You may have heard that the government is sending out high-quality N95 masks to help stop the spread of the highly transmissible omicron variant of the coronavirus. A few days ago the Mask King of New Jersey stopped by the local CVS at Hickory Square in Chatham Township and sure enough, they have them. Right now, anyone who wants some can get three Dräger X-plore 1750 N95 masks just for asking at the front of the store or the at the pharmacy counter. Brilliant!

The Mask King of New Jersey was thrilled to get his hands on these masks, and this past week he took them out for a trial run at the 99 Ranch market in Hackensack, NJ.

The omicron wave may have finally passed us, and soon mask will not be required in our schools, but there's little doubt that other variants will emerge in the future. It's safe to say that high-quality masks will remain a reliable tool that many people will continue to rely on to increase their protection for the foreseeable future.
