I think it’s time to revisit masking with #BA2 & how contagious it is. I am upgrading my recommendations to a P100 @3M respirator. They are less likely to suffer structural damage, meaning I have had them in use for 1 year at a time. That 100 is for 100% an N95 is 95% blocking

Note do NOT use @amazon they have a huge issue with #CounterfeitMasks. The @US_FDA doesn’t seem to be doing their job & cracking down while Bezos lounges on his yacht. I have samples of counterfeit 3M masks I bought off of Amazon. I confirmed with 3M DIRECTLY. So this is serious

This isn’t hearsay but actually provable. Amazon hides behind “tHeY aRE iDepEnDanT coTrAcTOrS” while they rake in that sweet pandemic cash. I recommend you order from @HomeDepot as they buy directly from 3M. I wish I had a better solution. #MaskUp #P100Masks #CovidIsNotOver

Note my “Care & Feeding of N95 Masks” still applies. Buy spare filters to allow them to dry between use. I recommend 3-5 days in a dry room out of direct sun (UV damages the filter). #BeSafe #COVID19 #BA2variant @CDCgov you paying attention? History will remember your (in)action

@DrEricDing you may want to warn people of the counterfeit masking issue. It’s disgusting!
