Filtering face piece respirator mask-wearing is a critical element of personal safety, as well as eye protection, likely for the next five years or more according to Germany’s government experts. It started in Bavaria and now the entire country must wear respirators.
This is something every mom needs to learn as the center of their family. It is the fundamental truth of protecting families against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
The ups and downs of the massive manipulations of for-profit manufacture of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are naturally going to cause more than concerns, they are going to cause massive deaths.

What can be done about it? The answer is to correctly wear fit-tested personal protective equipment, maintain impeccable hygiene, and avoid risk (social distancing).
Active Cases of COVID-19 including its variants are Everywhere
There are over 26,323,034 active COVID-19 reported cases around the world today although the unreported cases are likely over a quarter billion. See the graph later in this article. Data Source: Civil Society Solidarity Partners Against COVID-19
Why Europe wants people to wear an FFP-2 (Same as N95) Mask
FFP2, KN95, N95 respirators filter 95% of all particles of virus, bacteria, parasites and toxic pollutants from the wearer’s respiratory system if the mask is fitted correctly. That is a better efficacy against catching COVID-19 than what a vaccine ca produce, and according to one scientist, could end the pandemic in four weeks if everyone wore an N95-type mask.
Harvard Professor says N95 mask wearing will end Pandemic as has been said here in FPM.news for a year.
It has been mandatory for Germans to wear a mask since April 2020 hence Germans have grown comfortable wearing face coverings, but now the masks have become a little more expensive and more effective than a vaccine if worn properly.
“We are seeing that the market is coping well not only with the demand for surgical masks, but also for FFP2 masks,” said Christian Splett, spokesman for the Federal Association of German Pharmacists (ABDA).
“Of course, the masks can be sold out for a day here and there, but that is normal. The nationwide supply is guaranteed.”
Referring to new variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, especially the UK B1.1.1.7 genome, Chancellor Angela Merkel said, “We must take the danger posed by this variant very, very seriously, and we must slow the spread of this variant as far as possible.”
Starting from 1 February 2021, passengers on flights to Germany will be required to wear FFP2, KN95, N95 filtering facepiece respirators.
The SARS2 virus is growing nastier. But some folks think people should get Nicer.

Author learned from experts that “Filtering facepiece respirators (FFR) are what people need to protect their respiration system from the SARS-CoV-2 virus in conjunction with good eye protection.
“Your readers may not like this but what you wear greeting patients in the emergency clinics is what they must wear to prevent the need for emergency care for COVID-19,” said the 3M mask distributor in London, England.

Spit Barriers “should not be used to help reduce exposures to airborne particles”.
According to a foremost North American manufacturer of masks, “Surgical/procedure or “medical” facemasks are designed to help keep spit and mucous generated by the wearer from reaching a patient or medical equipment. Some surgical/procedure masks do contain filter media but as they may not be designed to form a seal to the face, and have not been certified to meet all of the performance standards of a respirator, they should not be used to help reduce exposures to airborne particles.”
