Last I checked Powecoms are still one of the most highly rated KN95s & this is the best place to get them.
They sell some colors individually wrapped if you prefer that. Good for handing out to people.
(N95s protect better than KN95s but people are more likely to actually wear earloop masks.)
FWIW, Bonafide Masks is having a 30% off sale right now. This is where I've gotten my Powecom KN95 masks for years now. Not a paid spokesperson, ha ha, just a customer! bonafidemasks.com/powecom-kn95/
The Vatican excommunicated Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, exacting a severe punishment on the most vociferous internal critic of Pope Francis for refusing to recognize the authority of the pope and liberal reforms made by the Roman Catholic Church since the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s.

TFW they thank my brother for his service but never think to thank my SIL when she hands over a USAA card.
She went to Afghanistan and only recently got to access the VA for the trash fires.
This is also why so many actual veterans who are women and non-white report getting regularly questioned about if they “really served” when they try to use the benefits they’re entitled to.
GOP voter’s performative worship of veterans is very often predicated on those vets being the “right kind.”
'for instance, they could've decided Trump was the lawful king and restored him to the throne! See, they're not so bad. I had lunch with Thomas just yesterday and he tells funny jokes he learned on his trips!'
