The static charge of the N95 is part of what makes it so effective. No idea if there is any science behind protecting the N95s or just sound logic.

Unlike the big EU countries, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, spain, Italy etc. Their combined message to Africa, Asia, their former colonies that they looted over the past 100 plus years is get stuffed, you can all die for all we care.

From Florida's Great and Glorious Leader.
“We’re not going to divert second doses away from seniors,” DeSantis said Tuesday in defense of why the state hadn’t administered half of the doses received so far. “If the White House is suggesting that we shouldn’t be doing that, I think that that’s not a good suggestion.”

Canadian snowbirds abroad grapple with tough new travel rules that include a big hotel bill

"I'm not going to pay $2,000 a person for three nights. That's ridiculous," said Canadian snowbird Claudine Durand, 50, of Lachine, Que., who's spending the winter in Florida.
