dylanjosh Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 I don't think you can trust any n95 that says washable. There was a video on the prev pages about how n95 masks work that explains why 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've bought about 20 Venus V-4400 N95 from ABCSales @ Amazon. They were of the exact same quality our office bought in bulk from a different vendor. Yellow adjustable straps, lot number mentioned etc. I got the red straps version from another seller of the same mask, and it had no lot number mentioned. Plus the logo and other writing was too big and clear (lol), so seemingly fake. Edit: I don't think there are any NIOSH approved washable N95 mask. I don't buy washable masks, and I don't recommend them at all. Just based on science, washing should destroy the efficacy of N95 masks, so I don't believe those sellers.

From what I know, mucous membranes should be covered as aerosols can stick to them. Multiple studies have found SARS COV2 on ocular surface too - so eyes, nose and mouth need to be covered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some cases, the neurological problem was the patient’s first and main symptom. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/26/opinion/coronavirus-brain-damage-dementia.html Quote Among patients hospitalized for Covid-19 in Wuhan, China, more than a third experienced nervous system symptoms, including seizures and impaired consciousness. Earlier this month, French researchers reported that 84 percent of Covid patients who had been admitted to the I.C.U. experienced neurological problems, and that 33 percent continued to act confused and disoriented when they were discharged. Stay safe, guys. Not the time to be adventurous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhpian Bali Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Can someone tell me what is the difference between KN-95 and N95? What is NIOSH certified? I deal with a company for Metal related items. They have diversified into masks during this pandemic. They have various certification from a UK agency and mention N95, Niosh N95 equivalent. If you guys are interested I can get you guys wholesale rates. I am not doing this for money but rather the company is forcing me to sell masks which I dont have time for.

But a mini-lockdown for a week and border closing needs to be done ASAP. % percent wrto tests is crossing 10% for last few days. So it is already quite bad. BIEC will have 10000 beds, state govt has been really quick on these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIEC will have 10000 beds, state govt has been really quick on these things. I'm thinking that numbers will go down, purely based on the behaviour of the people over the last week or so. Chikpet, JC Road & SP Road ( 3 major business/ shopping centres ) completely shut down. Malleswaram n Gand Bazaar also under minute lockdown. I visited Koramangala on monday. The place is deserted. Hardly anything is open and people are just not moving around at all. Even Jayanagar had shops open, but the crowd was so less. People have become more aware and scared. So i'm hoping we will keep things under control. But i do agree, Borders should be closed for a few days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
