It is insanely mentally unwell to be concerned about the disease that is the #1 leading non-natural cause of death in the United States going on three years now, which our government has told us that they no longer will fund any sort of efforts to mitigate.

350-400K deaths every year is the baseline norm going forward and if this worries you, you are mentally unwell.

The valve doesn’t lower the protection to the wearer.

It does lower the efficacy for source control, i.e. preventing an infected wearer from spreading the virus, but not to the point where valved respirators are worse than cloth or surgical masks.

I personally don’t love valved N95s because they don’t do much to increase my comfort and they make seal checks harder, but the Aura series fits me so that’s not a dealbreaker.

I just don't get what the point of the valve is then

They're going to write off people dying in their 20s-40s of heart/brain clots as bad diet choices and I'm glad to learn what social murder means and that there's a definition for this insanity.

This brief examines how deaths from COVID-19 rank among other leading causes of death in the U.S. We find that nearly as many people died of COVID-19 in February 2022 as the typical deaths from heart disease. We also find that in January 2022, COVID-19 was the number 1 cause of death for people age 45-84 and in the top 4 leading causes of death for other age groups. The number of COVID-19 deaths has declined so far in March, but the disease remains a leading cause of death, generally exceeding 1,000 deaths per day.

I find them more comfortable when worn outside while hiking heavily populated trails. Less heat/condensation build-up.

Just a reminder that excess deaths are actually up by 40% over pre-pandemic levels so that 1 million death count is probably comically lowballing it.
