A surprise work lunch appears. You don't *have* to go, but it's awkward if you don't. You have been wearing an #N95 at work for over a year.

In light of teriffs and the rumor that #NOISH is shutting down, may I recommend Envo Masks from NH should we be unable to get masks we know are real?
They impressed me when they started offering the plug for the exhale valve and I didn’t want to buy a whole pack of them, so I wrote to them and asked them if I could purchase just one or two since the early versions didn’t have them, and they sent me a couple for free.
Oh and we don’t have sales tax here (NH USA). I don’t remember if they have to charge you if you do.

The US Is currently Reporting Over 500 Covid Deaths Every Week
Do you experience significant sensory difficulties relating to clothes? Do you, despite that, consistently wear masks to protect yourself from COVID, which is still not over?
Share which #N95-or-better masks you've found to be comfortable for long-time wear. Pictures/links are a bonus.
I've seen more and more people online drawing, painting or putting stickers on #N95 #FFP2 #facemasks. Does anyone know if this affects their filtering ability? My gut instinct is that inks and glues would have an effect, but I have no data to back that up

A coworker is starting radiation for cancer and is concerned about getting sick because they’re not allowed to take vitamin C for the duration.
Meanwhile I’m sitting in the Zoom in an #N95, as I have been for the past year+. But I just wear it for fun, of course. #WearAMask

Good phrase, I like it!
I had a boss who commented on me wearing an #N95 mask, that they thought it was good that everyone at our workplace could do about covid what they felt comfortable with.
Like it was just a personal choice.
Hella a thing to say!
I never have a fast comeback. But I wish I'd said,
"Sure, just like some prefer safety belts and airbags. Some like the trip through the windshield. It's just a personal choice!"

FactCheck.org · RFK Jr.’s Faulty Advice On Bird Flu - FactCheck.orgIn recent news appearances, Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has suggested allowing bird flu to spread in poultry flocks unchecked. Scientists say that's risky because it gives the virus more opportunities to replicate, increasing the chance it could change to spread easily among humans.
