Is this satire?
Sadly I would say no.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

I've got to love this. (didn't read the article, just the link). They will never give up on full and utmost control!
Reportedly stores in Yerushalayim have signs up specifying the need for a n95 or kn95 without a valve.
Quote or engagement  equals full throated endorsement and vote!

It is called understanding how masks work.  ;)
These are the type of N95 masks I had to wear.

It's called BS!

No one's enforcing what kind of face covering is worn or how it is worn, as long as you comply and have something there, no-one's going to really bother you.

I was wearing a face shield in shul after the local health inspector said it was fine and someone in shul kept complaining to me and made the local health inspector reverse her decision bc he "felt" it doesnt protect like a mask does

Ps. I've flown with the face shield and no one complained

Your intent doesn't change that he is absolutely correct that it does not work as well.

Well the local health inspector signed off on it, I calmly explained that to him and he still wasn't happy

The facts are the facts. It was not his feeling that were counterfactual but yours.

Are there any masks with "reverse" valves that lets you inhale unfiltered and fresh air and only filters out exhalations (droplets etc).

I'm asking as someone who:

- has a beard, so most masks won't really help protect me
- is low-risk
- has antibodies
- has a recent negative test
- only wears a mask when asked to (indoors within 6 feet, or on a plane etc).

This would let me breathe fresh air while protecting those around me on the slim chance that I have Covid...

I haven't seen any that say that. In any event they should be more focused on people who wear their masks as chin straps.
The only time I had a problem wearing a valve was when trying to enter hospitals.

not sure if this question belongs here,or in the "Deals Request" thread:
when people make cloth masks with a logo etc. on it. where can I get that cheaply for a small quantity. (3-20)
wither someplace that custom prints them, or perhaps to get the logo on some kind of (transparent) iron-on and put them on target's $2 masks

any leads?
