After reaching full vax (June 5), I got arrogant, as a lot of people did. In that time I planned 2 things: one was to have my family visit in September, and the other was to go to an outdoor college football game in October.
I assume both of these things won't happen now and I feel like an rear end for listening to the government instead of common sense

So, story time: Had a lady come into the ER with typical covid symptoms last week, very short of breath. Unvaccinated, tried Bipap but it didn’t work at all. Had to intubations her and she was super hard to bag and was cyanotic.

Her lungs looked awful, worse than your typical covid pneumonia, I mean like concrete, only time I see lungs that bad are severe asbestosis, so I asked family some more questions. Turns out they were nebulizing colloidal silver into her for two weeks.

They insisted we continue doing this and of course I refused, saying it was killing her. They did not believe me and reported me to administration. Luckily they had my back but apparently there’s some dude in the community selling “nebulizable” colloidal silver in the community.

all these models assume the government will stop all commerce and forcibly confine everyone to their homes which is clearly not going to happen. it will just keep getting worse until it runs out of people to infect, which will result in an additional 3.7m deaths, which is more than 100k.

yeah up here in Ontario we had a guy who was doing pretty good modelling of the disease and data tracking but who then would recommend poo poo like "why don't we close all the schools"

we did but this is loving Doug Ford. we're not closing schools because math and science says you should, we'll close them when the hospital CEOs tell him they've started setting up field hospitals

and that's only because his mother in law got it hard March 2020. We'd have thousands more deaths if it wasn't for that

since work is having me fly and the airports/planes won't likely accept a real respirator anymore, I'm looking at upgrading my kn95 game. best bet so far seems to be the 3m aura line?



looks like single size, sold under three main numbers/lines not counting vented versions, all are n95, sometimes available at hardware/home depot/etc, about 2 bucks a pop unless you buy a case of 440 or something

9205+, blue rubber band straps, usa made(?)



9210+, "braided" straps (elastic not rubber?) made in singapore(?)



1870+, red rubber band straps, full-on medical version, "Country of Origin Made in the USA, UK, Singapore, and Canada", FDA approved as surgical, added coating for fluid/blood resistance and spatter, might be better in the rain?



first impressions- they have a soft foam liner for the nose/top seal that smells kinda like pickles at first but works well, a pretty stout bridge wire to bent to fit, full headbands instead of earloops, a slightly more elaborate don/doff setup, and seem like they would fit practically anyone with how they seal and are better for talking in than a kn95.

so far they seem real nice

also they aren't ideal for pandemic use because vented, but top-tier disposable for smoke/fire/emergency is totally the 3m 8293. it's a bit bulky but super comfy wide straps, great fit and seals and sleeps well, weighs nothing, and is full-on p100 rated. owns.

I'm already today dealing with very real consequences of this fascist advance. I live very near NYC and I cannot go and enjoy my friends' company there because I'm not vaccinated and the mandate is live! (No I'm not going to justify why I'm not vaccinated to anyone in this thread - it's a simple personal medical decision, it is my own decision and that's all there is to it, I'm not required to justify or even disclose my medical decisions.) This is a real fascist enclosure. I mean I very, very likely have antibodies but I'm not sure if there's even exceptions for those with natural immunity. I know, certainly, there are no exceptions for people who cannot get vaxxed - that's right The Vulnerable cannot enjoy public life or retail employment in NYC as of 5 days ago and they have said explicitly that no "carveout" exists for them. Also, it's funny a little, you need to have your regular state issued ID and your vaxx proof at the ready - weren't liberals vehemently opposed to ID requirements (for good reason) (because obtaining ID is not very simple for disadvantaged groups)? Bad for voting but fine for, uh, existing in society??

so just for curiosity’s sake, what would you say is your average resting heart rate? now what has it been since you’ve been infected? Wonder if my fitbit would be the first thing to tell me whats up.

Anyone else keep track of that?

As someone who has been doing partial isolation for medical reasons for a decade, you know everyone going crazy over vaccines and/or having to still adhere to the rules after they've been Good Children and had their vaccine?

They've been telling me to die, usually to my face when nobody else is watching, for the past decade, because they think health is a reward for being a good person and therefore me being visibly disabled means I'm a bad person.

Bring on another decade for all I care. We won't learn poo poo, though. Dipshits find someone to blame and refuse to follow basic safety rules. They've been doing this all along. This is how many people don't wash their hands. Humanity is loving disgusting, but at least now I can point at these assholes and I'm not getting gaslit about how I'm misinterpreting "the money we're spending on keeping you alive could be spent on something that improves the lives of normal people".

Orlando's main Muni water treatment plant uses ozone as part of the water treatment process.

Due to Chuds getting sick en-masse in Florida the amount of liquid oxygen shipment has decreased this month similar to what we saw in the India crisis.
