if you have to work pretty hard to pop the seal, dont worry about it. Its more intended for normal breathing checks.

Thanks. And yeah, like I said, I get a negative seal just fine, and during normal breathing/operation I don't notice any air seeping that I can tell, and likewise my faceshield isn't fogging up. So I assume I'm safe in assuming it's me being understandably paranoid but getting a good seal.

Thanks everyone. You're the best.

That's cope, sorry. The black death went through several horrifying mutations during its last rampage through Europe, which lasted over 300 years. The asymptomatic spread is why we are hosed, those numbers out of China are horrifying. There's literally no pressure on it to become less deadly to evade detection because it already evades detection and spreads silently two days before the onset of symptoms, which are the usual signal to humans that something is wrong. It's already moved on before you know you're hit.

jetz0r posted about it earlier, but Marek's disease is a good example of what can happen when a highly contagious virus encounters a vaccine that prevents serious illness, but does not neutralize the virus fast or well enough to stop infection & transmission.

From our dear Rubby:

Most people find PPE that is actually responsive to a global pandemic of an airborne respiratory virus incredibly unsettling. We have, as a population, become complacent that What Was is what always Will Be and the suggestion that life has changed and that change is required of us in order to meet the challenges of the day is met with unrelenting cognitive stress. Easier to narrow the locus of perception to that which allows one to continue as if the status quo has not changed. By choosing to don an elastomeric respirator one is choosing to embody Death in the eyes of those people. Not in the micro, the individual concept of lives lost but in the macro, the collective Death of the mind, the Death of comfort, the Death of ignorance. The one who is willing to stare unblinkingly in the abyss and whisper "Not Today". To wear an elastomeric respirator in public is an aggressive, unyielding reminder that this is Not Normal and that they are Not Safe; that they had a choice -- and in the final accounting... they chose wrong.

reading security Twitter where people are constantly like, hey all, going to take a bit off between jobs to recharge! 💙💚💛 is particularly brain breaking.

imagining no income and losing employer-supplemented insurance for months at a time as something spiritually fulfilling? nope sorry even the possibility is god drat terrifying

Also like how does a normal person expect to just recover professionally from just taking a few months off? I'm lucky enough that I have enough savings that I could keep food on the table for a while but there's no way in hell that I could expect to just walk in to a comparable job after a few months. That's not how it would work, anywhere would see the gap in my work and tell me to gently caress off.

two fellow teachers and I freaked out in the parking lot after work today; sucks to freak out but we felt relieved that someone else actually seemed to be paying attention.

we have had fully virtual remote PD (professional development) meetings all week but we’re supposed to see (masked) kids on Monday. why is it safer to meet each other virtually but not the children? Jfc. oh and there is brand new curriculum to “make up for lost time” so we can’t use many previous lessons from years prior lol. group work is a mandatory part of the curriculum. I will have six units when I normally teach four. tbh a lot of it sounds great, but for a year that isn’t going to be full of infectious disease outbreaks.

anyway I sold the other teachers both on getting KN95s and maybe an air purifier/cleaner of some kind, so that’s a win. We are talking about quitting.

I’m not sure where to draw my line for quitting tbh. should probably figure that out. Pretty much every teacher I know has it baked in to make the best of a bad situation; we are born suckers for more work.

“making up for lost time” is management brain drivel lmao

My son (14) got his first Pfizer shot today and I took my first Pfizer shot (already had J&J). Get home and get a call from the school district.

Due to the rising COVID numbers, Simpson County School District will offer a virtual learning option until September 30th. You may contact your child's school to complete a Request for Virtual Learning form. Parent's will have until Wednesday, August 25th to complete and return the form.

Thank You for your continued support during these difficult times. The safety and education of our student's will remain our top priority!

Please contact your child's school for details.

This school district started on 07/28. After the first week they shut down a elementary school. The next week they shut down a high school. This Monday when I picked my boy up, he said in one class there were only 5 people total including him, and one class had 15 people out.

Good job MS.

I am not particularly learned about biology as I've often stated in the bad thread, so this may be my ignorance showing - but then wouldn't the real game changer here and the only real reliable method of getting this pandemic even remotely under something approximating control be - barring the miraculous invention of the most powerful vaccine ever imagined - to have a less-invasive-than-nasal-swab test that gives rapid results - 15 minutes or less - and which is reasonably accurate/tends towards false positives rather than false negatives.
It seems the only realistic approach is aggressive testing, contact tracing, and isolation. Which, lol, we ain't ever gonna do, but it feels like then in light of the insane facts, our best hope is aggressive testing, and the best way of making that a reality is by having a form of testing most people can be subjected to regularly without them whining about it (too much).
