I don't like wearing a mask everywhere, and just because I'm more than glad to comply with the rules for my health and the health of others doesn't mean I want to wear a mask forever. I felt great at the beginning of the summer when we could take them off because the vaccines truly did provide for all intents and purposes immunity from the old virus. That was awesome, it felt wonderful. I'll keep wearing my mask per public health regulations, but when Delta dies down and we get our boosters and hit 80%, 90% vaccination rate and the public health authorities say "alright guys you don't need them anymore" I'll sure as hell be glad to put it away.

Zarin posted:The OP mentions "knock-off" N95/KN-95s. Wirecutter's articles on masks are pretty solid. Basically they suggest buying certified medical-style masks that fit your face. While buying from Amazon doesn't necessarily mean your masks are illegitimate, the best way to avoid counterfeits is by purchasing from a known retailer that stands by their product rather than an anonymous wholesaler: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/where-to-buy-n95-kn95-masks-online/ If you want a specific suggestion, Bona Fide Masks imports Powecom KN95 respirators in a range of different sizes and fits: https://bonafidemasks.com/face-masks/kn95-respirator-face-masks/ Professor Beetus posted:IK note: Much like certain campaign promises, it sounds like admins may be a bit gunshy about approving loads of certs. I can definitely get av changes for around 5 folks and I'll see what I can do about that plat request. I don't want anybody to feel left out, so if I'm not able to come through for you, I will try and do you a solid in the future. Typical shitlib, I know.

oh sidenote, the issue right now isnt covid in most areas, its staffing. Every hospital is basically code omega because the hospital is full from normal patients that havent been taking care of themselves. Then add in the burnout and extended ratio staffing and people are leaving on masse because we get paid poo poo, we get treated like poo poo, and we have no help. Covid just is the icing on the cake as poo poo adds up. We have no lab staff, we have no nurses, we have no CNAs, we have no RT. Literally we are at a breaking point nationwide on this poo poo and no one wants to acknowledge that healthcare is an empty shell with no one working. But we gotta keep doing nonessential surgeries!!!!@!@Adghijas;gjsagtjk hagjhiusjhgtsagjka fshahjkgajagafshhagfs

Vox's Antivax Bookshelf I'm going to read and provide summaries and commentary on books covering the antivax movement for this thread, crossposting with the pseudoscience thread. These are not necessarily all going to be good sources- some may be bad commentaries or cash-ins, or even books by antivax authors. I'm happy to take suggestions for additional books to read. This post will serve as my index. Currently planned: Stuck: How Vaccine Rumors Start -- and Why They Don't Go Away by Heidi J. Larson The jacket posted:Vaccine reluctance and refusal are no longer limited to the margins of society. Debates around vaccines' necessity - along with questions around their side effects -- have gone mainstream, blending with geopolitical conflicts, political campaigns, celebrity causes, and "natural" lifestyles to win a growing number of hearts and minds. Today's anti-vaccine positions find audiences where they've never existed previously. Anti-vaxxers: How to challenge a Misinformed Movement by Jonathan M. Berman Amazon posted:A history of the anti-vaccination movement, from its nineteenth-century antecedents to today's anti-vax activism, offering strategies for refuting its claims. The doctor who fooled the world: science, deception and the war on vaccines by Brian Deer Amazon posted:From San Francisco to Shanghai, from Vancouver to Venice, controversy over vaccines is erupting around the globe. Fear is spreading. Banished diseases have returned. And a militant "anti-vax" movement has surfaced to campaign against immunization. But why?

I felt great at the beginning of the summer when we could take them off because the vaccines truly did provide for all intents and purposes immunity from the old virus. That was awesome, it felt wonderful. You still trust the public health authorities when they say you don't have to do some COVID safety measure? You should at the very least pay attention to the numbers and squint test the justifications given. The authorities are not above given advice that straight up goes against the science and they've proven it multiple times. Phigs fucked around with this message at 02:42 on Sep 14, 2021 |

Peaceful Anarchy posted:As terrible as the antivaxxers are, this hatred of masks pisses me off so much more. I can at least understand "I don't want some weird thing injected in my body" even if the specifics are not well informed or defensible. "I don't wanna wear a mask, it's uncomfortable" is so much more widespread and even many people who don't mind complying with mask mandates take them off the second they can rules lawyer themselves into saying it's ok as if the virus gives a poo poo about rules. I know it's hard to find the perfect cast but they could have at least gotten a donkey and a cat and a rooster if they were going to make a live action adaptation of the Town Musicians of Bremen.

jetz0r posted:Anything from Amazon is suspect, because they throw any items matching an item number into the same bins, regardless of source. So there can be counterfeit mask packages mixed in with legit ones, with no way to tell when you're ordering. I ordered 10 boxes of surgical masks from the same "add to cart" button (same ASIN, item listing, and FBA seller) and got five different brands lol One of them even had a printed piece of paper with how it's genuine KN95. In a surgical mask box.

I know it's still all probably AWS poo poo on the back end but at this point I get better and faster shipping from most indie shops than I do from Amazon in most case, and that's enough for me.

Biowarfare posted:I ordered 10 boxes of surgical masks from the same "add to cart" button (same ASIN, item listing, and FBA seller) and got five different brands lol hahahaha That's amazing. Any marketplace style online shop is rapidly becoming completely untrustworthy for critical items, because of this counterfeit issue. Walmart.com and Amazon are the two that I can think of, but this system destroys any trust that you're actually getting the item you ordered. Cygna posted:I've had good luck getting N95s from Home Depot, aside from their delivery people liking to leave packages in the stupidest places I have ever seen. Yeah, Home Depot is going to be ordering from the manufacturer, or from one of the large distributors. Not collecting items from a "marketplace" of sellers and tossing them in a bin together.

I’m embedding the tweet because the analogy is good, but the main thing here is to click through and be horrified at the state of UK guidance. https://twitter.com/ProfEmer/status/1437309203828334596 quote:2. When to wear PPE in an education, childcare or children’s social care setting quote:3. What PPE to wear when caring for a symptomatic individual Type IIR is basically a three‐ply surgical mask. No tight fit, no particulate rating. And even this is only supposed to be worn when dealing with a symptomatic person.

Platystemon posted:I’m embedding the tweet because the analogy is good, but the main thing here is to click through and be horrified at the state of UK guidance. I've got to say that the conversation about masks does seem completely different in the US compared to here in the UK. Outside of medical environments there is zero conversation about mask quality, nor anyone really talking about it masking as an issue generally. It's still a recommendation for close inside events, but in practice I only really see it in shops and public transport. It doesn't it seems quite as hotly contested issue as in the US, but that might be just because the fringe anti-maskers are slightly smaller proportion and not quite as vocal.

Professor Beetus posted:Thanks for the reminder. I meant to include both posts in the OP because despite the correction, I felt like there was a lot of good info in both, and I also thought it was useful to see the exchange. I mean given that we have good data on the efficacy of N95s/KN95s I kinda think the fixation EHMRs is a little weird. I understand that they make sense in some situations, but it seems like the better general advice for most people is to just get an N95/KN95, learn how to wear it correctly, and then to always do so. I mean MacGyvering a 7500 to have one reversed valve or whatever is fine, but I kinda feel like if you weren't already familiar with the SA covid cinematic universe or whatever (in which we hash this poo poo out every couple days) then if you stumbled into the thread and read the OP you'd come away thinking that doing a roll-your-own solution involving EHMRs was part of the default recommended covid prep routine or whatever.
