Also for when I have some more spare cash; what even is my alternative assuming I want a better fit or that this is legit a bad seal? I already have both medium and large, as I said. And I don't, to my knowledge, have an unusual face-shape or a particularly prominent or large nose. Full-face respirator? Like I'm sure there's virologists and painters/construction workers out there with bigger noses and weirder faces then me.

There's variability on which masks fit better. My RU8500 is the worst fitting mask of the 3 I own. There's always a spot by my nose that wants to leak air, and the straps suck to adjust by myself.

My Honeywell 7700 on the other hand, fits great. I never felt any leaks while wearing it, even while running. I haven't worn my new HF800 enough to say the same for it, but it feels great so far.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — who has been criticized for opposing mask mandates and vaccine passports — is now touting a COVID-19 antibody treatment in which a top donor’s company has invested millions of dollars.

DeSantis has been flying around the state promoting a monoclonal antibody treatment sold by Regeneron, which was used on then-President Donald Trump after he tested positive for COVID-19. The governor first began talking about it as a treatment last year.

Citadel, a Chicago-based hedge fund, has $15.9 million in shares of Regeneron Pharmaceutical Inc., according to filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Citadel CEO Ken Griffin has donated $10.75 million to a political committee that supports DeSantis — $5.75 million in 2018 and $5 million last April.

quote:

Klickitat County’s sheriff contracted COVID, but still plans to fight pandemic restrictions

One of Southwest Washington’s most vocal opponents to pandemic restrictions recently contracted COVID-19, was hospitalized and continues to rely on oxygen. But the experience hasn’t changed his stance.

Sheriff Bob Songer said in an interview Tuesday that he doesn’t know how he caught the coronavirus, but in late July he felt an onset of symptoms: a headache, a runny nose and difficulty breathing. His diagnosis led to a five-day hospital stint. Songer said he’s back home now and using oxygen.

When he returns to work — in a couple days, he said — Songer will resume fighting pandemic restrictions that he calls government overreach.

“Bottom line is: I beat it. And I did it without taking vaccinations, without getting my shot, without none of that nonsense,” the 76-year-old sheriff said. “And that’s my decision. I make that decision. Not the government.”

Songer, elected in 2014, has regularly criticized Gov. Jay Inslee and public health mandates like masks and social distancing. In June, the self-described constitutional sheriff promised to arrest any government official who tried to enforce new health mandates.

Bunch of restaurants closed in town due to covid, at least 5, probably more coming over the weekend. Went out to the tourist area to deliver something to a customer and saw more tourists wearing masks today than I think I have all summer. Granted it was only like 6-10 people out of the hundred or so people I saw, but clearly some people are at least noticing how bad everything is.

Still can't wait for this demon summer to end and everyone to gently caress off back to the lower 48.
