Someone needs to do an explainer on the importance of a well-fitting air leak proof mask, especially w/lack of masking as the masses after 4 years are still not understanding basic step 1
Like any tool, if used improperly it can be dangerous or useless
Masks work if worn properly but unfortunately they are all less effective these days
(including N95) due to current variants being so hyper contagious
This chart was released w/ Omicron BA.1 & these estimated times are no longer close to correct which is why I suspect many who’ve been able to avoid infection to date have recently fallen ill for the first time
IMHO a mere N95 will get you about an hour in Covid saturated situations. I wear a mask & a #microclimateAir2
should I have to take the #NYC subway but an elastomeric works also
Ventilation matters
Iota carageenan nasal spray matters
HEPA matters
#Novavax x2 of updated booster helps too
for me it seems to have boosted my #immuneSystem
& buys me more time w/all the other mitigations mentioned
