I totally respect that, I learned a lot about germs and respiratory diseases a few years ago, so I've changed my ways a bit. N95 is the right choice, I have them available (somewhere) because i bought them BEFORE COVID to wear after I swallow my iodine pill sitting in my crawlspace during ☢️ war.
Yes. I have iodine tabs in a bag of disaster stuff, too. I need to check their expiration. We’re lucky that no one cares about masks where we are in Florida. Others, especially grocery store employees, still wear them. So we don’t stick out. It is what it is with no guidance from the CDC anymore.
I'm all the way in there corner, WA state. Retail employees wear masks up here too, can't say that I blame them. Florida would be more than I could handle, people up here are more like live and let live.
