      1/ A short & friendly thread on masks for NYE To start, the mask that we were all supposed to have from 2008 that isn't in production anymore for unclear reasons. It was replaced by bandannas when no one was paying attention. I present: The 3M 8670Fhttps://twitter.com/AbraarKaran/status/1476673083905699849?s=20 …

      So there was a respirator FOR THE PUBLIC for emergencies such as a PANDEMIC by 3M from 2008 How in the hell did CDC recommend cloth masks for this long instead of pushing the federal government to scale up production for every single American immediately 2 years ago????? pic.twitter.com/WrHj8goXW9

      2/ Next we have the 3M 1870+ If you're a healthcare worker and you can get fit tested for this, do it. You can work out in this. You can scream at the CDC in this. You can do basically anything in this. @CDCDirector you gotta try this one.https://twitter.com/AbraarKaran/status/1475248779649421313?s=20 …

      Wore this for most of the day in indoor public spaces, including indoor exercise— very comfortable, breathable, & felt completely reassured that I could carry on with minimal risk of infection. https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/v000125630/ … pic.twitter.com/qA1OMJtT77

      3/ Then we have the cousin of the 1870+ the 3M 9205+ This is the mask that shockingly has been hiding at your local Home Depot but that could have been your go-to for the past 2 yrs Seems like the 8670F in disguise We can blame Home Depot (or the CDC)https://twitter.com/AbraarKaran/status/1476343891594940418?s=20 …

      The 3M 9205+ is one of my favorite N95 masks. Extremely comfortable & available at Home Depot as @DavidLKeating pointed out in a recent thread. Upgrade your masks #BetterMasks #covid19 pic.twitter.com/gxeeAMIITx

      4/ Next we have the notorious 3M 1860 hardshell Has ruined many a healthcare workers nose-bridges I'm pretty sure @CDCDirector has had to wear this one. Agreed- not the most comfortable (although neither is a ventilator but anyways)pic.twitter.com/RjcY06pGXE

      5/ Now we come to the GVS N99 As @j_g_allen pointed out in his recent thread--for the N95 die-hards, why stop there? But 99 isn't 100 you say? Read on.https://twitter.com/AbraarKaran/status/1475737073873133568?s=20 …

      Another mask that I have used in the past & found to be very comfortable & breathable— the GVS N99 (NIOSH approved); this I know is available on Amazon. https://www.gvs.com/en/catalog/segre-mask-n99 … pic.twitter.com/QKpuf16K7c

      6/ Last but not least-- you can go into the new year in style with the GVS P100. If this thing can't stop Covid, nothing can. Honestly, may also double as a Halloween costume or at least keep people '6 feet away' (not a real thing but w/e) Ignore the basil in the backgroundpic.twitter.com/ntutWZIVMj
