#FitTesting is not always needed but becomes extremely valuable if the following apply:
▫️ Prolonged time period
▫️ Others are unmasked
▫️ Indoor air quality is bad or not tested personally

Tip #1 – Determine your #mask rules. Some parents require staff to #N95. Compliance would vary by region/hospital. Prep for what you’ll say if staff don’t comply.
With our newborn twins, we supplied medical staff w/free N95s & tests. Nobody wanted N95s; 1 took a #RAT. 🤣

Tip #2 – U.S. hospitals SHOULD have excellent ventilation (air cleaning) by reg. But HVAC repair doesn’t have a CPT code. Many of my best & worst air quality readings are from hospitals.
Consider buying a #CO2monitor, read on that hashtag, & follow @joeyfox85 for basic tips.

Kids <2 yrs old can’t mask.
Kids <6 months can’t vax.
Many parents are using strollers w/rain covers to try to get some protection during essential activities.
Does adding a #PAPR or #HEPA device help?
I tried 6 models: engrxiv.org/preprint/view/…

First off, thanks @RealSexyCyborg for the original design. Thanks to @ccwake1, @gjmf, @drgregkelly for ideas too. Happy to acknowledge!
My goal was to test 6 models & help relate them to non-engineers.

The PAPR & HEPA buggies I tested had an estimated 57-951 air changes per hour (ACH) in these TINY spaces. The worst design had about 3x the air cleaning of an OR.
You can make a #PAPRbuggy that’s super discrete for about $110 more than an existing stroller & rain cover.
