Thanks alot to the mask manufacturers. But i have a simple request from the manufacturers themselves. This is my point. A friend of mine failed to detect the smell of 🔥 because of wearing a😷. Hence out of 100% 20 & useless was save. I mean 😷production need some improvements.

Check the CDC website. If the KN95 or N95 do not have a band at top and bottom, they are fake.

Please post the study with data. What we’re the conditions ? How old were the masks and people involved? Wheat country was it conducted in? You see we don’t trust you

It’s so shameful, our President can’t go to a Car Race, or a College game without chanting by the crowd, mocking, our President.

Wait....we were told the masks protects others from you ?

There are so many factory trolls on this

The mask is not to prevent infection. It is intended to suppress droplets and prevent infection.

Ha! Your figuring this out now? That’s what I’ve been saying. Mask mandates are Bull Shit. If you’re scared, wear a f…ng n 95 and leave me alone! journalism

Bullshit. Not true at all

DKB20 Fake news! There can be no reasonable correlation between the randomness of the covid tests and the ineffectiveness of paper marks to stop microscopic aerosols

It’s also lower if u got vaccinated 3x and wear a mask.

We’ll take note and proceed accordingly

Your chance of getting Covid are low if you get the vaccine and wear anything over your mouth and nose.

How about we wear no masks at all?
