      Why aren't we wearing better masks? Last April, we—19 experts―wrote paper on why cloth masks were a good stop-gap measure for COVID. It's just been published in PNAS. Great but... @jeremyhoward and I wrote about our frustration that it's still relevant! https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/01/why-arent-we-wearing-better-masks/617656/ …pic.twitter.com/3eoia1B3Ue

      These are not dumb questions. Rather than me eyeballing, I would like the CDC & the FDA to provide certification on multi-layer cloth masks, use/reuse guidance on N95s or other higher-grade masks for the public and for the government to distribute them,https://twitter.com/jdanton/status/1349381401808941060 …

      Dumb question—how long should a normal person reuse an N95? Infrequent use 2/3x week for like an hour at a time.

      Three representatives—one a 75-year-old cancer survivor—were infected, likely by GOP reps who refused to wear masks in shelter. Were they wearing only cloth masks? Irresponsible people means it's even more important to supply better masks to everyone else. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/01/why-arent-we-wearing-better-masks/617656/ …pic.twitter.com/dFW0BXFtSf

      Every time I write about higher-grade masks, I'm flooded with questions. Where to buy legit ones? How many times/how to reuse? Which cloth masks? This can't be up to following the right experts on Twitter! We need official manufacture, certification, guidance and distribution.

          zeynep tufekci Retweeted Chiral Galaxy

          It's a sign of how terrible our guidance and policies have been, even at the top. If our healthcare workers are wearing N95s, why aren't our legislators—many of whom are over 70—also wearing them? Because they aren't being advised to.https://twitter.com/RobotPliers/status/1349414577876967424 …

          Whenever I see a picture of a member of Congress wearing a cloth or basic surgical mask I just... Obviously they shouldn't get special treatment, but given that they clearly have the money and resources to buy N95, KN95, or even N100 "painter's masks," why don't they? https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1349387848697446402 …

          See what Sen. Romney is wearing while enduring Sen. Hawley's flimsy excuses on why he's voting to overturn legitimate elections? (Hawley says people the president lied to with Hawley's support are now concerned!) That's an N95 or KN95 under the cloth mask.https://twitter.com/ORMorrison/status/1347005155158405121 …

          Is the availability of these masks to medical professionals still restricted enough that we can't recommend that people upgrade without causing supply issues?
