Of course, by protecting the wearer from contagion, they do in fact protect others around him because he is less likely to become a carrier. But that's hardly news to anyone.

Comfy Fleece Sweater posted:Oh poo poo, that’s good to know, I don’t want to kill some grandmas It's easy to wrangle a medical mask over the vent on most respirators. Loop the ear loops over the filter cartridges and tie it off. There is some debate over whether it is useful or merely "virtue signalling" but it's cheap and easy so why not? jetz0r posted:

So I'm traveling to Uganda in two weeks as part of a surgical team. I just got my second dose of Moderna today. Has anyone found data on the level of protection against the SA variant? All I've been able to find is 6 fold decrease in neutralizing titers, and earlier waning immunity.

Are the respirators comfortable to wear while wearing glasses? I'm highly considering buying one to prepare for the variants.

Mine is fine, the silicone is soft enough to sort of press the nose part of the glasses into the nose part of the respirator. The only problem I have is I'm old and wear bifocals, and since the glasses sit just slightly higher on my nose the line of the bifocals isn't in the right spot.

I rigged up my VOC respirator with a surgical mask covering the vent back in May. After an hour or so the weight really started to bother my nose. But it was nice not having my glasses fog up. As of today, both my 80-something parents have gotten their first Pfizer dose. Hooray! Now my wife can start ramping up the pressure for them to start babysitting...

Medical pioneers such as Alois Alzheimer, Burrill Bernard Crohn, George Gilles de la Tourette and Charlie Gonorrhoea.

I have a 3M 6900 full-face respirator that I use when grocery shopping (no curbside in my small Northern Ontario Town). The exhalation valve is pointed downwards, and that helps, but I actually modded it so that the inside of the valve has a P-95 circular filter in it, fitted over a 3D printed ring, with a rubber seal around the outside of it. I usually rock P100 filters that I use when working with solvents and other nasty stuff. What I'm breathing out is better filtered than what most doctors are breathing in. Bought it for woodworking (eye and lung protection) so after Covid is done (knock on wood) hopefully it will just be hanging up in my garage. I even made a case for it because I have too much time on my hands.

CarlosTheDwarf posted:I get the sense alot of people don't realize Spaniards are white. There has historically been so much racism that does not relate to your personal definition of "race" that it's not even funny. (To be clear, I'm saying that Americans may have one definition of who can be a victim of racism, and other cultures may have their own definition. Indeed, you'd be hard pressed to find two people in America who agree in detail on what exactly constitutes a particular race. In the context of early-20th-century Europe, I certainly agree it makes sense to partly blame racism for calling it the Spanish Flu. The other contributor is geopolitics.) (Let me tell you about the racism between the various white people of Yugoslavia. No, please don't let me, it will take all week...)

So the crazy QAnon wife of my cousin in Florida who I bother all the time on Facebook refuting her conspiracies got so mad that I called out her recent public non mask photos in a packed restaurant has decided to retaliate...by emailing my boss at the hospital I work at demanding they fire me for public harassment and racism, as well as inciting panic over covid despite a 99% survival rate. She is white. I am white. But she brought up my black wife in the email as reasons for my "slandering of white women from an obviously racially motivated, BLM driven view". My boss replied asking if she is short on masks because they can ship her some lmao.
