We really need to make vaccine selfies a thing again because only 3% of people in the US have gotten their COVID booster vaccine so far this season.

@luckytran I got mine at the end of September and took a selfie! (The bandaid says "flu fighter," but it was definitely a COVID shot.)

@kcarrandale Please tell me more about this mask!

@ARandomPotato It's a GVS Elipse (source control model)! It has p100 filters (an upgrade from disposable n95s), and I've found breathability and speech clarity to be very good! It could be more comfortable, but I mostly use it for medical appointments which are relatively short.

@kcarrandale @ARandomPotato
I bought it too and had a very different experience. If I could have a do over I'd get it with the exhaust valve. Within 20 minutes on a flight there was more than a teaspoon of liquid in there. Had to swap out to an N95. Not for all day use.

OTOH, I intimated everyone in Gotham even though they couldn't understand what I was saying.

@PizzaDemon @ARandomPotato Ah yes, unfortunately the source version does collect water! I should have mentioned that. I still opted for this version because I'd heard it was less muffled, and in medical settings I don't mind getting damp for the sake of source control.

If I had to travel by plane, I'd definitely opt for something more comfortable that has a valve. Maybe a 3M disposable p100? Or Honeywell North 7700...
