Free Masks Coming:  Both the federal and state governments have recently announced the intention to distribute free masks.  Here’s what we know so far: President Biden announced last week that the federal government will be providing high-quality masks for free. This article has more details, including that masks are likely to be distributed through pharmacies and community health centers. On January 5th, Governor Inslee announced that Washington State will “release about 10 million masks... for distribution into local communities, including K-12 schools, in the coming weeks. Local and state emergency management distribution channels will be used, as well as local health departments and our K-12 infrastructure...” Both efforts are likely to be widely covered in the media, so stay tuned.  In the meantime, Public Health – Seattle & King County provides this advice about high-quality masks.  Looking for a credible place to buy N95 and KN95 masks?  Check out the nonprofit Project N95.

The free masks will be made available to the public at thousands of local pharmacies and community health centers nationwide starting late next week.
Shipments of the free masks will come out of the country's Strategic National Stockpile, which federal officials have cited as a key part of their efforts to shore up domestic mask makers.

The coronavirus is airborne. Very airborne.

Even if you don’t see anyone—doesn’t mean the aerosols aren’t in the air.
You need high quality N95 / KN95 / KF94 / FFP2/ FFP3 masks. 
Please ventilate, get HEPA filters, get upper room UV.
