NEW AT 4 TODAY AS COVID-19
VARIANTS SPREAD ACROSS THE
U.S. HEALTH EXPERTS ARE
ENCOURAGING YOU TO UP YOUR
MASK AGAIN, YOU CAN EITHER
WHERE 2 CLOTH FACE COVERINGS
OR UPGRADE TO A HEAVY DUTY
95. BUT SOMETIMES THESE MASKS
ARE HARD TO FIND AND THE FAKE
ONES ARE POPPING UP ONLINE. SO
JOINING US NOW LIVE VIA ZOOM
IS PROJECT. A 95 DIRECTOR ANNE
MILLER TO TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU
NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU
UPGRADE YOUR MASK AND THANKS
FOR JOINING US. THANK YOU.
FIRST OF ALL, WHAT IS PROJECT.
A 95.
YES. PROJECT 95 IS A
NONPROFIT THAT WAS FOUNDED AT
THE BEGINNING OF THE PANDEMIC
WE'RE HERE TO HELP EVERYONE
GET QUALITY PPE FROM TRUSTED
SUPPLIERS.
OKAY. THAT IS GOOD NEWS
BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF WE'VE
BEEN HEARING THAT WEARING A
SINGLE CLOTH MASK THROUGHOUT
THE I'VE BEEN WEARING A SINGLE
CLOTH MASKS THROUGHOUT THE
ENTIRETY OF THE PANDEMIC. BUT
WE'VE HEARD NOW THAT WITH
THESE NEW VARIANTS DOUBLE
MASKING OR KN 95 IS BETTER. SO
SHOULD PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO'VE
JUST BEEN WEARING A CLOTH
MASK, REALLY TAKE THE PLUNGE
AND UPGRADE OUR MASKS AT THIS
POINT.
YEAH. THAT'S THE ADVICE
FROM THE CDC TO DOUBLE MASK.
SO YOU WOULD WEAR A SURGICAL
MASK UNDERNEATH THAT LIKE A
SURGICAL PLEADED MASK THAT YOU
SEE THE BLUE FITTED MASK, YOU
WEAR ONE OF THOSE ON THE AS
YOUR FIRST LAYER PERPETRATION
AND THEN YOU WOULD WEAR A
CLOTH MASK OVER IT. SO WHEN I
TALK ABOUT THOSE MEN PLEADED
MASK FOR THOSE SURGICAL MASK.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ONES THAT
ARE RATED TO AN ASTM STANDARD.
NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU MIGHT
SEE AT RETAIL WHICH MIGHT NOT
HAVE A STATE THE BOX AT ALL.
YOU NEED TO KNOW, THOUGH, WHAT
YOUR FIRST LAYER IS PROVIDING
SOME PROTECTION AND THEN YOUR
CLOCK PLAYER HELPS TO TAKE
CARE OF ANY KIND OF LEAKS
AROUND THE SIDES.
SO HOW DO WE KN 95 MASK.
KN 95 THERE. THE DEAD
GIVEAWAY. IT HAS YOUR LIPS.
AND 95. THEY HAVE HAD STRAPPED
MAKE 95. THEY OPERATE BECAUSE
OF THAT COMPRESSION. A BIT.
THE COMPRESSION BIT. THAT'S
HOW THEY ACHIEVE THEIR
FILTRATION EFFICIENCY AND
THEIR LACK OF LEAKAGE. SO THE
HEADS TRUCKS REALLY IMPORTANT
IN AN N 95. BUT YOU SEE IN
PICTURE AND THEN FOR KN 95,
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AN
HEIRLOOM. THE MAIN THING THAT
I SAY ABOUT A KN 95 IS THAT
YOU ALWAYS WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT YOU'RE BUYING AN FDA
EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZES EU A
CLEAR KN 95. THERE ARE A 167
KN 95 BRANDS THAT HAVE BEEN
LISTED BY THE FBI ON THEIR
WEBSITE. SO THESE ARE THE ONES
I WOULD RECOMMEND BECAUSE THEY
SAY THAT THEY'RE SAFE TO BE
USED AS A HEALTH CARE WORKER
MOST HEALTH CARE WORKERS DON'T
USE THEM BECAUSE THEY GOT KIND
OF A BAD RAP AT THE BEGINNING
OR THEIR HOSPITAL JUST DOESN'T
BUY THEM FOR THEM. BUT THERE
ARE A 167 DIFFERENT KN 95 THAT
ARE OKAY FOR CONSUMERS TO USE.
