Aren't those disposable? Are they giving them new masks every day? Did they get professional fittings (otherwise: worthless)?

Oh, STFU. It’s more than APE has done. A lot more.

This is like Scientologists giving out the book Dianetics to people for free.

Except they gave out free masks to teachers.. which teachers need to teach... I'm not sure that's the same thing at all...

It’s a stunt to give out one disposable mask per person.

KN95 do not require professional fitting. Since you are an antimasker, realize you don't know this.

That’s what APS is giving to students and staff, upon request. Smart Restart is doing just as much as the school district itself. Kudos to them! Even though I don’t agree with them on everything, I appreciate them doing something tangible to improve safety for staff. More than APE seems to be doing.

None of the respirators need professional fitting to work well. They work super well if they are fit tested but as long as there are no gaping holes, they are better than surgical masks. They can be reused if not visibly dirty.

It’s hard enough for some kids to understand and hear teachers clearly and this will make it worse. And on the teacher side, hope they don’t end up with strained voices and I wouldn’t want to wear that mask all day but if they like it then I M glad they go them.

The mask went in my desk where it will stay.

This is horribly unnecessary. I hope and pray they don't make kids wear those things. N95s are meant for hospital workers and no one else.

They can be reused. Ideally everyone would have five masks that they could wear for one day and then let sit out for a week.

They don't need to be professionally fitted to be good protection in the classroom. I get that you're a COVID denier, but even for you, "worthless" is a little strong, no?

Cool. Now please don't ever say that APS should go remote or hybrid. And DO NOT advocate for kids having to wear these. They are very difficult to breathe in and my kids have a hard time in masks all day as it is.

You think someone is a covid denier because they are asking if the masks are disposable? Aren’t they intended to be disposable?
