Why are there still people with cloth masks out there?
Also, I've been looking to upgrade my masks. I'm using a kn95 right now (I think the same kind Obiden is using in the comm banner). People on this comm have talked well of the 3M Aura but I don't like the elastic straps that go over your head; I have long hair. Is there anything you guys use that's more hearty than a kn but you either have it around your ears or (for long term) tie a bow behind your head?
I'd be kinda worried about counterfeits buying on amazon, tbh.
I ordered mine from Home Depot but they were almost double the price.
That's fair, but I kinda feel like that about everything nowadays.
yeah idk how much it matters. i read that the counterfeits don't come with the electrostatic something or other that makes them work. i don't normally care of something's authentic as long as it functions but this kinda stuff is out of my expertise.
lol, so now I'm super paranoid.😅
Yeah there's some goofy physics going on in the masks. It's not just a sieve. I thought that was cool as hell when I learned about it.
I get mine from Uline. It costs, but if Uline has fallen there is no hope for Western Civilization™ 🗽
From what I was reading counterfeits were being found all up and down the supply chain. Even from official distributers. Apparently it was a real issue for a while. I'm not sure if it is now though. There was also a bunch of FEMA supplies and other similar org PPE that was dumped onto the market for cheap. So I'm not sure if I should be worried or not. But like I also wanna buy HEPA filters so I can DIY a 3d printed room purifier, and I'm not sure if I should go with a good deal I can afford or put myself out there for the higher priced stuff that's likely coming from the same supplier in china.
