sonal in his effort. /2
