I went for a colonoscopy the other day. They said I needed to take my respirator off for the anesthesia. I kept my respirator and did it without anesthesia.

I mean half the fun of a colonoscopy is looking at the screen.

Every week in florida it's another article about another 4 - 5 officers dying from COV19.

No info is provided on their vaccination status.

I actually had some gas masks laying around that I bought years ago. I bought them so long ago, I don't know who made them and don't have spare filters. I got them from Amazon, so they would probably give me asbestosis. A full on gas mask seems a bit extra tho.



You can get P3/P100 filters for them from reputable safety gear sellers online

"Confirmed a case of community-acquired infection (first case in Japan ) of a new delta strain (B.1.617.2 strain) with N501S mutation" -Tokyo

Medical and Dental University New Coronavirus Whole Genome Analysis Project 8th Report

Release date: 2021.08.30


From the beginning of July to the end of July 2021, the number of cases of Delta strain (B.1.617.2 strain) in the community increased rapidly from COVID-19 patients who had been admitted to or visited the Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital. I confirmed that.

From the delta strain detected in COVID-19 patients in mid-August 2021, we confirmed a case of community-acquired infection of a new delta strain having the N501S mutation, which is a similar mutation to the major alpha strain mutation (N501Y).

As a result of molecular phylogenetic analysis, it was found that the delta strain carrying the N501S mutation is highly likely to have acquired a new mutation in Japan.

Only 8 cases of Delta strains carrying the N501S mutation have been reported worldwide, and this is the first case reported in Japan (GISAID registration data as of August 27, 2021).

Associate Professor Hiroaki Takeuchi, Assistant Professor, Department of Virus Control, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Assistant Professor Kosuke Tanimoto, Genome Analysis Office, Institute for Intractable Diseases, Assistant Professor Yukie Tanaka, Research Core Center, Virus Control The SARS-CoV-2 whole-genome analysis project team derived from inpatients of our university by Haruki Kitamura graduate students and Yoshi Sekiguchi graduate students in the field is Professor Yoshiaki Toku, Associate Professor Akikata Kimura, Specially Appointed in the field of integrated clinical infectious diseases. Infection transmission from COVID-19 patients who have been admitted to or visited our hospital during the period from the beginning of July to the end of July 2021 by joint analysis with the professor and the director of the infection control department of Yoko Nukii Hospital. It was confirmed that the number of cases of community infection of the delta strain (B.1.617.2 strain) with the mutation (L452R), which is feared to increase, is increasing rapidly. In addition, we confirmed a case of community-acquired infection of a new delta strain carrying the N501S mutation, which is a similar mutation to the major alpha strain (N501Y), from COVID-19 patients in mid-August.

Our ability to create change outpaces our ability to adapt to change (in this case by understanding it) . This happens some times in nature and it seems the balance is usually restored via mass extinction.

lol, how is it wearing that for an hour+? I'll have to give the masks a look. I never took them out of the packaging, which was just a clear plastic bag. although i think i did buy them before knockoffs were everywhere on amazon.

But yeah, seriously, about that mask thing. Like, I know the ideal is to keep the respirator on as long as possible and generally I never take it off unless I'm home or outdoors away from people (and in the latter case, that's just to adjust it if needed, or to put it back on after having left the doctor's as noted) but like, yeah. How bad is exposing the respirator to ~indoor air~ for the brief few moments it takes to place it in the bag. Like is it better to just wear a KN95 or something then at the doctor's (which I don't really get a good fit for)
