Many people are desperately afraid of “forever masking.”

I'm afraid of #COVID19 remaining a top five cause of death indefinitely.

I'm scared COVID will leave billions with lasting damage to their heart, brains, and immune systems.

I'm frightened that children infected three, four or nine times will have lifelong health issues.

I'm worried that a rapidly mutating virus could yet spin off a deadly new variant.

Why is it so hard to do something so simple to possibly save a life? #WearAMask

@augieray

I feel the same way. Masks aren't hard to wear people. Loss of health and life are hard.

@Snarkycounsel @augieray They underestimated the stupidity of people. They should have simplified it to terms stupidios could understand.

Do you want to wear a $1 mask for maybe one to several hours a day.

Or do you want to wear a humongous medical bill that will financially ruin you for life?

@Snarkycounsel @augieray

I'll take $1 mask for reducing my chance of getting financially ruin by a medical bill from getting covid and long covid.

@jd1515151 @augieray

You are so right. If the narrative changed and it was about money, they might just start paying better attention. Because we know they don't care about their fellow humans.

@jd1515151 @Snarkycounsel @augieray

A $1 mask isn't really very effective. We got some $10 3M N99 equivalent masks, and those are amazing - you can feel the suction at the edges.

If we're going to be ostracized, might as well do it in style. 😄

@TomSwirly @jd1515151 @augieray

I tried the 3M masks and they are like suction cups for your mouth. :) My go to though has always been the KN95. I have been wearing those since 2020. And escaped Covid both times my boss brought it to the office.

@Snarkycounsel @TomSwirly @augieray

I haven't had any problems with the Honeywell N95 masks.

@TomSwirly @Snarkycounsel @augieray

You can get Honeywell N95 masks on Amazon.com a box of 20 for $21. That is where the $1 figure comes from.

@jd1515151 @TomSwirly @augieray

I didn't know this. I've been overpaying. Thanks :)

@jd1515151 @Snarkycounsel @augieray Yes, or there are plenty of non-evil places to buy them from too, for just as cheap.

@TomSwirly

Where do you shop for inexpensive N95 masks?

@Snarkycounsel I live in the Netherlands, so we get things from local stories or bol.com - probably not good for you!!
