No

All N95 masks are currently being diverted to medical staff/facilities

Turns out there's like 6 machines worldwide that make the filters for these masks. New machines take 4-5 months to build due to the extreme tolerances required

The company that makes the machines, they are building a 7th machine, but, it's not like we can produce 20% of the world's supply in a week

Remember its all in your head after like a couple days--- any physical after that is absolutely tolerable.
I smoked for 30 years, quit cold turkey in October. The only thing I noticed was I was constipated for like 3 months (lol)
And the cravings were super bad with one activity (art in my case)

You can do this :)

https://www.aliexpress.com/ They have no rules about price gouging so prices are a lot higher than they were 6 months ago, and it'll take a month to get anything to you, but they have them for sale and are shipping them out.

Protips:

1. Pay the extra few bucks for the "ePacket" shipping, or it won't get to you for 2 months.

2. If possible, order from 2 or 3 different stores. Sometimes poo poo gets lost in the mail and stuff. Getting a refund is easy, but getting a refund and then starting over means it takes another month to get your stuff.
2a. Buying a couple different models can be helpful. If you buy the exact same model from 3 stores it's possible they are all dropshipping from the same factory or warehouse.

3. In general look for a shop that has been open more than a year and has good reviews.
vs.

If you want a large amount, like over 1000, https://www.alibaba.com/ has better prices. But no free shipping. Since I've never needed 1000 of anything I haven't used them myself.

for people with old parents, make sure to warn them about online scams. my dad got an e-mail from some random scammy as hell looking site selling masks and sent them $70 (for 20 masks). I'm sure they're either not going to arrive or what will arrive will be useless or dangerous, and now some scumbag in india or whatever has his credit card info.

My mom called me laughing saying some dude told her a corona virus vaccine is in the works and for her to "Reserve her spot now" so she can get the virus in the future.

It was $500 dollars to reserve a spot not saying when or how much the actual vaccine would cost. People are falling for it through through robocalling.

So why is Covid-19 so much more infectious than SARS/Swine Flu, etc? I know it's not that we had our poo poo together as a world with the past few outbreaks.

Why is this one a worldwide pandemic when the others weren't as bad? Just bad luck with how the virus mutated to be especially easy to spread?

A big part of it is that you can catch it and you probably wont show any symptoms until 5 days later, sometimes up to 2 weeks later. And for much of the asymptomatic part, you are able to infect other people, so its easy for you to spread because you dont "feel" sick

I caught it, and lemme tell ya, its bad, real bad, worse then flu, even worse then swine flu.

If you get anything above mild you have no energy, you won't eat anything solid, you won't poop, you won't sleep properly, you cough so much you run your throat ragged because your lungs are turning to liquid. Your temperature rubber bands from blazing hot fever to teeth chattering chills and no amount of external regulation seems to matter. I had blue lips after a 20 minute boiling hot shower.

Paracetamol is the only thing that alleviated the symptoms.

It's this. Lots of people are corvid carriers but don't show symptoms. They infect people and you end up with people that test positive with the virus but never left the country or met anyone who had in the last two weeks before they fell ill.
They never show symptoms either.

And aren't there people who get it and just absolutely never get sick? They're just weird sleeper cell coronavirus folks.

If I'm not mistaken it generally takes a while to show symptoms and you're infectious during that time.

Also, 20% (?) of people never have significant symptoms but are still infectious.

I should mention that I am young, have no health issues, cook my own food, only drink water, don't smoke, exercise and walk a few miles most days, So its not that the young and healthy get "lesser" symptoms, they are just unlikely to straight up die from them.
