CDC encourages N95, KN95 masks to stop COVID-19 spread amid omicron surgeN95 or KN95 masks are being recommended by the CDC over cloth masks to ward off the omicron variant. Here are the benefits and when you should wear one. Surgical earloop masks of 2 or 3 ply are quite good at stopping droplets and aerosols from being emitted from the respiratory system. Not as good as n95 but much cheaper and more available. It took them damn near two years to figure this out? What happened to reporting deaths? Only infections? If we are down to less than 1% death rate per 100,000 in population, then let's move the fuck on! At this point it's a bad cold. So sick of this!
