Guía de máscaras (respiradores) para principiantes Esta guía es para personas que quieren empezar a usar máscaras o quieren usar máscaras con mayor frecuencia pero se confunden con todas las opciones que hay. ¿Dónde puedo comprar máscaras que me protejan? ¿Qué es KN95 o N95? 🧵 [1/4]

Mask (respirators) Beginner Guide This guide is for people who want to start wearing masks or want to wear masks more often but are a bit confused about the whole thing. What is a respirator? What is a duckbill mask? What is an 3M Aura? Where can I buy masks that will protect me? What is a KN95?

further reason to expand your understanding of what respirators can do for you and your community— from climate crisis to a crumbling public health apparatus to encroaching surveillance, medical grade facial protection is a tool that protects beyond any one use. h/t @jasonkoebler.bsky.social
