February 22, 2021, Dr. Anthony Fauci was interviewed on CNN and said “that it’s “possible” Americans will still need to wear masks in 2022 to protect against the coronavirus, even as the US may reach “a significant degree of normality” by the end of this year.”
This Grandma is convinced we will all be reaching for masks before we leave home long after we no longer need to wear masks. As it is going, that time seems farther and farther away.
Mask ads are everywhere, and it seems every company is making masks now, but here are some of the best new masks, including for children, and real N95 and KN95 masks for sale.
DISNEY MASKS FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS
With return to school hopefully imminent, masks children will love are sought. Thank goodness Disney is in on the act.
What can we find? First, reasonable pricing. Four reusable masks for $20. Second, a variety of patterns and colors that Disney lovers of all ages will appreciate, plus they come in three sizes, so you can find the perfect fit for your face, child or adult.
CRYSTAL FACE MASK AND KIDS MASKS
Movie stars have been seen in this washable and reusable crystal face mask by masqd.com. Now that some states, like New York, are allowing celebrations of greater numbers, a crystal mask may just be the accessory you need. Their other selections are great, especially their clever kids’ masks.
LED AND OTHER FUN FACE MASKS
A dear long (we never say old) friend introduced me to www.flipboard.com which is a free compilation of various news sources around the world on topics you choose when you subscribe. I subscribed and enjoy the access to worldwide news and favorite topics. The shopping article (of course, shopping is a favorite topic for this Grandma), “Fun Face Masks to Change Up Your Look,” includes a voice activated LED mask, custom face masks with your face on it and transparent face masks from Etsy, and superhero face masks for children. There are some that this Grandma thinks are only appropriate for Halloween, but you never know who they may appeal to.
THE BEST MASKS FOR DOUBLE MASKING, INCLUDING KN95
My daughter subscribes to THE SKIMM, a free daily email news subscription that is clever and informative. I subscribed and enjoy their content. February 18, 2021, they published, “The Best Masks for Double-Masking (And How To Do It Properly).” In addition to links to reasonable priced three ply disposable medical masks and fashionable cloth masks, they give a link to great mask chains. If you have not yet used one, you will find it great. Last, there is a link to a reasonably priced KN95 respirator mask that is FDA approved.
REAL N95 MASKS
Now that PopPop and I are vaccinated, we are finally going to visit our grandchildren! I searched for N95 masks and purchased some. It turned out that they were fake, and fortunately the company reimbursed us. The Sun Sentinel had an article, “Fake N95 Masks Abound, but here’s how to find the Real Thing,” February 2021, and I purchased NIOSH approved N95 respirator mask fold style from DemeTech in Miami, listed in the article. Finally, real N95 masks to wear on the airplane!
We may want stylish masks for some occasions, but it is wonderful to be able to find real KN95 and N95 masks when we might be among groups for extra safety and care.
Joy,
Mema
