Got an email saying my spray from Amazon will be here tomorrow, not in August, maybe that is why it is out of stock now? Also, you only need to wear a mask when going to the store (unless it is outside or you don't think it will be too crowded) then go on living your life like normal. Can't stay out of a restaurant for 2 weeks, even though I have 8 grills, smokers, and other do dahs! -Pure strain boomer

unpacked robinhood posted:Any pointers for KN95 masks in europe ? Amazon is a deluge of bullshit. When you search n95 or kn95 filters on amazon or other stores, you get endless pages of pm2.5 filters. Not a single real n95, and pm2.5 isn't small enough. I don't know how much these filters would help in a reusable mask.

From said document:quote:a person who is exhibiting symptoms of illness should not wear a valved respirator, because exhaled particles may leave the respirator via the valve and enter the surrounding environment, potentially exposing other people. quote:it is not recommended that a person who is exhibiting symptoms of illness wear a valved respirator, because there is a possibility that exhaled particles may leave the respirator via the valve opening and enter the surrounding environment, potentially spreading the disease. Also, frankly, the sarcastic "masks are hard to fit  " thing pisses me off.Yes, they actually are hard to fit. Getting a N95 to fully seal well is a bunch of work as opposed to premium FFP3 rubber seal masks or rubber respirators. Is this an issue for a super market trip? No. Is this an issue for a 8-12 hour shift in a hospital or an ambulance where over the course of the shift the mask has hundreds of chances to unseat or leak? Yes. Also, a lot of medical personnel actually do wear multiple layers of mask and adhesive tape etc. to get proper protection.

Hopper posted:My company has multiple offices in the US and Europe. While there are things that are not ideal in terms of company politics etc. I am glad my CEO doesn't gently caress around when it comes to Covid. We were mandatory WFH worldwide from April, he holds biweekly status briefings for all employees, straight up said back in May we never have to return to an office and can WFH forever, and formed a research group to find out how offices can even work right now and in the future. They then opened 3 offices as trial runs on a voluntary basis. But when people in the Houston office said they were feeling unsafe in their state due to the surge in Texas he immediately shut the office down again no questions asked. I really wish my company was like yours and actually cared about keeping their employees safe.

Oh, and if you do find filters or a reusable mask that's n95/ffp2 they always have valves. So, I have to glue them shut like somebody here proposed? But people will still think you're a valve prick. Although almost nobody knows about this, and since they're the only ones available, I'm certain they will become the norm rather fast now that they're mandatory almost everywhere.

We found out yesterday that we would be back to work with a whole bunch if rules put in place as well as a plan to shift from in person to mixed in person/ online to full online. It sounded okay and the NS Liberal government has done a really good job so far, however I listened to a segment on CBC today with two experts and they said there are major issues with it and we would almost certainly be going back to online. ^^^ Ugh I hope you can rest up and feel better

The Scientist posted:I am having symptoms and found out literally yesterday that my lease won't be renewed and I will have to move out on Friday and have no idea what to do. I was told by a dr that I am presumed-positive so I wonder how I am supposed to handle moving my stuff into a storage unit without becoming a superspreader. Disclaimer: I've worked in property management, but not in your state. Review your Landlord-Tenant Act. Do you have a current written lease? If so, from what I can tell, in SC the landlord does not have to provide any notice for non-renewal of the lease. You could ask them if you can continue to remain on a month-to-month basis for at least 1 more month. If you do NOT have a written lease, or it's not current, it looks like the landlord would be required to offer you 7 days notice for week-to-week tenancy or 30 days for month-to-month.

Fuuuuck I'm sorry you're going through this. My wife is on day 120-ish of the roni and has found that taking ibuprofen and pepcid AC (famotodine) morning and night, and Benadryl at night, helps control the inflammation which makes the shortness of breath and fatigue symptoms lessen significantly. Just mentioning that in case you wanna give it a shot.

Thanks for the love. I haven't had a test, as they weren't available when I went through the first viral stage in March, and as I'd need to have someone administer the test, I'd have to go out or risk someone coming into my plague pit to do the swabbing now. From the symptoms and journey I've had since Feb 28th, it's 100% Covid, and follows the same pattern as others who can't shake the illness. There isn't much to be gleaned from having a test at the moment according to my GP. I will have an antibody blood test after my current 14 day quarantine though.schmug posted:edit: sorry that was rude. crass humor helps me cope. Don't you ever apologise for crass humour.

If money is an issue, make sure you ask how much the antibody test will be, since I don't think those are required to be free like the PCR tests.

So I have a bunch of N95 masks (from my dad, he works in construction and had some left over), but I'm now hearing it's not good to wear them because the CO2 you exhale from the filter breathes your air out to everyone else? Basically, it protects you and no one else if you're sick and wearing an N95, they're saying.

Valve bad, is a good message, UR SELFISH IF U HAVE THE NERVE TO USE A RESPIRATOR, however isn't and makes you an rear end in a top hat. What I want is how bad not having the valve is. That kind of information is always hard to find though (gently caress I can't even find how bad using snow tires in the winter is). Also yeah gently caress you of course I'm selfish my life and my families is more important to me then others.
