This seems pretty neat and I want to try it out but not enough to pay $15 +$5 S/H to do so.

don't buy bits of plastic to work with random lovely masks, buy good masks that meet 95% filtration standards. your jury rigged lovely mask is going to have unknown filtration and be harder to breathe through. just loving buy good masks.

We really need to put together a scale of reputable, effective masks from "normieflage" N95s to "full Bane" elastomerics + kid options and whatnot. It's been almost two years, masks are a solved problem at this point and there's definitely thread recommendations. We should compile them.

Historically, a one day holiday (like labor day) takes at least a week to catch up, so Thanksgiving is even worse. I wouldn't expect solid numbers til mid next week

It's funny to see death average below 1k though due to this

quote:

Japan plans to effectively close borders to new entries of foreign nationals, including business travelers, foreign students and foreign interns, government sources said Monday, as fears of the new variant grow.

By definition, the strain that broke out in Wuhan can't have had zero mutations - otherwise it wouldn't have been able to infect humans at all.

Then there's no reason to specifically indicate that there's zero mutations.

It's possible their data is showing that Omicron is vaccine evading, but it seems almost more probable in some ways that the data is showing it's the straight up boomer remover.

We've already established governments don't care about the masses dying. But if the elderly elite die? Maybe that will spook them.

With the partner thing it's a lot harder, and I have no idea how people are having mixed-COVID-response marriages. My wife isn't following things quite as closely as I am and occasionally she gets angry and calls the respirator / our degree of isolation psychotic, but when it comes down it, she's never once put me at risk and she wore the respirator for the riskiest thing either of has done (drive my MIL's car back from the shop with the windows down after 24+ hours of the shop having worked on it). I'm thankful every day. I would not be able to be married to someone anywhere on the Open Biden spectrum.

From many pages ago, but I can't really see mixed-COVID-response households making sense in any fashion. My housemate was getting really antsy this summer and grumping about how cautious I still was, but we worked out seeing how things went through the end of this upcoming winter, and that was the end of the disagreement.

Then B.1.617.2 and friends came along and she :crackping:ed.
