      Months ago @CDCgov pushed for double-masking instead of N95-caliber masks in part citing how hard it is to breathe through the latter Turns out, the data suggests N95s are more breathable Wish data like this were sought before making sweeping public recommendationshttps://twitter.com/sri_srikrishna/status/1444096654391472133 …

      Devabhaktuni "Sri" Srikrishna @sri_srikrishna
      Is N95 easier to breathe in than a double-mask? Peer-reviewed study (2021) says double-mask (surgical mask + cotton mask) has *higher* pressure drop than even adding a surgical mask on top of an N95. @RanuDhillon @AbraarKaran @KatherinePasem1 @imaspaseman https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/5.0058571 …

      Not just more effective and more comfortable and breathable, much less likely to fog your glasses. I don’t get it. We have HEPA standards, but schools are buying ionizer blah blah. We have well-designed good masks, people are double-masking—much less comfortable and more ad hoc.

          If your n95 is "comfortable and breathable" it's not fitted correctly

          Most people double mask because it's cheaper...

          Seriously, your mask obsession just needs to stop. We are not going to become a country of masked people. Maybe some blue cities where the weirdos live will be perma-masking, but the rest of us do not like them and will not continue to wear them. It's not about comfort.

          Public health folks were terrified of n95 mask hoarding by the public. But, then the prior administration just enabled mask hoarding & profiteering by insiders & middlemen. Sopic.twitter.com/qwHFKTNisT

          ...my PT got infected, presumably while wearing cloth over surgical. I started seeing her during the low point and didn't really think about how prior PT had n95 under surgical.

          Why is the discussion always thick, headstrap N95 vs (mostly useless for the wearer) cloth/surgical masks, double or otherwise?? KN95s and KF94s are very comfortable, easy to breath in, and very effective.

          Yep, I've never had the glasses fogging issue with either my N95 masks or the pollution masks I have from when I lived in Vietnam, because they're actually designed to seal properly. None of the commercially available fabric masks in the US are.
