Fall COVID-19 surge: The best COVID masks for travel

Protect yourself against COVID-19 during fall travel. The CDC recommends everyone get the new COVID vaccine booster for fall 2023. Whatever you choose to do, your safest bet during travel is to wear an N95 mask, in combination with being vaccinated and boosted. These masks are designed to filter at least 95% of all airborne particles larger than 0.3 microns when worn correctly.

To ensure you have enough N95 masks for your upcoming trip, we've found some options. They're approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), which is key, as there are many counterfeit N95 masks for sale online. Fortunately, face masks are more affordable than they've been in the past, with COVID numbers declining.

Carolin, go wipe down a porta potty with your mask

These people simply will not give up!

I didn’t wear one before, I’m not starting now.

How About "NO"?

I have to fly for work next month. I have mild COPD and allergies so I’m steeling myself for the death looks every time I sniff, cough, blow my nose or clear my throat.

The first rule of the con game: Never give up the con.

They have to keep pushing it in our faces, lest the dwindling number of people still buying the scam finally get it through their heads that, something's not quite right about all this.

See Tagline.

I need to know which masks let the LEAST amount of oxygen in. /s.

Breathing oxygen is so overrated.

What’s wrong with these two statements??

N95 masks are designed to filter at least 95% of all airborne particles larger than 0.3 microns (μm) when worn correctly.

The size of SARS-CoV-2 ranges from 0.07 microns (μm) to 0.09 microns (μm).

I don’t know, could it be the mask has damn near ZERO CHANCE of filtering out a 0.07 micron (μm) virus particle? Kind of like chain-link fence stopping frozen peas????

Although wearing a mask will not, in any way, protect the wearer from catching, getting sick from or spreading a respiratory virus such as the Fauci Flu, but to the Left masking serves a most important purpose: it promotes unquestioned obedience among the irrationally fearful, irretrievably ignorant and unbelievably cowardly public.

Seeing masked people is a powerful -- a very powerful -- visual reminder that we're all just one cough or one sneeze or one spittle droplet away from CERTAIN DEATH!

I ran those numbers back in the fall of 2020. It was OBVIOUS that the N95 mask would not stop the virus particles. The best analogy I could find was a swarm of bees encountering a chain link fence. How many bees get stopped? Answer is practically none.

And this is with a FITTED N95 mask that is brand new. If it leaks anywhere around the edge, it is 100% completely worthless. Every bit of air breathed in will come through where it is leaking.

Masks do not stop viruses.

Shhhhhhhhhhhh, the SHEEP can’t do simple math.

Baaaaaa Baaaaaaa Baaaaaaa

[wgmalabama]

Higher overall mortality in vaxed vs unvaxed. Why is no one looking into that ?

[blackdog]

These are our news reporters. Think about that and simmer a bit on it.

[who knows what evil?]

Carolin with an ‘i’ to let everyone knows she’s ‘special’...

[maddog55]

It is fall so I’m sure the covid cultist face mask colors will be peak around late November.

[RetiredTexasVet]

The best mask would be a Clown mask ... advertise to the world that you are an easily manipulated fool.
