Wellbefore quietly released adjustable head strap masks in several colors, here is a quick review!

I purchased these myself, not a sponsored post. Image
I purchased these in pink, green and khaki, they are also available in marble. Image
Image
They have foam in the nose and the top and bottom straps adjust individually. The strap material is very soft and smooth, whether that is good or bad depends on your hair and your preferences. Image
The face shape feels similar to an Aura, but the adjustable head straps are great if the aura straps are a little big on you or loosen too much with time. Image
The front panel is not as stiff as the Aura, so they tend to scrunch pretty easily which I dislike.

I wore one of the Wellbefore masks for several hours last night, and this wasn’t really bothering me, like it wasn’t touching my mouth or face. Image
What did bother me last night was that the smooth straps slide down on my smooth hair, and after awhile this made my ears hurt.

The fit still felt fine, but one of the reasons I don’t do ear loops is because I don’t like the ear pain if it is tight enough to get a good fit.
I also found I need to be more careful when taking the mask off 😂 I did it one-handed in a hurry, and the adjustable rubber part of the bottom strap came flying off because I let it stretch out too much 🤦🏻‍♀️
These are tested to the KN95 standard, not the N95 standard. I am eager to see how they perform in independent testing.
These seem like a really great option for people who want head strap masks that coordinate with their outfits, or who have been having trouble finding a head strap mask that fits well.
For me personally, I’ll probably stick with the Makrite and Aura N95 masks as my go-to masks, but I’m thrilled to have this new option when I’m in the mood to care about how I look.

I hope @WellBeforeHQ releases these in black soon!
Link here, if this does not work, you go to the Wellbefore site ➡️ KN95 ➡️ 3D Pro ➡️ Then switch to the adjustable head strap model.

I put all of the 2025 USA measles cases into a spreadsheet and came up with 250 cases (the CDC weekly update lags a bit).

Link in next tweet and summary to follow...
The case counts are primarily driven by the West Texas/NM outbreak, which accounts for 228 of the 250 cases.

This is the second largest outbreak in the US since 1992, if we count all of the cases among the NY/NJ Orthodox Jewish community in 2018-19 as one outbreak.

The last person to die from measles in the US was Catherine Montantes, a fully vaccinated 28-year-old who contracted measles at a doctor’s office

She was immunosuppressed due to treatment for dermatomyositis

Universal masking in healthcare likely would have prevented her death
Measles is a respiratory virus.

Measles is extremely contagious among the unvaccinated, but NPIs like masking, ventilation and filtration reduce the risk of spread.
The measles vaccine works really well for most people.

Last year only 4% of cases of measles in the US were in people who had two documented doses of MMR, and of those cases, most were in people who had a high level of exposure.

A 2018 video from the CDC on how to clean norovirus recommends wearing a mask.

A 2017 blog post does as well.

But their current pages on noro make no mention of masks 🤷🏻‍♀️ Image

Current norovirus info from CDC: cdc.gov/norovirus/prev…
Did more evidence come out that norovirus does not spread in the air?

No, literally the opposite is true.

Let’s see how things are going in Mycoplasma pneumoniae land this weekend…

First up we have a NICU nurse who had a baby in the NICU acutely and rapidly decompensated.

Infectious disease asked if it was a false positive. Rare to see infants severely affected.
This mom’s story echoes many other parents whose sick kids are still being blown off as having viral infections and not being given x-rays.

Lots of adults being diagnosed with mycoplasma pneumoniae as well.

Another parent posting because their child had pneumonia but the lungs sounded clear and the parent had to fight to get an x-ray and diagnosis.
Another parent with the same story, had to push for a chest x-ray which confirmed pneumonia.

A parent’s perspective on the “weird pneumonia” that is going around following the summer Covid wave.

It sounds like her daughter had a respiratory panel, tested positive for rhino/entero (and presumably negative for everything else).
“Fever, fatigue. No cough. Lungs “sound clear” but x-ray shows pneumonia. I know SO many other kids and families with pneumonia right now. ”

“We’ve been seeing TONS at my ER. This summer has been filled with pneumonia patients.”
“Yes I’m a pediatric nurse and I got mycoplasma pneumonia back in July had a 105 fever. We have had kiddos in the ICU it’s very bad rn”

“yes my 2yr old are just got over it. she was on prednisone and Azithromyacin and nebulizer. Cough lingered for awhile.”
