Something I hold onto that keeps me from going down that road is breaking down the numbers. I assume Covid is going to infect about 70% of the population, with a death toll probably between 0.5 - 1%. Which is loving horrific when you look at the US as a whole. But in my area of florida, that works out to about 2,000 deaths across the county at the upper end. So all I have to do is not be one of those 2000.

you don’t have to run faster than COVID, you just have to run faster than the chud beside you. I like it.

Cool thanks I got some 60923 cartridges too. They're still in stock on Amazon btw.

What I'm wondering now is if the 7093b cartridges have better airflow and I should just wait until they come and use them first? I've used similar cartridges to the 60923s for horticultural/pesticide application work and they were a bit restrictive.

Let's get some freshly printed federal dollars for our people. You a Lyft or Uber driver? You got an apartment that could conceivably be rented as an air bnb? Does your mom have a second home? Can you say you've ever cut the hair of someone in exchange for money? Even if you're not licensed to do so? Given someone a back rub? Did you or your friend or family function as a life coach? A pet groomer or trainer? Did you babysit a dog?

The government is issuing treasuries which are purchased by the federal reserve, and this freshly printed money can be had. They can't give us the stimulus we need, but they can give it through small business administration disaster subsidies.

I've personally approved and transferred tens of thousands of dollars to the bank accounts of people who are far less worthy than anyone reading this post. We should secure this money.

His boss's daughters held a big double wedding 3 weekends ago, the boss got sick a week later, the boss came in to the office unmasked while my dad was there doing his admin stuff to gather everyone around and announce that he'd tested positive and would need to work away from the office for a week or so.

My dad got sick last weekend, fever, cough, bad body aches, sleeping every minute he's not in motion. Talked to him today and he was out at his jobsite climbing over a couple trailer loads of materials taking inventory. Won't test because a positive result will mean that per the company's contract with the client he'll need to stay off the jobsite and will get behind in his project.

Can someone let this essential employee goon working in post-secondary plaguelands know what the best respirators are?

Because lol if anyone thinks social distancing in kitchens is a thing

I like the Honeywell North designs because the way the exhalation valve on the bottom sticks out makes it a little easier to cover with cloth to provide a polite amount of exhalation filtration for your filthy breath. A rubberband should work to hold a bit of cloth or filter material. When I was looking around they also seem a few dollars cheaper than the 3M masks with similar features. They are both perfectly respectable companies so I'm not sure why.


I haven't tried it myself, but if you need to talk a lot at work the Honeywell North® RU8500 Half Mask has a speech diaphragm that makes it easier to be understood. You should be able to find this one for around $60 plus filters. This one is hard to find in stock though.


https://www.honeywellsafety.com/Products/Respiratory_Protection/Honeywell_North%C2%AE_RU8500_Half_Mask.aspx




If you don't need to talk much and want to save a few bucks (or you can't find the 8500 in stock anywhere) the Honeywell North 7700 Series Half Mask seems good. It's silicone to make it comfortable to wear all day. This is the one I ordered, it hasn't come yet. Widely available for around $40 plus filters.


https://safety.honeywell.com/en-us/products/by-category/respiratory-protection/air-purifying-respirator-apr/7700-series-half-mask



If you are poor as hell and/or only need it for short trips, the Honeywell North 5500 Series Half Mask may be right for you. Shop around and you should be able to find this one for around 20 bux plus filters. It's basically the same design as the 7700, but is made with cheaper elastomer instead of silicone.


https://safety.honeywell.com/en-us/products/by-category/respiratory-protection/air-purifying-respirator-apr/5500-series-half-mask


You'll also need filters. I ordered the 7580P100 particulate filter. P100 is as good as it gets, and I liked the hard cartridge protecting the filter. They also have P100 pancake filters which don't stick out so far if you need to stick your head in tight spaces. The P100 filters seem to run around $20 a pair, but there is a ton of variability in price.




When shopping, look around a bit. I found that amazon had higher prices than some other online retailers, probably from assholes buying up anything cheap and relisting it "at what the market will bear". Amazon also has a problem with counterfeits, there are a lot of reviews from folks who say they got fake filters. Or opened filters. :stare:

The established industrial/scientific supply stores aren't jacking up prices as much, and have long-term supply lines for genuine products. Maybe I'm naive, but they seem less likely to gently caress over their customer base for a quick buck than an anonymous reseller on amazon or a fly-by-night pandemic specialty shop.

Young children are exempt from the fast, but high schoolers can absolutely go without drinking for eight hours in a climate‐controlled environment.

Is this actually a good idea? Nah. Shut it down.

It is, however, much less of a bad idea than letting the poor babies have their snackies because otherwise the terrorists malignant chemistry wins.
