Rutibex posted:you could move to china It's open to serious question just how long that would work. I'm sure you've heard about the way Hong Kong's pandemic control effort cratered after BA.2 showed up. The numbers from Guangdong Province aren't good either, though we have far less insight into what's behind that process. The only conclusion I can draw from similar events over the last 9 months is that
But Vietnam, South Korea, New Zealand, and now Hong Kong have convinced me that it possibly can.

I bought "elephant ear savers" to upgrade my gear even further: [this is not me] the problem with "traditional" ear savers is that there's only one point of contact, so either the top straps are still running over your ears and still cutting into them over time, or you run both straps under your ears, but that means the loops are pulling down on the mask, which makes it not nearly as snug as they could be this way, any earloop mask is effectively converted into having halo straps - they're pulling upwards as well as downwards to keep the mask fitting well, but while also avoiding your ears entirely

Tzen posted:this is great and all but if someone is putting this much effort in why not go the double banded disposable route and use n95s/auras/etc? or just half-mask it at that point earloop-KN95s are widely available here, even 3M-branded ones, but for whatever reason it's very difficult to find authentic headstrap N95s (and I do have half-mask respirators - I wore my Honeywell to the grocery store this morning)

Kylaer posted:I've been looking for land. It's really hard to find decent land. I will be looking soon as well. Not a whole lot of money but maybe enough for a small plot somewhere fairly remote. If you learn any tips on finding good land, or at least acceptable fixer-upper land, please share. hot witch divorcee posted:though of course it is a new and exciting way to irritate my nose bridge but everything else does too. The 3M 7502 was doing that to me at first as well, but I realized that I could loosen the halo straps to where it wasn't resting so tightly on my nose bridge and still get a perfectly good seal. The material really seems to do a lot of the work of that, rather than N95s which don't feel assuredly sealed enough unless they're tightly plastered to your face. I kind of wish I'd gotten a model with a speaking diaphragm though, but people here have also said it doesn't help that much.

Nocturtle posted:Repeating some of my recent posts and apologies for the length, but summarized recent PASC studies for my own understanding and thought my notes might be of interest here. Would appreciate if people could point to any large scale studies of PASC impacts I missed. Thank you for the writeup. One thing missing - that I think is extremely important for the understanding of risk - is the age and gender distribution in the Danish study. Contrary to what most would assume, it is mostly middle aged people that get hit by a lot of these - that it is also mostly women either talks to a gender difference (which should be kept in mind with receptive female audiences), or it means that men are less likely to report their issues (in which case the actual percentages are higher...).

My wife has apparently been working in a tiny four person office with a maskless covid positive coworker all week and somehow it didn't spread beyond the one guy. He had to show everyone how to do the RATs too lmao That's the closest covid has come to me. Still have no idea how I haven't got it yet. I'm back to the office as well and mask rules were dropped here like almost everywhere else.

the Philippine Department of Finance has rejected calls to extend the tax-exemption provisions for call center firms by another six months this means that call center offices need to go back to 100% capacity, lest they lose their tax exempt status, effectively requiring that such companies force their employees to end their work-from-home arrangements

Jingoro posted:Women have a higher baseline rate of autoimmunity, so if that's the putative mechanism for a lot of this stuff that tracks. And younger women at that; but it should also be noted that while this is overall true, it isn't true for all sequelae (perhaps indicating a different mechanism for these). I think it is one of the most important pieces of data on PASC; what it is, how it works and likelihood of getting it.

You think all the respirator crew that got positive got it by dhuge glaring security failure such as suck and loving? No! 100% respirator failure from being near a covid person.

I didn't think that I needed an explicit explanation to explain the worlds collective view of dealing with Covid, but I appreciate how you explained it through the lense of individual personal safety. We kind of do have too many people, don't we?
