I have to travel soon via airline for the first time in two years. I am debating with myself about whether to try some N95’s I have, or go with ASTM Level 3 masks that will fit better. I was leaning toward trying the N95’s while in the airport and on the aircraft, but now I’m thinking it would be smarter to wear the Level 3 surgical masks to make sure the fit is better.
I’m fully vaccinated, but because I have to be around other people while traveling (the purpose of my trip is to visit my 88-year-old father and other family), and after traveling when I come back home, I wouldn’t think of being in public without a mask on, to help protect others in case I’m infected, and to help prevent from being infected myself. The Delta+ variant of the virus is much more easily transmitted than the previous variants, and almost all the current infections in the USA are Delta+.
These, in black! I have 3 in use, washable (for around 50 times). I have 2 not used yet! Máscaras / MO Online | Moda para Mulher, Homem e Criança. Celebramos a família!
They fit more or less in the social mask category but they have been developed and tested by the Institute of Molecular Medicine. Quoting and translating from the site:
I was/am (pleasantly) surprised if not amazed that no one yet got shouted down with “you’re murdering babies and old people with your selfishness!” and that kind of thing.
Wow, we’re actually wearing our big-boy pants! I got my dose of warm-fuzzies now.
Wouldn’t it be kewl to get a Lord Humungus mask, to act as both mask and face-shield, and look so kewl, too!
Why was he making those fishy faces, though? Couldn’t breathe?
I had (probably still have… somewhere) a Myers/Kirk/Shatner mask that I was gonna wear for a Hallowe’en bash æons ago. Man, it was stifling. Couldn’t wear it for more’n a few minutes straight.
