Yes, that was their intermediate name because they were trying to hop on the no pesticides/herbicides/all natural ethos of the time.

If they make a reality teevee show with that central premise I will watch it!

A lot of the actual reporting at the WSJ is pretty good. It's the opinion pages that are prion-disease-level insane.

Thanks for the tip.

Don't forget to consider how well these seal around your face. A heavy filter might be counterproductive if it just forces more air around the edges. I would think the stiffness of some of these filters would have an effect.

Fully agreed.

I prefer an enormous mask that, among other things, provides a lot of surface area for air to flow through. That reduces the overall resistance of the mask, as well as improving the surface-area-to-edge ratio. If I put a layer of shop towel across the entirety of my mask, the air will go through pretty evenly ... whereas, if I put a PM 2.5 filter right in front of my nose/mouth, most of the air would go around it.

It's not on the list so I'm not sure how to evaluate their potential benefit.

Called comms office of our local hospital last month when this goatscrew went into effect. They were appalled, and at wit’s end trying to meet hastily-assembled new requirements. she even called me back the next day to say that only reliable info would likely be found at Md. Hospital Assn. website.A nightmare, indeed.
