“Perhaps the plastic bands can dry rot. But in a jam, that can be fixed”

Yep I have a small stash of about ten N95 masks. They are about 12 years old. They have been kept in the garage in a seldom opened locked cabinet. I inspected them last week and the elastic bands are iffy. I carefully stretched a few and the rubber discolored, a sure sign they don't have a lot of time left before they disintegrate.

“Michelle Malkin sold HotAir ten years ago. It is now owned by pseudo-conservative media empire Salem Communications”

Michele started up Twitchy, apparently with Salam Communications money, so they haven’t completely sold out.

Her take down of Juan Williams on one of the Fox Cable shows about five years back was epic and spelled the end of her days as a paid Fox News Contributor.

Here is one of Michele’s most recent tweets. Got to love her.

“Have you noticed those preaching loudest that “We’re all in this together” are Hollywood celebs in multi-million-dollar mansions, corporate CEOs, & Open-Borders Swamp creatures who live & play by different rules & standards than the rest of us? NO, we’re NOT all #InItTogether”

What matters is the filter media.

That $5 price tag answers the question of why these mask have just now been found and why it was SEIU and not the government that did the finding.

I have a tiny inkling that the SEIU will be out of these masks and get no money for them.

The f***ing aholes.

Our nurses wear trash bags because our leaders were too shortsighted and slovenly to stockpile PPE before a pandemic broke out.

Spoken like a natural-born slave, waiting and expecting other to wait for orders from Der fuhrer before taking any precautions or any activity whatever.

“I have some that have been in my garage since the obunghole 2009 epidemic and the elastic is still good.”

Same here, mine also date back to 2009 (as a paranoid prepper, I put dates on everything). I also have new ones from January. I can’t tell the difference.

Real N95 masks have an electrostatic charge built into the fabric. It dissipates over time. Storage conditions can make it dissipate faster.

The version at #43 looks better than the 5-minute DIY version, but both do the same job.

What really counts for max effectiveness is the electrostatically-charged HEPA cloth, but even woven cotton is better than just breathing in the invisible exhaled infected floating CV specks you can't see.

Betcha a team of Navy SEALs could get them for free, along with the SEIU’s lunch money...

And leave the SEIU's leadership with atomic wedgies and stuffed in a bunch of middle school lockers.

Would double sided strips of Velcro work as retainer straps?
