Today's a great day to remember that, if you need a doctor's note to wear a mask at work:

All of these families had Covid show up AT HOME, with one family member - and infect no one else.
And all of them had #CorsiRosenthalBoxes at the heart of their #CleanTheAir plan.
Now? A new thread to help weave this tapestry of #CleanAir with #HEPA.

I've been trying to explain this for two years now. N95s were designed primarily for male caucasian faces. KN95 and KF94 standards came about not because we wanted a knockoff mask standard, but because Asian faces could not pass fit tests with N95 masks.
Home fit testing kit!
Faces come in different shapes. (For example, most well-rated N95s leak at my nose and don't fit my cheekbones. Oft-maligned ear loop Kf94s fit me perfectly, and pass fit tests.) How to fit test masks at home:

Pandemic-aware friends, #disabilityTwitter, #StillCoviding folks: drop links to Discords, spaces, Zoom meetings & other virtual meetups for those still trying to avoid Covid. It's a surreal time, and a lot of folks have abandoned or (like me) taken a break from Twitter.

It's not just avoiding Covid, it's avoiding it long enough for your doctor to actually look at some of the research about long-term effects. I am stunned by the incuriosity (and hostility!) displayed by several friends' PCPs when asked about possible cardiovascular/brain risks.

Thread So all this BS about there being no RCTs proving mask effectiveness are lies.
A) A proper RCT is impossible, and B) an RCT that tested "being forced to wear a respirator, but only at work" vs "up to you" showed respirators meaningfully reduced infection.
