How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"

Is this N95 Compliant
Is this N95 Compliant??
Perhaps a new use for a Disco Pollen Filter!Must stop buying shiny toys....
Probably easier to get hold of than the filters for my A1-P3 respirator. Been out of stock for months I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
