A large study run in Bangladesh claimed that surgical masks, but not cloth masks, reduced symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections" by 0.08% (ARR), and only in people over 50. But a subsequent re-analysis of the study by statisticians found that there was in fact no benefit at all.
More than eight months into the pandemic, health care leaders are again calling for a coordinated national strategy to distribute personal protective equipment to protect health care workers and their patients as a new wave of disease wells up across most of the country.
If you're attending this weekend's Governor's Ball — New York's three-day festival that kicks off this Friday - you'll want to make sure that your packing list includes face masks, which can protect against Covid-19 variants, allergens and dust, but also the smoke from the Canadian wildfires that will likely still be ravaging much of the Northeast through the weekend.
Miller also previously told us that the list of KN95 models the FDA specifically approved in its April 2020 emergency use authorization N95 Masks Nyc is one of the best resources to use when sourcing the respirators, even after the FDA stopped updating the list in 2021.
