The Flu season has been particularly punishing this year, with flu cases rampant across the U.S. and with people back in work, schools, and everyday routines, the time spent in shared spaces increases with it. Whether you’re hauled up in offices, and classrooms, or bumping shoulders on busy public transit, spreading seasonal illnesses only gets easier when we’re all clumped together. It’s no surprise that many are looking for simple habits to help reduce the chance of seasonal sickness, one of the easiest ways to stay safe is by wearing a mask, and at Kind that’s what we’re about.
Why do flu cases increase in Enclosed Spaces
Flu is quite common in schools and workplaces, and usually positive cases start to climb once work and school are back in full swing. Respiratory viruses like the flu move easily from person to person, so as more people are indoors, in close contact, all sharing the same air, these become the perfect conditions to spread all manner of viruses, from Flu to Covid. And when all it takes is just one person coming to work sick to empty an office or classroom, it’s important to be taking the right steps to keep yourself a little safer.
Of course, I suspect most would prefer to avoid the flu if they can help it, and the perfect precautionary step you can take to stay a little safer is with one of our KN95 masks, designed to help keep any nasty viruses away so you can breathe easier. A KN95 mask is a practical tool that can be used when and where it’s most useful, without being intrusive.
Why Masks Are Still Important Beyond Pandemics
A mask is for more than just pandemics, today, wearing a mask is a precautionary measure that helps to keep yourself, and those around you safe. It’s a way to be considerate of those around you. A mask helps protect family, coworkers, classmates, and vulnerable individuals you interact with throughout the day. A bit of kindness goes a long way to help everyone stay healthy and well this flu season. A mask helps keep yourself sage as well, through the busy transit routes, and crowded shopping malls. A mask helps keep a barrier between you and any unwanted germs.
What Makes a KN95 Mask Effective
If you’re a regular here, then you already know just how effective our KN95 masks are, but maybe it’s your first time here, so let’s go over what makes a KN95 mask so effective. These masks are designed to keep a minimum of 95% of airborne particulates from ever reaching you, and with 4-layers of protective, high-quality materials made from non-woven, melt blown fabrics so even on a stuffy train during rush hour, you can still breathe comfortably.
The adjustable nose bridge helps to create a tight seal and provides a snug fit, so the mask is secure but never uncomfortable. Safety shouldn’t come at the cost of comfort, so we’ve made sure our masks are both. These masks sit light on the face and are designed to be as breathable as they are snug, lowering breathing resistance without compromising filtration efficiency. We don’t want people to think of masks as something dull, which is why we’ve kept our collection colorful! Whether you’re matching an outfit, or just picking your favorite, you’ll find a color for you.
It’s amazing how something as simple as wearing a mask, can go such a long way to help keeping you a little safer. Keeping a mask in crowded spaces will reduce the chance of having to stay home sick and keep yourself and those around you that much safer.
Stay Kind!
