SuperKlaus posted:And I cannot find conclusive information on whether my 3M 6000 series half mask exhalation valve provides source control. I do note that 3M sells an exhalation valve filter accessory. So, until I obtain that accessory, I had best manage to get a cloth mask on over my 3M 6000 series half mask, for others' sake, correct? Don't worry so much about it. I have absolutely no intention of filtering my exhale valve. If other people are wearing masks that are properly protective, it doesn't matter if my exhalation is filtered or not, they don't have to worry about catching covid. If they aren't wearing masks that are properly protective, they're declaring to the world that they're fine with catching covid, and any complaint about my exhale valve is purely performative.

I wonder if the larger a business is the more likely they are to put in place a real (no napkin scrawl exemption) mandate because it’s an easy way to fire for cause a portion of their workforce that probably trends older and higher paid and also are discipline problems in general. But smaller places are more likely to just give in either because the owner is a chud themselves or because they think they can’t afford to lose key people.

Vaccine hesitancy among pro athletes + a variant that has high immune escape so natural immunity won't cut it + everyone in incredibly close proximity in huge arenas is going to be a thing, let me tell you.

I don’t bother putting anything over my exhale valve any more. Remember when they insisted that cloth masks were to protect others? Well no one is protecting others at all, so gently caress ‘em. Would be cool to be able to wear an elastomeric on an airplane and be able to go somewhere someday, but I’m guessing even those MSA masks with no exhale valve would be shut down for looking too weird. Stereotype posted:it's funny that trump was 100% right when he predicted that covid would be declared over the moment he lost lmao Lol yeah. We will never have a good President, so I can only hope we get another funny one.

I think we both work Def/Aero I’m at a big Defense national and like all of these, they can’t compete with tech/bio/finance in the cities, don’t pay enough to keep young talent in chud-land, so my take is they were loving relieved to get rid of it. Any other situation then yea it’s trying to buy out the older people with pensions, but I’m not seeing that yet I don’t think.

My company has a mandate but if you declined to attest to your status it's just implied HR will contact you 1-on-1. This would presumably let them manage all the exceptions/accommodations privately. And it means anybody else has no way of knowing how many of their co-workers have exemptions or how often they're actually testing. At least they re-enforced masks to meet CDC guidance... 3 months after we reached the high transmission status in this county.

Mr Bedford discusses what's necessary for Delta+Omicron to co-exist: https://twitter.com/trvrb/status/1470420195567030274 Very strange to hope that Omicron is in fact able to fully and permanently displace Delta. Would actually be a very good outcome, suggesting a booster based on Omicron would also help with the other variants. That's a whole 3-4 months additional protection!

Didn't Australia's zero-COVID policy ultimately fail because no-one thought the limo guy driving international arrivals to their quarantine hotel would get infected? You honestly couldn't make this all up.

From the same bozos who couldn't make up their minds if booster shots made sense. That drug only had 30% efficacy in reducing severe COV19, not to mention the risk of mutagenic side effects.

I went to the grocery store here in MN last night, and there were but a handful of people wearing masks. Cases and deaths started to skyrocket a month or two ago. loving Minneahonkies, wear your masks indoors and stop congregating at your Taco John's suck n fucks. https://www.medcitybeat.com/news-blog/2021/mn-hospitals-plead-for-publics-help-amid-surge-in-hospitalizations
