COVID-19 Chronicles

COVID-19 Chronicles: The One With The Face Masks

My mom and I leaving the house for the first time in 3 months (we went to the bank and the gas station before promptly returning to out hermit lifestyle)

Boy oh boy have we had a time trying to get these face masks! It was definitely an adventure. My family and I ordered the masks sometime early March and it ended up coming in late April. Anyway, many people are out there wondering what kind of masks are the best to use during this pandemic. According to the WHO (World Health Organization), the best masks to use are the ones that have a filtering respirator (i.e. N95 or FFP2 or FFP3 standard or equivalent). They are used to protect the wearer from inhaling airborne particles. The ones we bought are fantastic but unfortunately are sold out. Thankfully, many masks are available for purchase now and people have taken to making their own. How have you been surviving COVID?
