@CDCDirector Hi Mandy, as @TogetherWeMask has pointed out, the lack of color contrast means this graphic very clearly fails to meet the federal standards for accessible electronic communications. This is a legal requirement!

2023 has seen the loss of many vital national resources, including now @projectn95 , but it's also seen the emergence of local community-led initiatives all across the country. Anyone can start a mask bloc, and it's not too late!!

Project N95 ending mask store, free distributions by the end of 2023 - The Sick Times

Project N95, the nonprofit organization that distributes high-quality masks and other Covid-19 safety equipment, announced last month that it will wind down its operations at the end of 2023. This...

@rg224 Just wanted to update that several Texas-based mask blocs are working on this and it's looking good so far! Apparently they've gotten a lot of messages about it, so they're asking that folks only DM if they can offer concrete logistics help

What is a mask bloc? A mask bloc is an autonomous local disability justice group that distributes masks and other COVID-prevention resources to people who need them. Anyone can start a mask bloc anywhere in the world, and the movement is growing.

We voted to change from COVID Solidarity NYC to Mask Bloc NYC to reflect this history & to align ourselves with the growing movement. We also want to acknowledge the multiple ways that masks keep us safe—from COVID, pollution, state surveillance, & more. Need masks? Let us know!

@CDCDirector For proper risk communication, the map for COVID-19 levels should use a wide spectrum of colors to increase clarity and attention grabbing. Colorblindness is a common disability. Using distinctively different hues will increase accessibility to ALL.

I also got so frustrated during my virtual appointment to get Paxlovid, with NYC Health + Hospitals, hearing the provider tell me (multiple times!) that I only had to isolate for five days, and could go out again after that. (4/8)

Does anyone have info about the fit/quality of these KN95s from MedSup Canada? We may have an opportunity to get them in bulk but want to verify that they are decent enough quality to give to the community

We will continue to message that N95s are the most protective option, but there is huge demand for KN95s especially for protests and other group settings, and our current stock is running low

A lot of sellers seem to be willing to do smaller deals outside of the auction site for a flat fee

A couple of other questions that might be good to ask if you get the chance: 1) What are the dimensions and weight of the individual units? 2) Do they have any kind of certification paperwork? 3) When/how could one arrange an inspection?

This reads to me just like they're confirming that that's the price for the full lot, not that you can't buy a smaller quantity. "You will be expected to pick them all up" could just be that the seller isn't arranging shipping
