FFP2 are the same as KN95s I'm afraid.thank you that is helpful - urbz on other threads have got me thinking about upgrading my masks. At the beginning of lockdown I had some good ones I had recieved at work (K95s?) But I can only wear them for a short time before the slight extra effort of breathing in them gave me an asthma or a panic attack, so I was reluctant to buy more. I am going to look for some FFP2/3s.
Thanks.friendofdorothy i just saw this on the DLR and I thought of you…I’ve not been in U.K. since before c-19, so sorry if it’s common knowledge View attachment 329375
It's been a long time that we have been told to act weird and avoid things, and now we have forgotten how to feel safe
It's weird, my anxiety does not feel directly related to Covid, though it's undoubtedly been a cause of a lot of stress and worry the last couple of years. Although I've had Covid, travel on public transport (buses) to work where I deal with and have even been to a gig, I'm very nervous about going anywhere outside of my usual "bubbles". I skipped an old friend's civil partnership last week as the thought of it made me anxious though it didn't feel like it was the prospect of getting Covid that was worrying me, just the effort of being near people (some of whom I know, many more unfamiliar) in a place outside those bubbles. Weirdly though work is where I caught Covid and where I'm overwhelmingly more likely than anywhere else to catch it, returning a week on Monday is only being dreaded because, you know, it's work.
Forgive me if I’m stretching too far, but it seems from the outside that your specific “work being covid cess pit anxiety” hit a watershed once you actually had covid. Does that seem right? So what perhaps seemed to be a very specific bogeyman lost its teeth, but the underlying reactions and emotions have remained?It's weird, my anxiety does not feel directly related to Covid, though it's undoubtedly been a cause of a lot of stress and worry the last couple of years.

This is a good way of putting it, yes. And I'm sorry I've only just seen this; I hope you didn't think I didn't answer out of huffiness or disagreement spanglechickForgive me if I’m stretching too far, but it seems from the outside that your specific “work being covid cess pit anxiety” hit a watershed once you actually had covid.
