Why I Wear A KF94 Mask

I don’t normally write this type of post

But I thought this was such good information that I wanted to get the word out to as many people as I can.

You see, I’ve been researching face masks

And whether or not there’s something out there other than the N95

That will protect the wearer from the Coronavirus.

And guess what??

There are!!

And I wanted to let you know about them

So we can all protect ourselves while we’re also protecting those around us.

I think we all know that the N95 masks used by the healthcare industry actually protect the people wearing them by filtering out the COVID-19 virus so they don’t breathe it in.

Right now the general public doesn’t have access to N95’s because they’re reserved for only healthcare workers (as they should be.)

But we’re in luck because there are some options out there for us that are as good and even better than N95’s for protection.

If you would like to research this yourself HERE is a link to Aaron Collins’ YouTube channel. He’s a Mechanical Engineer with a Masters Degree in Ultra-Fine Particle Loss and Aerosol Science. He has several videos in which he tests the filtration efficiency of different face masks.

His results show that cloth masks and surgical masks only have a filtration efficiency of about 27% to 77%.

BUT many Korean manufactured KF94 and KN95 masks have an efficiency of 99.1% to 99.9%. (An N95 that the medical industry uses as standard is rated at 95%)

Here are some of his top recommendations for the best COVID-19 protection for yourself that you can wear:

A big part of what factors into a face mask’s efficiency is whether or not it fits well and there are no gaps for air (and VIRUS) to be breathed in. So you want to be sure to get the best fit where all the edges around the mask are sitting against your face with no gaps.

I ordered the Bluna Face Fit and they’re great! They have adjustable earloops and a nose wire to keep them in place without any gaps. And it’s comfortable to wear and it’s easy to breathe and talk with it on.

And you can wear the same mask for about 30 hours if it’s undamaged and you keep it in the package when not in use.

I hope this information has been helpful and you’ll at least check it out to keep your family and yourself as protected as possible!
