FLAG OFF THE FIELD This won’t be the first time a Super Bowl has been played during the pandemic. A year ago, the last time the Kansas City Chiefs traveled to Florida for a Super Bowl, more than 62,000 fans were in the stadium. After the Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers on Feb. 2, 2020, winning quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw footballs from the back of a double-decker bus during a celebration parade a few days later to thousands of adoring Kansas City fans. Nearly all of the players and fans were blissfully unaware that Covid-19 was already spreading in the United States.

Heather Tuttle. Unfortunately, workplace violence in healthcare has continued to increase across various care settings and professions.

The masks were quickly in short supply and needed by health-care workers globally.
Across the globe face masks of all types are now common place, recommended and in some cases, required.
If you want the higher level of protection offered by an N95 or KN95 (the Chinese version) mask here are some places where you can get them online:
N95 Medical Supplies sells a box of 20 respirator masks for $79.99. These masks are certified by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and are made in Ohio. The company says the masks “filter at least 95% of airborne particles that are non-oil based.” They have an adjustable nose piece, a soft shell and lightweight construction. They are disposable.
Ford Motor Co. has designed and created clear N95 face masks so that people with loss of hearing can read lips while protecting themselves from COVID-19, the company announced Tuesday.
A patent is pending for the new design, which is awaiting federal approval to qualify for N95 status from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
The low-cost, reusable respirators may supplement or replace the use of cloth masks that block facial expression and lips from view as mask wearers seek protection from the increased threat of new coronavirus variants. In addition to the hearing impaired, these masks could be used by people who depend on facial expressions to better do their jobs, like teachers.
