and takes a few days. It also only allows the masks to be re-worn for one day at a time, up to 20 more times.)

The iMASC researchers "wanted to maximize the reusability of the system," Giovanni Traverso, an MIT assistant professor of mechanical engineering and a gastroenterologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital, said in aThe new mask could also be more environmentally-friendly — it uses less disposable material, which produces much less waste than tossing a whole mask, Adam Wentworth, a research engineer at Brigham and Women's Hospital and aAn N95 mask is typically constructed from...

MakeIt We still won’t be able to convince MAGAts to wear it.

MakeIt Actually I have to admit that is smart and effective looking. Can even see more facial expression etc. I hate the mask mandate but atleast this would be effective unlike using bandanas and loose fitting junk.

MakeIt Which company makes this so i can buy their stocks?

MakeIt

MakeIt This is really what will stop pandemics unlike WHO or CDC

MakeIt No fuking way

MakeIt Hopefully they are 18-24 and enter jimcramer contest!

MakeIt Good job engineers! I really don't think it's the cost that's keeping some Americans from wearing these though. . .🙄

MakeIt That’s great but it’s critical that we don’t outsource manufacturing to Communist China - ok?

MakeIt “there is no timeline as of yet” So, basically useless. A mask you can’t buy is worthless.

MakeIt

MakeIt Or

MakeIt Oh yes! These will help flatten the curve to get us out of lockdown. Oh wait

MakeIt It’s good but possibly needs work on eye protection 👍

MakeIt

MakeIt Stonks

MakeIt If it’s not a sterile environment mask don’t do shit!!! And another MIT specialist say the same va_shiva can you give these folks a lesson please!!!!

MakeIt Why the hell you want everything to be reusable? When you wear a mask, you expect it blocks virus on its surface. Then you put your contaminated mask in you bag, now your bag is contaminated, eventually you get the virus from what it is supposed to protect you.

MakeIt No thanks

MakeIt 👎👎👎

MakeIt That’s certainly helpful to have a new kind of reusable N95 respirator. But reusable respirators already exist. They’re in short supply just as disposables. This “new” one uses a disposable filter, which again, in extreme short supply. So not sure what it solves but very nice

MakeIt Yeah good luck getting conservatives/republicans wearing those. - they can't even wear regular looking medical masks. They're not going to wear these.

MakeIt Oh...so, NOT effective. Cool. 🙄

MakeIt Not wearing it.

MakeIt Hate everything about this post! 😡

MakeIt More like: MIT Students just confirmed that intelligence has no direct correlation with common sense...repurposing a painter’s mask is not revolutionary!

MakeIt Come back with something that is an one time buy and can be washed and reused. All these things have parts that need to be bought time and again!

MakeIt Enjoy wearing this ugly piece of crap

MakeIt Why would we need these Fauci said anything will work even a facial tissue so either the MIT engineers or Fauci are full of shit or wasting time

MakeIt Hard no

MakeIt Make sure they enter it in jimcramer’s competition!

MakeIt I’ll search for it on Alibaba next month for $.0.99 cent covid MaskUp

MakeIt Nope

MakeIt Or, no you freaks

MakeIt I am sure Communist China is making a copy version as of tomorrow.

MakeIt NOPE. Go back to doing Math
