Important #CDC update yesterday improves guidance on mask quality & fit; now recommends #N95 respirators as one option for #BetterMasks. (1/x)
Updates like this don't just happen. People like @kprather88 & @linseymarr have been pushing behind scenes. 🙏

2/ Also important: N95s are not limited due to a supply chain shortage. True for months and why the CDC finally updated their guidance yesterday.
@projectn95 is a non-profit that provides a marketplace for vetted masks at low price:

3/ Any mask is better than no mask, but given the highly contagious Delta variant that now dominates, you should wear the best mask you can. See this great interview clip with @mtosterholm motivating the use of upgraded masks:
We visited Salem’s @UnitedWay earlier today where donations for fire evacuees are being collected. This room had everything from food to bedding to personal hygiene products (& more). #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #wildfiresmoke #smoke #fire #SantiamFire
The tables in the center of the main room held food, toilet paper, wipes, soap, tissues, toothbrushes, toothpaste & more all donated from community members to support evacuees. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #wildfiresmoke #smoke #fire #SantiamFire
This corner of the room was solely dedicated to diapers for little ones who had to evacuate. One of today’s deliveries was a lady who started a Facebook fundraiser and brought over even more diapers. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #wildfires #BeachieCreekFire #fire #SantiamFire
We’re at the Oregon State Fairgrounds right now where an evacuation center has been set up for people evacuating from the fires. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #wildfiresmoke #smoke #fire #SantiamFire #clypiancoverage
The Jackman-Long building houses a shelter run by the Red Cross. There are many tables of food, a large pile of water bottles, dozens of tables, and dozens of beds for evacuees. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #wildfiresmoke #smoke #fire #SantiamFire
A representative from Marion County helping with volunteer sign-ins says that they have had hundreds of community members volunteer to help with the shelter. To volunteer you can visit the Marion County website. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #santiamfire
Salem’s air quality is currently “very unhealthy” per the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. Limit your time outdoors if possible. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #wildfiresmoke #smoke #fire #BeachieCreekFire #clypiancoverage
Very unhealthy air quality means that everyone may experience more serious side effects. To avoid the smoke stay indoors whenever possible & leave windows/doors closed. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #wildfiresmoke #smoke #fire #BeachieCreekFire
Salem’s air quality has been upgraded to “hazardous” with an index of 341. The air quality is dangerous for everyone, do not go outside unless it is necessary. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #wildfiresmoke #smoke #fire #BeachieCreekFire #clypiancoverage