AND YOU MENTIONED HEALTH
CARE WORKERS. YOU KNOW, MAYBE
10 MONTHS AGO AT THIS POINT.
NOW WE REALLY HEARD DON'T BUY
THESE MASKS ARE HEALTH CARE.
OFFICIALS NEED THEM. THEY'RE
NEEDED IN THE HOSPITALS
SOMETHING MUST HAVE CHANGED
ALONG THE WAY. SUPPLY CHAIN
THAT THAT IT'S OK TO GO OUT
AND GET THESE NOW.
SO OVER TIME, THE WORLD
DEMAND FOR PPE HAS DECREASED A
LOT OF THE OTHER COUNTRIES
HAVE GONE. THERE COVID UNDER
CONTROL. SO THE WORLD ISN'T
DEMANDING AS MUCH IN TERMS OF
MASS AND AT THE SAME TIME A
DOMESTIC PRODUCTION HAS
INCREASED. AND SO WE'RE ABLE
TO SEE AN INCREASE IN SUPPLY
AND THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE
CAN SEE MORE PEOPLE GETTING N
95 KN 95. THERE'S THERE'S MORE
AVAILABILITY AND THE THERE'S
MORE SURGICAL MASK
AVAILABILITY IN THE U.S. AS
WELL. THE MAIN THING IS THAT
WE'VE BEEN HERE BEDDING AND
THE PPE FOR HEALTH CARE
WORKERS FOR FRONTLINE WORKERS
FOR ESSENTIAL WORKERS FOR
ANYONE WHO NEEDS TO GET OUT IN
THE WORLD AND BE SAFE. SO THE
IDEA BEHIND WHAT WE'VE BEEN
DOING IS THAT WE DO THE
RESEARCH SO THAT YOU DON'T
HAVE TO.
AND I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE A
PLACE ON YOUR WEBSITE WHERE
PEOPLE CAN SHOP AND GET SOME
RELIABLE NON COUNTERFEIT
MASKS. SO WHAT DO YOU
RECOMMEND IF SOMEONE DOES WANT
TO UPGRADE THEIR MASK WHERE
CAN THEY GO TO BUY SOMETHING
THAT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO WORK.
BUT I SAW PEOPLE, AS YOU
CAN BUY FROM WHATEVER YOUR
PREFERRED LOCATION IS BUT MAKE
SURE YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU'RE
BUYING AT PROJECT IN 95 WE'RE
AT WWW DOT PROJECT, A 95 DOT
WE HAVE PPE THAT WE HAVE
VETTED AND VERIFIED AND WE
OFFER BOTH HEALTH CARE WORKERS
ARE PRODUCTS AND WE OFFER
CONSUMER PRODUCTS AS WELL. SO
WE HAVE 2 DIFFERENT MARKET
PLACES FOR BOTH TYPES OF USERS
WE ARE WHAT I CALL A PEOPLE
POWERED MARKETPLACE. SO WE
HAVE CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENTS
WHO WILL TAKE YOUR CALLS
ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS SO YOU
DON'T HAVE TO FEEL LIKE I'M
MAKING A MISTAKE OR AM I
BUYING THE RIGHT PRODUCT. SO
WE'RE HERE TO HELP.
AND MILLER, AS ALWAYS, WE
APPRECIATE YOU JOINING US.
INTERESTING I ACTUALLY DIDN'T
KNOW ABOUT THE THE PLEADED
ONES. YES, THOSE COMING RACES

BOX. I HAVE AT HOME, RIGHT.

STANDARD. YEAH, WE WILL DO
