theres a big manual that 99% of it you dont need to give a poo poo about cuz youre not painting or whatever but do a fit test, read the bit about sterilizing it and make sure its the valveless ones unless you wanna get your germs onto other peeps

The valves are not that bad, you just have to cover them with cloth so you are providing cloth mask level protection to those around you. You could also glue the valve shut, but if you are exhaling through the filter it will get damp and wear out faster.

I like the Honeywell North respirator design because the exhalation valve cover stick out and makes it easy to cover. I used a double sided mounting tape to hold the fabric, then put a rubber band over it for extra security. Easy.

I don't think the smell test is correct for the respirators most people are using, because most types of p100 filter were never intended to stop vapors. Those are tested with bitter or sweet taste or with smoke.

If you do have a vapor filter then go nuts I guess, but if you have one that just protects against particulates, that's fine even though you can smell.

Getting a possible false positive has now put me back into March/April panic mode where I’m basically afraid to go anywhere. I’m super grateful if it wasn’t the real thing but now I dread grocery shopping again and haven’t been on a walk in a few weeks. It took me months to trim down that anxiety... Ugh.

EMT husband of my wife's friend is telling everyone that they should NOT get the vaccine because <insert 50 conspiracy theory reasons>.

He has his Class F driver's license, a first aid course, a CPR course, and graduated high school. He's explaining to us that he's a medical professional, and "has seen this before". We were on a video call with them and I asked what he's seen before and he trailed off.

We're re-evaluating our friendship with them. (I voted sever the instant the call was over).

Someone in my direct working network has Covid. And I was very very near the person for about a week.

I dodged a bullet apparently I got a negative test today and I get another one in three days. My work isn't shutting down and pretty much thanked me for wearing a mask and properly practicing social distancing. I'm pretty much was the only person wearing a mask ever since this pandemic started and now everyone at work is wearing a mask.

I've been terrified of the grocery store nonstop since March. Like it takes me a few hours to decompress after I go.

HR at my last job wrote the wrong date for my covid layoff on my record of employment so it took me 2 months of fighting with the government and my workplace to get my CERB payments :toot:
My HR did the same intentionally. Some employees were furloughed properly, but HR placed me on a 'voluntary' leave of absence that I never agreed to by changing the schedule to say I was on leave. I filed for unemployment immediately and a full month later I got an e-mail from HR saying she received my unemployment claim and was changing my employment status to laid off, figures. Thankfully my state unemployment goes by last day worked so HR pretending I was laid off a month later didn't hurt me.

Jokes on them, I left with negative Paid-Time Off. They wanted to use my PTO days when I had jury duty, I demanded that they give me jury duty pay at 50% salary as required by state law. I knew they would screw me so I used my remaining PTO in the same pay period by calling off. When they docked my PTO for the jury duty after I already used all my PTO it left me with negative time-off. This branch of the company got sued a lot.

We drove past the southernmost point buoy in Key West tonight and there was probably as many, if not more, people than I’ve ever seen there before. About 50% masked, but pretty much no distance between groups regardless. Tourists loving suck, but at least they get infected then gently caress off back to Dumbville before they can spread it amongst the locals at least.

E: the city upheld the 10pm curfew for tomorrow after a lawsuit earlier today. They could make so much money off fining the tourists down here it’s unbelievable.

The US is on the rebound! Not in the good way! You can see from the worldometers graphs of daily cases and daily deaths that the Christmas reporting slump is already getting a course correction, and the deaths especially are getting a sharp rebound. (You can also see a post-holiday reporting slump after Thanksgiving and a smaller one after Labor day.) The last two days set new records for covid deaths in the US which is not a great way to be ending the year.

We also set new records for global deaths these last two days:

The Pfizer vaccine can be stored for up to 6 months in ultracold storage units, or for up to 30 days if packed in dry ice, or up to 5 days in regular refrigeration: https://www.pfizer.com/news/hot-topics/covid_19_vaccine_u_s_distribution_fact_sheet

Which is not great news if your national vaccination rollout plan is experiencing massive bottlenecks which slow everything to a crawl ....
