I had previously seen estimates of February, but I think it's all very, very tentative right now. I'm sorry, I know how much it sucks to be waiting for your kids to be able to get the vaccine.

By the way, in case you are looking for the absolute best FFP2 or FFP3 mask, it's this one FFP3 NR D "X-plore 1930" much better than the 3M FFP2/3 masks. First, the fit is much better. These masks don't move an inch, even if you have a big ol' face, or a long face, or a small face etc.. Second, the straps are not simply tacked on, they are super sturdy. Third, because the straps are connected it's really easy to put on the mask as you don't need to stretch the bottom strap and the top one falls in place automatically. Fourth, they are much more comfy long term. Highly recommend for high risk situations. Then again, they are like 8€ per piece so

Yeah for Germany these guys are good https://www.arbeitsschutz-express.de/de/atemschutzmaske-ffp3-nr-d-x-plore-1930-ohne-ventil-draeger-10019729385863?number=10019729385863 In the shop you can select from a number of EU countries, so if you google translate that site, it might work. Early on they caught a fake batch of 3M masks and literally called me to have me check serial numbers. Pricing is confusing because they mostly sell B2B so it's without VAT. The higher number is what you will pay. Also, you gotta buy at least a whole box (20 pieces).

I'm not as big of an elastomeric advocate as others but the cost of three of those masks can buy you a half-face respirator & filters. Can you not get respirators in Germany? E: actually the site you listed has 3m respirators available too. What's the upside of these?

Normalize respirator wearing. We could have had a rad future where dads one up each other on masks and show off to each other at soccer practice. But no, masks are weak and bad

I think it's pretty safe to say that a lot of people genuinely do not want to wear a big chunky bane mask every time they go outside or go into a building. I don't think that's unreasonable at all. I haven't seen a single person wearing one in the past 2 years. I think people have the right to wear the mask the feel most comfortable with. I'd just like to see people wearing masks at all. I went to a neighboring city today to pick up something at the mall for my gf, and there were a lot more people walking around inside without masks than in my city. Same statewide indoor mask mandate applies there as well, yet people are flouting it.

If you're around a bunch of unmasked people it'd be great to wear an n95 or p100! It's shameful that public health departments in the US are still recommending cloth masks.

Yeah, although even surgical masks are better than nothing and a lot of the anti-mask sentiment I've seen in the US is weird xenophobic poo poo where people think mask wearing is some weird Asian thing because it's so common in Japan, for instance. I don't know why mask wearing ending up being politicized so much but it's possibly one of the dumbest things wrt Covid that could have made a huge difference with spread.

As with a lot of things it traces straight back to Trump, who led by example. Three of the unmasked persons at the mall today were men probably in their late 20s early 30s, jacked up, one wearing a loving Molon Labe shirt. Trumpy fucks, and I'd bet real world $$ they listen to Joe Rogan.

Trump certainly didn't help, but it's something at least a good portion of the country was already primed for. And it was another President who decided that masks off (for vaccinated people, but we're going with the honor system, and whoopsie daisy vaxxed folks can still spread Covid). e: Personally, when mask wearing and social distancing was at its peak in my area, I loved it. Not only did I feel safer about Covid, but I seriously haven't had a cold since 2019 and it's fuckin awesome. They always knock me on my rear end.

Anyone who acts dumb about someone wearing an elastomer is not worth listening to; the price of one uses when a good elastomer is so drat cheap it's stupid not to switch, especially on aesthetics.

I don't want to discourage people from wearing elastomerics, but I was on an American Airlines flight a little while back and a flight attendant made me remove mine and put on a "normal mask." I had switched to the half-face respirator mid-flight because several people around me took their masks off as soon as the lights dimmed and it made me uneasy. I didn't argue given all the poo poo that flight attendants have to put up with (especially lately), and I assume she was trying to enforce safe practices. Plus I don't blame them for not being fully briefed on the latest mask technology or whatever.

Slow News Day posted:Their "vaccine diplomacy" has a terrible track record. Not only have they overpromised and failed to deliver in numerous situations (throwing their trading partners' vaccination campaigns in disarray), they have also done things like purposefully withhold deliveries in order to achieve unrelated goals. For example, last year they allegedly pressured the Turkish government to ratify a treaty that would allow the extradition of their Uyghur population. The Erdogan government denied the allegations, but that's probably because Uyghurs are Muslim-Turkic and his voter base strongly sympathizes with their plight. Regardless, Turkey ended up toning down its criticism of China's treatment of Uyghurs in order to make sure the vaccines keep coming (and since then managed to acquire 30 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine). You should have mentioned that the allegations are from the opposition parties. There is nobody in the world I dislike more than Erdogan, but everybody in Turkey makes up or exaggerates stuff all the time, as do opposition parties everywhere. Have a gander at the media analysis and criticism thread for how to evaluate these kinds of statements. Personally, I’d rate anything from İyi Parti as being amazingly less credible than even AKP. They’re pretty out there. mawarannahr fucked around with this message at 04:33 on Nov 30, 2021 |

China also doesn’t have near the Covid problem that we or anyone else does, and they appear to have a grip on it, so I would assume they feel surgical masks are sufficient. “We can’t do that!” is probably not the reason they haven’t mandated KN95s.

TBH if everyone could get into the habit of wearing at least surgical masks and avoiding lovely loose fitting cloth fashion statements, you could at least do a lot to control the spread. They just don't offer satisfactory protection for the wearer, and when mask mandates are scattershot and people constantly pull their masks down around their chin to loving sneeze or talk on the phone or eat or etc., I am not going to be caught dead wearing anything less than an N95 standard respirator. The worst masks I think I see on a fairly regular basis are cloth masks that are so baggy the sides just hang open. Very good, Covid can only go forward if you cough or breathe!

Mr. Pardiggle posted:Thats my concern with masking in general right now. I was on packed public transit yesterday (bus) and I wondered what spread looks like if at least one covid positive person isn't masking or dicknosing. How protected are the people with cloth or surgical masks? How about N-95/KN-95s, or even ones that are "soiled" from repeated use? I guess my question is, how possible is it to control spread if you're going to have at least a few members of the public not masking or dicknosing? Does it make too much of a difference with delta/omni and when everyone is still using cloth? It all just seems to require a highly disciplined public which seems kind of impossible. With how badly it's been faddled, it boils down to... well, the CSPAM truism of 'no one will save you, only trust your respirator.' Hate to be flip, but that's the math right now. The best measure is self-rescue at the moment.

That's why I use KN-95's all the time now. My understanding is that they provide a much better level of protection than your average cloth mask, but I reuse mine because its still rather expensive so im not quite sure if they're still holding up.
