Alcohol and a spraybottle are all you need to disinfect the reusable masks. Wipe the mask down with 90% and a paper towel, wipe your face around the mask as well. Pull off mask, remove filter media, spritz good with alcohol and let dry.

use 70% not 90%

So uh, where should a dumbass american who doesn't know how to sew (me) buy one of these fabric reusable masks? etsy? amazon seems like a wasteland of sketchball aliexpress crap. speaking of, any chance the surgical masks from ali aren't just made from paper towels and butchers twine? (lol)

Etsy has tons, yeah.

As for ali, the stuff disposable surgical masks are made from normally is probably cheaper than butcher's twine. In normal times bulk orders of surgical masks cost less than 10 cents each. The non-woven material is cheap as hell. People would notice right away if you just made them from tissue paper instead.

The same thing happened today in Arizona. Our scumbag Republican governor ordered a lockdown but salons, golf courses, parks, churches etc are still allowed to operate. Even his fellow Republican state politicians are criticizing him for it.

Pool cleaners seem like they should be able to practice good physical distancing at least. And if idiots kept using their unserviced pools it could become a public health issue.

Guys if you're lucky enough to be able to stay home, please please do so. Please encourage others to do the same if possible.

No, you probably won't get it. But of enough idiots go about their day as normal then some of you probably will. Then they're going to pass it on.

Even if you think you're safe, it's not about you in particular.

So I took my temperature three times in the last hour.. First reading was 99.3, second was 99.5, third was 99.4

I take Adderall and I haven't done any exercise or anything, so I'm hoping this is just a side effect of my amphetamine meds as inducing hyperthermia is a known and common side effect for ADHD medication.

Really hoping that's the reason and it not being because the rona finally got me otherwise you'll be adding another death to the Washington State statistics as if this is the rona, I've already given it to my gf and she'll die 100% as someone that's immunocompromised, asthmatic, and a type 1 diabetic.

That’s a pretty drat normal temp unless you’re doing an axilary one on yourself. 98.6 isn’t actually the “normal human temperature”, thats from a terrible study that’s like a hundred years old.

I recently learned there is a decent beer/wine delivery place within 5 miles of me and ordered over the weekend to see how it works. The delivery guy called me and said "let's do contactless delivery, so just leave your ID at the door," so I immediately went to do so and he was already there. He had a look of panic as he quickly retreated, looking over his shoulder while saying "it's ok, you're 21"

i washed all the cans and bottles. Oh and i tipped well. Thanks pandemic holocaust beer delivery guy.

I guess in theory delivery is marginally safer than going to a greasy gas station, but it is also more than twice as much plus they subbed my miller lites with bud lite and some cool looking brown ale I never heard of with Brooklyn Brown which is objectively the worst brown ale, but they did give me extras and this is the Road Warrior apocalypse futur so fair enough.

This is why I've been checking my temp, my wife's temp, and my kids temps daily (forehead point and click thing).

quote:

Scientists have also tested whether masks reduce infection in randomized controlled trials. Results from these studies are inconsistent: Many fail to find definitive support for mask wearing, but a few are somewhat encouraging.

Because so many trials find only a marginal benefit or none at all, some health agencies have decided against recommending masks to the general public. But the inconsistency of randomized trials does not negate the robust physical evidence that masks block respiratory droplets and microbes. Rather, these trials underscore that the efficacy of a mask depends on how it is used. In a study of 143 households in Sydney, people who diligently wore surgical masks as instructed reduced their daily risk of respiratory infection by an estimated 60 to 80 percent, but fewer than half the participants kept up the demanding routine.

Translation: We picked the studies we liked that support our idea even though they were a small minority, its clearly common sense.

Also, they dug in on the "Asian countries wear masks ergo masks work" which completely contradicts the early mentioned point that wearing masks alone isn't effective. Pretty sure Korea and Japan's social and govt health polices like shutting down asap, mass testing, contact tracing etc. were a bit more significant then just "covered mouth for when cough"

This is why it becoming nigh impossible to try and explain science to people. Some journo or twitter persona summarizes a bunch of complex medical studies into some buzzworthy click-bait and suddenly they are speaking truth to power, anyone questioning the validity of the click-bait is suddenly forced to provide 10 perfect examples to disprove it or they're laughed at.

"Oh yeah, so why do healthcare workers need masks? Ergo I'm right all humans need masks at all times" the hoi polloi can never understand the idea that not everyone is living the exact same existence with the exact same set of risks and benefits and shockingly someone in a high risk situation needs something at the expense of someone in a low risk situation.
