Did you buy a fake N95-equivalent mask from Razer? You may be entitled to a refund. The masks looked very cool and sold for $100 back in 2021.

Razer made a million dollars selling a mask with RGB, and the FTC is not pleased

Razer will have to pay $1.1 million in refunds to customers who purchased its $100 Zephyr face mask, which it claimed was N95 compliant.

Awesome. Another day at the office, another day that I am informed that I am a COVID close contact. F-ing A.

I watched this episode of Australian Story last night. It's quite incredible and I sincerely hope the treatments work for Prof Richard Scolyer. However, watching him undergo immunotherapy, surgery and other treatments, with not ONE #N95mask to be seen anywhere (the odd surgical mask doesn't count, sorry) made me so angry. What is wrong with these highly educated, intelligent people? If he had picked up #COVID19 along the way it would all be for nothing.

Richard Scolyer helped pioneer revolutionary melanoma treatment. Can it cure his brain cancer?

Professor Richard Scolyer's colleagues have designed a high-stakes experiment to fight his brain tumour, using the very treatment they pioneered for melanoma.

Covid is airborne.

The person you chatted with could have COVID-19 and not know it. You may spread it to others before you know you have it. Asymptomatic transmission is common.

What is the potential liability for your organization organizing a meeting with and without appropriate mitigation, warning or consent? Have you spoken with your insurance company about this or read the rider on your liability policy?

Everybody masked works.

From the outside today. I went out #maskedup in my #N95mask , I do not ever go anywhere without it now, even just outside for a walk. It stays on my face always.
Anyway, below is a photo of ornamental kale from lampton quay, and some tagging, one saying "love yourself"
And the other one saying "rent strike"

@[email protected] same reasons and so much more is why I take my #N95mask everywhere I go. I have a link to a shared doc by @[email protected] that last I checked had links to 275 studies on what SARS-CoV-2 does to the body.

@izzyamar I am in Ottawa, Canada, just south of the airport... Check out the air quality readings this morning via https://map.purpleair.com/1/mAQI/a10/p604800/cC0#9.24/45.3783/-75.7139

Looking outside I can see the smoke affecting viability within 300'. Definitely have to wear and #N95mask outside. Smoke is bad enough to irritate the eyes after a few minutes outdoors.

@TransitBiker 372ppm here in #Ottawa, #Canada. My eyes were tearing after being outside for a minute. #N95mask helps immensely with breathing.
