Cool to see Will Toledo (of Car Seat Headrest) wearing a mask to perform at Austin City Limits. I found out he had Long Covid that stopped their touring in 2022. Glad to see them back! www.seattletimes.com/entertainmen...

Use what you have on hand: KN95 and N95 are both proven to filter larger particles (PM2.5) in smoke, helping to protect your lungs.

Pro tip from someone who used to cover fires all the time: N95s and KN95s (and other masks) will protect against the particulate matter that will otherwise potentially get into your throat, lungs, and bloodstream and make you feel like total shit.

Immunity debt is mentioned regularly by the press but it’s a completely unproven scientific theory. It wasn’t even conceived until after 2020 and yet it’s often on the news like science fact. healthydebate.ca/2023/01/topi...
