basically look at what people wore in the 30s and 40s before plastic was really a thing and you'll find kind of the peak of natural technology

Is there any information on the structure of the mutations in the mink cases yet?

Notorious R.I.M. posted:Is there any information on the structure of the mutations in the mink cases yet? No. It is not clear what mutations are in the spike protein, how antibody binding has been measured, or how individuals are known to be infected with that strain and not another strain. For 'cluster 5' anyway - a preprint upthread from September investigated mink / human transmission and found a number of mutations including the D->G one.

I went to a place to buy a bike since my old bike is hosed beyond my ability to repair and got thanked for wearing my mask properly. i assume it's just retail forced kindness but like dang are people actually this bad at it? I mostly see people wearing them correctly or not at all. Bad fits all over yeah but not like anything in that picture

what i don't get is the people who need an opening or have to remove their mask to use a straw i mean it takes like insect ingenuity to realize you can drink with a straw while leaving your mask like 99% in place and effective. give them a bendy straw, and even a dust mite could get it i bet

I mostly see people wearing them correctly or not at all. Bad fits all over yeah but not like anything in that picture I live in Ohio, it's all performative here. I see the sniffer all the loving time. The other day I was at the store and saw an employee pull the mask down and star talking to someone else. I've seen plenty of people who just eschew the mask (including a store employee a few weeks ago). There are people in my office who don't even wear one at all anymore.

i guess i can't really talk though, since i have not yet once tried to drink something while wearing a mask. but that's because i have not consumed a beverage in an enclosed area that isn't my home or car, a level of ingenuity of at least a crow or other advanced corvid
