    Slim and I have been saying that about the N95 from the gitgo.
    Seems like you and the CDC have finally seen the light.
    I guess you finally see the science that we have stated long ago.

    ... and what was that? Get a N95 mask? They were generally not available to the public at the time.

    A year ago both the USA and Canada had insufficient domestic production capacity and most N95 masks were imported from China. What local stockpiles that were available were limited to front line responders.

    Now a year later and thanks in no small part to President Biden's historic American Rescue plan of eleven months ago, the USA has vastly increased it's domestic capacity to produce all forms of PPE and N95 masks.

    In fact, President Biden announced this week that all Americas will be soon mailed a N95 mask at no charge.

    I can vouch for Phil and slim on this. I can also say that SSG and bsm2 were pushing the cloth masks as effective protection. Common sense should be all that is required. Phil and slim have it. You know the rest....

    They are against anything that the China connected CDC/WHO don't give their blessings to.
    Both groups squashed anything that didn't fit their agenda. But they have been taking their money just to spread the lies, no matter who was hurt by their lies.

    China made N95 are labeled Kn95.
    There was shortage at first due to Covid spores detected in their masks, same with the test kits from China.

    Plurality Say Handled Coronavirus Worse than Trump

    President Joe Biden’s approval rating continues to slump as he heads into the second year of his presidency, as a plurality of voters say he has handled the Chinese coronavirus “worse” than former President Donald Trump, a Redfield & Wilton Strategies survey released this week found.


    The survey found Biden’s job approval continued to drop over the past month. A plurality, 44 percent, disapprove of Biden’s job performance, while 39 percent approve. That represents a two-point drop from the 41 percent who approved of his job performance in Redfield & Wilton Strategies’ December survey. Of those, 32 percent “strongly” disapprove of his job performance, compared to 14 percent who “strongly” approve:


    The survey also asked respondents to gauge how much they approve or disapprove of the Biden administration’s handling of key issues — from the coronavirus pandemic to the economy.
    The results were, in part, as follows:
    Coronavirus Pandemic: 41 percent approve, 40 percent disapprove
    The Economy: 35 percent approve, 44 percent disapprove
    Healthcare: 33 percent approve, 37 percent disapprove
    The Environment: 36 percent approve, 33 percent disapprove
    Crime/Policing: 31 percent approve, 40 percent disapprove
    Immigration: 30 percent approve, 44 percent disapprove
    Relations with China: 30 percent approve, 38 percent disapprove

    Additionally, the survey found that “pluralities of respondents believe Joe Biden has handled the economy (46%), immigration (44%), national security and defense (41%), and foreign policy (41%) worse than Donald Trump.”
    Growth is found only in adversity.

    “N95 is the U.S. standard, and the KN95 is the China standard.” "Because of this, only N95 masks are approved for health-care use in the United States, even though KN95 masks have many of the same protective properties."

    Florida on Friday reported its biggest COVID-19 death spike since the Thanksgiving holiday.

    Florida logged 470 more viral fatalities among residents statewide in the past week, health officials reported Friday, the biggest seven-day increase since Nov. 26 Deaths can take weeks to be processed and make their way into state statistics.

    The state's death toll stands at 63,158 residents. Florida's Health Department in June stopped publishing the number of nonresidents who died after testing positive here. Tourist season is in full swing.

    There was a shortage at first because of overwhelming global demand.

    I bought a box of 20x KN95 masks the other day for $25.00. They were not available to myself at retail until recently.
