We need a permanent free N95 mask program. N95s protect against multiple health threats including COVID and bad air quality. Every person should be able to have N95 masks sent to their house free of charge, or be able to pick up free N95s from a local community center.

@luckytran Can I plead with you to stop advocating for the barely-adequate solution and start advocating for the much better in every respect solution, which is elastomerics?

More comfort, less expense, less waste, more effective, and yet the focus cannot be shifted from N95s. It's kinda disturbing at this point.

Or, you know, choices. Personally I'd like to have a choice in tests as well. But 10 N95s or an elastomeric could be a checkbox.

Oh and for the love of god give them out based on something besides actual physical home address. Large families still only get 4? Couch surfers, homeless in a tent, hotel living, RV traveling, people who only have PO boxes, heck now that I think of it, elderly living on cruise ships is a thing. None of them qualify for the free tests. It's very very privileged, the free test thing.
