Board 8 > What kind of face mask do you usually wear?

(+) Yeah! (+)

what kind?

Switched to KN95 when Omicron happened.

KN95 since August

Double mask

I am exempt from masks so I wear a face shield.

N95

KN95 for a while now

I've been using cloth with PM2.5 filters but I'm thinking of switching one of the 95 styles. Wary of buying fakes online though, not really sure how to tell if they're counterfeit or not.

This is the one I wear.

It has a space inside to insert filters and has literally been the only mask I could wear that wouldn't fog my glasses up.

Cloth for a long time

I got that under armour half gaiter one

I was doing cloth masks until April 2021. Switched up to neck gaiters after I became vaccinated for comfort and ease of use until 2022 when Omicron started exploding. Now I'm using KN95s and N95s.

Cloth plus surgical. I have ear problems, so the surgical ones suck, but not as bad as the KN95s.

You can buy directly from Honeywell or 3M or one of the other companies that makes the masks. They also sell them at hardware stores (Home Depot, Lowes, etc.)

I wear a cloth because it's the simplest.

I ordered some N95s a few weeks ago but by the time I get them we'll be past the surge. Oh well, not like masks go bad. Or that I'm going into super crowded places that it's going to make a difference. Or that I'm not vaxxed and boosted...

Cloth, special made with a wire to crimp it around your nose. Its pretty comfy

Gotta have that nose crimp

Used to love wearing the cloth masks, but my company changed it's policy to the surgical masks which stinks.

When I wear one, a cloth one. I wore N95s early in the pandemic.

I'm in Florida though and virtually nobody ever wears masks and hasn't for a long time. So I only wear one when it's required at this point. It's going to be so bizarre in years to come because my experience of COVID restrictions is going to be wildly different to basically everyone else in the states and especially my family back in England.

I am vaccinated but I have unsurprisingly (given Florida's stance, not an anti-vax stance) had COVID twice (June 2020 and Dec 2021). I probably got Delta too at some point but I didn't get a positive test for that like original and Omicron.

Was cloth, switched to KN95 recently.

Cloth, my mother made tons during the beginning, they're pretty thick and they tie in the back instead of going around the ears so you get to feel like a ninja turtle.
