I've been wondering about the KN95s. Are they really good. They seem to be very available now.
The bottom line is that there likely is no "perfect mask". And when it comes to our shared former system I can't help but think that they'll make the teachers supply their own gear and cleaning supplies after about January, which is the current schedule for resuming in the building classes, because they will have run out of them already. While online classes are being held the first semester teachers are still expected to report to the schools. How often is undetermined but it's at least a couple times a week right now. My money is on three. The plan is to have full in person pre-service of seven days.

Our craft store has a new line of faceshields for $4. They also have so.e very funny and classic washable masks for $6 Their vast Star Wars character selection was entertaining. As a teacher, you could change your mask and mood of the classroom every day. And have a few of the happy / sad/ confused masks to communicate the current mood of the classroom. Lots of animal and movie star mask themes. Add science and technology themes. (Good PT design business for educators.
This evening I'm attending the first high school game of the year at the school my son coaches at.
The school's regulations concerning mask wearing to me does make a lot of sense without going over the top Corona-Nuts.
All fans are required to wear masks when entering or leaving the stadium and every time they move around in the stands or go to the concession stands. They encourage attempting to social distance, but do not require the fans to wear their masks while sitting.
I'm good with it. I'll wear my non-KN95 mask when I'm moving around so I can breathe. I do own a KN95 and will have it handy if I find myself packed in with people and it appears a little risky.
The specs on this particular mask says "Does not protect against viruses". So then, what would be the point?
They pretty much all say that because nothing is 100% and no one would manufacture them if they could be sued by someone who still got a virus while wearing a mask.
