10 Best Face Masks for COVID-19 in 2022 (Identifying and avoiding counterfeit masks),
Healhweek ^ | 7/22/22

Posted on 10/13/2022 12:20:30 PM PDT by DallasBiff

To ensure effectiveness, it’s important to buy authentic N95 and KN95 masks. Buy directly from the manufacturer’s website or a reputable site.

Markings are printed on respirators to show that they are genuine. N95, N99, N100, P95, P100 masks are the only types that have National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) approvalTrusted Source. They will have a certification mark and the term “NIOSH-approved”.

Make sure the masks are of high quality. Look out for loose straps or misalignment in terms of fit. Masks should not have decorative add-ons, such as sequins or tassels

A sign of the times. Met a friend at a local starbucks, it was a nice day and went outside to the patio, next to the drive thru and he noticed a lady driving alone in her car and was wearing a mask and basically said, WTF.

Virtue signaling dies hard.

Well, none of them work for CoupFlu.

But this is particularly hilarious...

“...authentic N95 and KN95...”

...because KN95s aren’t authorized for use in healthcare settings in the US since they don’t meet US safety standards.

I’ve been seeing more people wearing masks again. If you’re 80 something, I get it. But anyone else....come on! If we could stop viruses with a simple mask we would have been doing “masks” decades ago.

Does an N95 mask on it’s label state that it can stop viruses?

Make sure they have an authentic “made in China” label.

If masks work, how come they haven’t worked yet??

Any medical professional that recommends these masks for a respiratory virus should be SUED into Homelessness for Felony Malpractice

I read that Germany is having to burn almost a billion face masks that they had bought (from China). They actually called it “thermal recycling,” LOL!

Virtue signaling or maybe they were sensitive enough to covid hype to have developed a phobia.

You’ll note that 3M doesn’t make the claim it’ll filter out small virions.

I was at an event the other night where a woman came in and sat down at a table with a few others and then put on a mask. Then she started coughing so I am supposing that she was sick and didn't want to get anyone else sick because this was a mandatory event.

I appreciate that but she should have sat at a table by herself then with the mask on. People are not really making a lot of sense with their behavior.

Have these A-holes seen studies showing the effectiveness of masks against CCP-19?

They are made in the CCP anyway...

Here’s a 3M surgical mask....

Read the specs. It doesn’t filter out viruses.
