In the years leading up to covid, I was a caregiver for my grandparents and watched them slowly lose their minds before they went. My grandfather was especially bad at the end. So my two biggest fears regarding covid are the death of Herd Immunity, which we're watching occur, and this shit. 
Thanks for the link! Sadly, it doesn't look like that's an option for me. :/
The Flow mask is definitely a bit pricey, but I could probably put away some money for it or something similar. It also addresses one of the issues I have with other elastomeric masks which is that I struggle to do anything in public that I fear might draw attention to me due to heavy (psychological) masking, and a lot of the others look very attention grabbing.
Welcome! Yeah they have some cute flowery covers too, that I imagine could force people to lower their guard. Lot of instant anger at the 3M auras around me, and I doubt it's over 3M's support of Israel. Another reason I wanna move away from the auras.
