Yes, so you should either get covers (which I haven't so I can't help you there) or something like these from 3M:


These are great. Less bulk and heft than the gas carts, less resistance when inhaling, and protective of their filter elements.

They’re designed so that asbestos remediators can wear them into the decontamination shower, so rain isn’t going to faze them.

For a while the prices were jacked up, but now they’re back in line with the rest. 3M part № 7093 is the U.S. equivalent.

Melbourne just had four days of zero new cases and zero deaths and the lockdown restrictions have been mostly lifted (and will be eased off even more in a few days) but we still had a huge anti-lockdown rally today.

The discontent over pandemic responses in general has been a great organizing opportunity for reactionaries all around the world. It's almost a key plank of the Republican party platform at this point. Kind of funny they're trying it in Australia, where the responses worked and everyone knows it.

Also I'm really glad NZ and Australia eliminated the virus again, it was depressing even for outsiders to see those outbreaks after people had gone through the first lockdowns.

I am not sure I understand your result. It says both detected and not detected, or does "Your Value" = "Detected" mean you have a job?

They make them very hard to read, but that's a positive result. It's also saying "normal value is 'not detected'", which must be a standard part of their test result form, so that you can determine whether you're iron is good or bad.

They really are, and anyone living in a rainy climate should consider these over the 2135's (the round particle filters). They are more expensive yes, but filters last a long time when they are unexposed like this and you aren't actually using them in an industrial setting.

What's the recommendation for attaching a surgical mask to the front of a 6000 series 3m respirator? There doesn't seem to be a way to ziptie it - im wondering about just making a surgical mask's earbands as tight as possible and looping those around the cartridges?

there's an infinitely remote chance that because birx did a 180, president biden will actually do something resembling a covid response to set himself apart from tormp

keep in mind, "do something" will probably be some useless garbage like giving everyone a coupon for $5 off of pots and pans so they can bang them together to honor the applebees staff

the only thing i can see Biden allowing is some sort of federal backstop for municipal bonds to keep them out of junk territory, so that cities could issue more to cover covid related tax shortfalls . theoretically with that backstop cities could lock down again (they wont)

and even then he's done so much austerity signalling it seems pretty unlikely

Could be up to 6 months or more if that one study about lasting t cell immunity is true

Oh, I should mention for respirator crew: digikey has the 3m hf-802 back in stock: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/3m/HF-802SD/11487716. I'm really tempted to pull the trigger, but I already bought an envomask and I really can't afford to keep blowing my budget on masks

Does anyone have recent numbers of how many corona cases end up in the hospital? I remember the earliest Chinese numbers came out to something like 20%. As a comparison, though I'm aware that it's not the same number, about 3.5% of the cases in my country are hospitalized. Without thinking too hard about time periods and just looking at the change in overall cases I'd say 5% ish?
The CDC has this:

So around 5-10%?

You'd probably need to look at hospitalizations as a multiple of deaths to be honest. Like peak new hospitalizations vs peak deaths. Doing anything off cases is going to be problematic because testing has varied so much in space and time

It's a mystery, because instead of taking the incredible opportunity to conduct the greatest pandemic research study in human history, American government decided it'd be better to just pretend it doesn't exist and use it as a weapon against political opponents to own the libs.

i saw cspam drag a covid doc bc he’s voting biden. there are countless leftists who do far more actual on the ground organizing of workers voting for biden. bfd

it doesnt matter. voting right now doesnt really matter much right now. the thing that matters—the only thing that gets us out of this mess is mass organizing of workers along class lines. we’re not even in the nascent stages of that organization. the labor movement is moribund, we have no class consciousness.

i dont have much hope at all things can be turned around. im not doing anything to help. could i? should i? probably. one thing i do acknowledge, fully and wholeheartedly: posting not only doesnt matter, its probably making things worse.

who gives a drat who you vote for? “youre scum for voting biden!” lol ok, and what are you doing to foment revolution from your covid hole, comrade? its all performative virtue signaling nonsense—very lib mindset.

some cspammers are the other side of the coin to lib mindset brain rot. all performative, no action. (im not professing to be any better! i just acknowledge how powerless i am and that im doing nothing to make things better...)

this is all just posting. we all acknowledge how screwed we are. just sit back, chill, and laugh. :)
