-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Masks where one of the first things to go, they where let go completly by febuary. What really sucks for this is that due mostly in part to the US will chose the regulations it controls both MSHA and OSHA requrie NIOSH apporoved masks and do not accept equivelents. so no new masks can enter circulation
Also for what its worth what I read of the KN95 standard (the english translation) it is better than the N95 mask, and as someone who wears a KN95 every day unless required to wear an N95 for respretory protection (see regulation wierdness) the focus on sightlines the KN95 mask has that n95 does not is amazing
It would be funny if someone at OSHA decided KN95s were acceptable and 3M and co's masks became unprofitable overnight, with everyone importing Chinese masks.
I mean 3m Masks will soon be either unprofitable or need a new rating or an internal one, because no new mask can be rated any more, so when they need to be retested, or a new moddel comes out, they cannot and so they cannot stamp n95 on it any more
