there's nothing close to a seal around the nose (bad), and it will fog your glasses (worse)

this is the real problem with any mask that doesn't have the metal band to conform to the nose.

Serious question, if a state/county has in their orders "All public or private gatherings of ten (10) persons or more occurring outside a single
household or living unit are prohibited" am I completely batshit or should the 30+ people staff meetings in a 20x20ft room not be allowed for a business? Especially if a third aren't using their masks correctly.

Definitely wasn't allowed here and in addition small meetings still had to comply with the social distancing requirements (at least 4 square metres per person and at least 1.5 metres between people).

That said, our rules were set at federal and state level, not by local government.

transmission risk dropped 1.5 per cent for every degree Fahrenheit above 77F (25C), they found

this does not seem insignificant. its already in the 80s-90s here, when its 95 every dang day here in the summer thats a 27% drop.

death is certain
keep yr cool

the article says the opposite of that. heat reduces transmission risk, just not at significantly enough measures to not social distance and wear masks and poo poo.

Yeah, people in the south can go do stuff in the summer and probably be fine. It's the people doing stuff in the air-conditioned indoors who are hosed.

So if you want to play sports in the park, go for it. If you want to play magic the gathering at your local game shop, you're taking your life in your hands.

I mean that's great for outdoor poo poo but most transmission is inside buildings and I don't think walmart is jacking up the heat to 100 in the summer.

Yes, a 27% reduction in transitivity means you're 100% safe.

I said "probably". And that 27% is only from the temperature, you're not including the reduction from being outdoors.

Anyone know anywhere you can get cool and fun dust masks (not n95)? I have to wear a cloth mask at my hospital job at all times (only bust out n95 for quarantine ward work) and the ones they're providing are garbage.

I ordered a Dale Earnhardt mask from Teenage Stepdad that's in the mail but I want better masks. The Orbit one listed above looks comfortable.

hey, so, you know how pennsylvania has a county-by-county enforcement level for its shelter-in-place stuff



well it may shock you to hear this, but: several 'red' counties in pennsylvania are planning to ignore the governor's orders and move themselves from 'red' to 'yellow' because they feel like it

Schuylkill County tells governor its going rogue, easing coronavirus restrictions without permission

i'm pretty sure governor wolf's not gonna do poo poo about it, but what do i know

Even if a vaccine is developed, tons of people will be killed by COVID-xx every year because:

1. Tons of people who are immunocompromised can't get the vaccine
2. There is a significant anti-vaxx population in the USA to begin with
3. Refusing to get the vaccine is going to be a partisan political marker, which will augment #2 in hilarious ways.

It's gonna be great.
