A masked Fish at the IKEA.
I stg having the right mask really does make a difference. I was in the main part of the house for the last few hours and practically forgot I had the mask on even after I went back to my room.
It’s the Optrel p.Air, btw.

...and Swiss company Optrel makes an incredibly comfortable mask, soft, face-fitting mask that has protected me since the jump. Still a #NOVID.
All I can say is I'm glad I knew a few welders in 2020.

I like these Swiss-made Optrel clear-fronts personally, they’re pretty pricey (I snagged some leftovers from a conference) but they fit well!

Lots of people say they don't mask up at LARPs because they need to be able to see expressions and communicate clearly. Great news: Optrel has a mask for that. They're in the process of getting NIOSH re-approval, but once that's done they'll be N95s again. optrel.us/product/p-ai...

Our tiny disciple of Nurgle just barged into my bedroom, hacking up a storm.
It’s so hard when kids are sick bc you feel so bad for them, & they don’t totally get what’s going on.
But also this is why I sleep with an Optrel mask to hand.

Could Optrel, Swiss makers of soft comfy n95s and Biobot @biobotanalytics.bsky.social team up to make mask w/ a weekly wastewater metrics design big enough for those people w/ questions to see from a few feet away, please?
I'd buy three months worth today.

When the young man
entered the elevator
he stood for a moment
staring
at my masked face,
and though it looked
like he was about to speak
the other person
standing in the elevator
began to cough loudly
and after that
the young man decided
to wait for the next elevator.

Do clear face masks work?
I tested 4 clear panel face masks with a fit testing machine to see if they fit and filtered as well as a regular N95. The results were mixed, but one mask stood out to me, the Optrel P.Air Clear.

Is that the Flow mask? How's it been working out for you so far?
I've been sticking to Optrel N95's but I'm curious if it's worth upgrading from them.

Am I crazy or are there better n95s now that are softer, more form fitting with need no fit test?

Yep.
I worked my way through vogs (which I had for smoke reasons before the pandemic started) & regular n95 respirators & masks with cleanable braces & the Envos & the Flos & eventually landed on the Optrel p.air n95 masks as my optimal safety x comfort mask.
