1/ SARS-Cov-2 is airborne and always has been.
Here's a quick 🧵 on where to find high-quality, made-in-America NIOSH-certified N95 masks that you may not know about.
Disclosure: I have no relationship with these companies, just an abiding interest in a secure, healthy USA.
2/ Indiana Face Mask Company.
Vertically integrated manufacturer that scaled up a new factory to ensure a secure supply of USA-made N95 masks. Quantity discounts available. Affordable.

3/ ReadiMask.
Maryland based company producing the only NIOSH certified, STRAPLESS N95 mask. They also make a version with an integrated face shield. If you want a FULL SEAL, then this is the mask for you.

7/ Prestige Ameritech - Progear N95
Another USA-made source, they have expanded from surgical masks to NIOSH-certified N95.
Very clear about sizing:
S -> head circumference less than 22 inches
Reg/Universal -> circumference 22-24 inches

8/ Gerson
Various models of N95 respirators from molded to duckbill style. I don't see a direct to consumer shopping option, but you can get them through Armbrust USA

9/ Advanced Concept Innovations
Surgical N95 respirator. Another one that doesn't seem to have a direct purchase option, but you can buy through Armbrust USA--box of 50 or case of 300.

10/ Armbrust USA
Last, but certainly not least, Armbrust USA started making surgical masks and is now offering N95 and KN95 masks.
They also act as a distributor for nearly all of the brands in this thread, and their mask testing database is excellent.

11/ Again, SARS-Cov-2 is airborne, so a high-quality mask, worn consistently, whenever you are around other people, regardless of vaccination status, and especially indoors, or in close proximity to others when outside, is the best way to protect yourself and others.
12/ After two years, we're all tired of the pandemic, and there's a lot of confusing information, anger, and grief.
But if we all pull together and #MaskUp we can break chains of transmission Let's do this. ❤️
