Re: Akademy 2022 Covid-19 Mitigation
+1 for changing the policy to accept N95 and N99 masks as well. Speaking personally as a USA-ian, all I have is N95; the FFP2/3 stuff isn't generally available here because it's not a relevant standard here.

We decided to specify FFP2/3 because those are the only ones certified for use in Europe given that n95 is certified by a widely recognized national authority, and that numerous studies have demonstrated that the two types are substantially equivalent wrt covid, insisting on ffp2 is pointless pedantry. this is especially glaring given the uncertain situation regarding venue staff. People shouldn't go to any trouble trying to get FFP2 or FFP3 masks as we will have plenty available some randomly picked mask will almost certainly have a worse fit than a model a person has been using for a while, thus completely defeating any theoretical advantages ffp2 may have over n95 (which, again, it doesn't).
