I know this is just hearsay and all but as far as masks go my doctor partner has been instructed by the health department that surgical masks have a 30 min lifespan. After that they're useless. We're not so short changed here that we need to think about sterilising them but if you're wearing a mask to keep others safe 30 min is your max before needing to wash them.

After this point you will have bacteria growth that is staying there and getting expelled every time you breathe out. Social distancing and hand washing is nearly infinitely more important.

Not wearing a mask and keeping your distance is so much more important than any home made mask will ever be. Unless you're in the belly of the beast it is really just security theatre. Stay safe and don't trust anyone to be clean, mask or no mask.

Yeah but if I am wearing a cloth mask I can't shoot microscopic virus carrying water droplets into you mounth and nose nearly as well if I am without mask. So in the interest limiting the virus's effectiveness by even the smallest amount is gonna count for something I will never be able to quantify or know. Being totally unable to know if I am carrying the plague I wish to establish "We all wear masks cuz gently caress it why not" and our efforts result in millions wearing masks only save like five lives then I am totally loving chill with that. Hell if it only stopped one death in reality I would still loving do it because toilet paper is not how I cope with this bullshit. What can I do? I can totally sit here on my rear end typing up thease shitposts on the internet for months if I had enough food and the lights were still on. But I am gonna have to go outside at some point to fix those issues so garbage cloth mask it is.

wearing a mask is good though

my understanding was that masks are not as useful if the person is wearing it wrong or is contently ramming their fingers under the mask and suckin them and rubbing their eyes and poo poo like that lol but even then at least they can still stop some droplets from flying out of their mouth when they talk or yell truimap

if im not mistaken, the anti mask stuff has been in the context of there not being enough masks for healthcare workers, so we might as well save the ones we have stocked up for them, instead of some random dude who might not even use it right. But it could still be helpful even when worn by the random dude

You can expel virus from the mask into the wild while containing the current cough / sneeze. Think of it like playing snooker. Sure you may have just hit the red ball but it then hits the black ball and game over.

No you go gently caress yourself, you literally said all you’re posting is hearsay, and it’s completely stupid and wrong. If you’ve got the guidelines you claim then post them and I’ll happily discuss how they’re wrong but the onus is on your to back up you *literal hearsay* if you want it taken as anything more than the dangerous horseshit it is. Literally all you’re saying is that people shouldn’t wear masks anyway because they’re “completely useless” which is, I have to emphasize, STUPID HORSESHIT.

Maybe is too late for everyone on lock-downs, but Xbox One have a really amazing game pass with lots of good titles.

They recently added Nier Automata, that is a cool game with essentialist undertones. I played it on PS4, but never got to finish it.

I think this is the moment for that.

Another great game to play (I don't remember if is on the game pass, but is everywhere) is Witcher 3. A very adult game with many stories to tell and locations.

Today will be a good day to play videogames.

masks are useful beyond a short time span, your post is entirely wrong. it is bad to REUSE them, because they might be contaminated on the outside, and handling them might expose you to it, but its better than nothing. and it is absolutely not security theater for non-medical workers to wear them. masks mostly just straight up block the primary transmission of this disease, which is respiratory droplets, even cloth ones. if most people start using masks it will absolutely drop the R0 and save lives.

When I say "the health department" I mean the literal Australian Health Department. The people that keep our whole countries (and a whole bunch of NZ) rules / guidelines going along. I thought it was pretty obvious from my posting history that it was where I'm from and what I'm talking about. This isn't chuddy mcmayor from bumfuck nowherestan information.

I don't have links to things because guess what, poo poo changes every day and I'm passing off the most current information that is being given to our doctors as relayed to me. Calling it hearsay is my way of saying "this is something I heard" and I respect the gently caress out of the source so relayed it to the thread. It's not a tweet I read, a post I saw or some poo poo that I overheard from a social distanced conversation. It is literal, national, health guidelines for our public health doctors in Australia. If you have a better source go nuts but this isn't just a whatever post.

Literally all I'm saying is 30 min is the time limit on wearing a mask before it needs to be 100% sterilised. They're not useless but they have an upper bound on effectiveness.

in fact it is better to use one mask for a long time vs switching them out every 30 mins like that person was saying, because switching out masks means you are touching your face a lot more when one of the big advantages of a mask is you arent directly touching your nose or mouth.

quote:

The CDC has released guidelines for mask use amidst the shortage. The organization doesn't recommend cleaning masks, but it does recommend these practices for safe reuse:

Extended use is better than reuse, so it's better to leave a respirator on for the whole shift rather than taking it on and off. That's because it minimizes the amount people are touching their faces, potentially allowing a virus to enter their body. The CDC guidelines say that there's no way to predict a safe number of reuses, so medical professionals should use their judgement.

Washing your hands is more important than a mask. Keeping distance is more important than a mask. Wash your hands before putting on or taking off a mask. This isn't rocket science it's just understanding risk. A mask is not a moderate term solution. Practice better everything else and then add a mask in as needed.

west texas oil (wti) is just the name of the american oil product in financial markets. its not related to the price in actual texas gas stations.

this is more for the number thread but oil is not going up just because of the trump tweet. opec has called an emergency meeting for monday and putin is making noise about agreeing to production cuts. so oil supply is going back to normal (much less than now)
