Just realised on the way home last night that my town (and by extension, I imagine, the majority of college towns) are in between leases on apartments Meaning that the super transmissible variant is coinciding with a bunch of college students doubling up on apartments and crashing on couches until they can move into their new places Then we have ~2 weeks until the dorms open up for incoming students lol lmao

I'm remembering correctly that the incubation period on delta is 3-5 days, right? If so, given that dorms open up a week before classes start lol

lol no loving poo poo honestly, "we'll give you $100" will likely do far more to convince people there won't be a hidden charge involved than any sort of greed carrot how are they doing the money for people who don't have regular addresses?

genericnick posted:Basically if they mandate real masks it's probably better to follow the guidance so as to not be a dick, but if random cloth masks are OK then don't bother thinking about the exhaust port, you're no worse than those. Business Gorillas posted:you can just do what i did and put a cloth mask over the valve if you're worried about it. iirc there's been studies that the exhale valves from respirators do just as much as a mask, if not better right but i'd like to do both for prosocial behavior. my daily wear are the airpop F2299 (i.e., >99% of 2.5nm) that seem to have a very good fit and seal. i still bought that gsv p100 just to have on hand for certain cases where i feel the need to max protect. but i'd like to know if there are better things, like if i can install an N95 aftermarket filter in the exhalation valve or smthing

Petey posted:wait, can someone from elastomere crew tell me if the exhalation valves on these (or other masks) filter too? i don't want to be totally irresponsible to the humans around me someone add this to the motherfucking OP because it's going to get asked again a zillion more times before this is all over:  https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2021-107/default.html The exhaust valve of your respirator is going to provide filtration similar to or better than a surgical mask. From a purely personal perspective, whether you think that's enough as far as protecting other people is entirely up to you. From the standpoint of compliance with whatever establishment might take issue with your respirator having an "uncovered exhaust valve", you might want to have a back-up solution, whether in the form of having a surgical mask set to fit over the valve, or a KN95 in your car or bag as a spare (and obviously make the change-over in the outdoors, away from other people, when possible).

so why is UK dropping off? I mean I guess it has to be that everyone is getting delta and the spike was a lot bigger, just a lot of asymptomatic or minor symptoms not getting tested?
