Universal Masking In Schools Work; Data Shows How Well

It is kind of obvious that mask should make a difference. especially if we are talking respirator masks (N95/Ffp2/Kn95 etc) that are designed to protect the bearer from patogens like viruses. What we have sort of lacked is a real world comparison between a larger number of schools that keeps mask requirements and schools that remove mask requirements. And the result is clear: it makes a big difference. The first link is to the Time article about the NEJM published study.

How to improve air quality

Anyone read up on Covid and transmission/mitigation. knows that the SARS-Cov-2 virus likes to get airborne. 90%+ of transmission is airborne. This makes air quality important when it comes to protect people indoors.

The “magic” of N95 & Ffp2 masks

Some people doesn’t believe in masks. Maybe because they don’t understand how they work. This article explains this pretty well.
