The counterfeits can be mixed in to Amazon's pile at Amazon's warehouse, as I understand it. So if 3m is fulfilled by Amazon, you won't know where it came from.

I believe the concerns were: 1. Counterfeit product listings are rampant on Amazon. 2. Due to their warehousing service (where they accept 3rd party products to sell and ship directly from their warehouses) and sorting, there were concerns that counterfeit 3rd party seller products were being housed alongside legitimate first party product in such a way that it's not inconceivable that you could wind up with a counterfeit even from a first party seller. The bottom line is just that it's not worth the risk of winding up with counterfeit safety equipment when there are other sellers that get their products directly from the source. I would only purchase a mask on Amazon if I had no other choice.

ExcessBLarg! posted:"Made in Korea" KF94 masks have ear loops, are comfortable, and come in multiple (including kid) sizes. They're better than cloth and surgical masks but not as good as NIOSH-certified N95s. You may find them more comfortable to wear for long term use, and the best mask to wear is the one you can comfortably wear the longest. Headband is absolutely superior. Some people can’t really get over them for whatever reason, and I like to wear them outside because my nose runs in the winter so I have to stop and blow my nose often. I prefer the Powecom KN95 with earloops over the Blu3D KF94, which is uncomfortable, hot, and compromised by a poor seal at the bottom and cheeks. My partner doesn’t like the KF94s either so we gave them away. Others swear by them.

The 3M auras are completely unnoticeable for me. I think the worse part for me is the wire for the nose that I never feel is quite right but that is with any mask. I really wish respirators were more accepted since those are soft, cool, and more effective.

How are u posted:I've only heard of people being told to take off their respirators on board plane flights. Have you been denied entry to other places while wearing yours? Late November, Lufthansa staff in Istanbul sternly warned that I might not be admitted on the plane in my 3m Aura when I checked in my luggage, and shook their heads like “well, this guy’s going to a have a bad time when he finds out” after I twice declined their generous offer of a surgical mask. No problems later even though the same person greeted me at boarding. In the plane, half the Lufthansa staff were wearing auras anyway.

That has happened multiple times to me in Istanbul, Frankfurt, and Seattle airports. It seems to be standard. I think cops not wearing masks is also a standard in many places.  Fun memory in FRA at the COVID papers line where a single overworked dicknosing employee in a surgical did their very best to wave on as many anxious and angry Americans through as fast as possible a few days after Omicron was found at that airport. That was one of the only times I could smell a stranger’s breath and feel it on the back of my own neck in the last couple of years.

Yeah, I was pretty glad to have boosted 3-4 weeks prior. It was much more likely caught delta at that time, but poo poo was a little anxiety inducing when it felt like I might get stuck days after the passengers in Holland, countries shutting their borders etc. and we didn’t know much about omicron except that it had a lot of mutations and was spreading fast.

So I am not sure if I won the antibody lottery, have been seriously lucky, or what. On Saturday, my older son had a sore throat. That was the only symptom - so we set a doctor's appointment. Tests came back positive for strep, negative for covid - so we were pretty relieved, and didn't do much to isolate except from his brother. Saturday evening, he starts getting a cough that continues into Sunday. We're thinking this is probably still just the strep, but the runny nose is giving me some doubt. My younger son said he had a sore throat on Monday morning, so he stayed home. I also kept the older home - again, I was thinking just along the lines of 'oh gosh this cough will be distracting' due to the negative test. But, that afternoon (again after basically zero isolation) my older tested positive for covid and the younger tested negative for both covid and strep. He headed to his room, and has been isolating since. He just got his 2nd shot after Thanksgiving, so it's a heck of a breakthrough. The next day, we had a morning saliva PCR test for the rest of the family. That evening, the results came in - my wife was positive, but younger son and I were negative. (We both got boosted in October.) She was completely asymptomatic at the time, but I let her know false positives are extremely unlikely, and given the circumstances she should absolutely trust it. She started isolating immediately. Anyway, since again my wife and I were around each other literally all day, I figured I'd pop positive soon enough. They're upstairs, younger son and I are mostly downstairs; I have an N-95 for deliveries and care, and so does my wife for when she needs to come downstairs. But still, I figured it's inevitable. But what do you know, I tested negative again this morning on that same saliva PCR test.  I am not sure how my younger son and I don't have breakthrough omicron right now - maybe we happen to have the right antibodies still swimming around, maybe we somehow avoided a concentrated enough amount of viruses, I dunno. I am really confused. I know this happens a lot, but does anyone know of any research with this? I keep going back to 'one party, 86 breakthrough cases earlier in omicron' and it seems it should be more inevitable than this.

Yeah everyone at work has tested positive at some point in the past three weeks and I somehow "got away" with a cold I had to work through due to covid making us shorthanded so it turned into pneumonia. I've had a cough going on two weeks now but still testing negative.

Dick Trauma posted:Someone at work tested positive this morning and then the executive team decided to have a meeting that after three hours is still underway. I can't understand it. Oh man if you want to try this on hard mode look no further than the service industry. Imagine, if you will, being in a lower-supervisory position in service - a thankless, but easy job, most of the time. Twenty minutes before you're set to open up one of your people calls you to let you know they tested positive for COVID. Your need to have a functional staff then does a collision with your humanity because obviously you feel bad your people got COVID at all and doubly so because it was at least partially because of exposure to the publish. You swallow your panic and then begin the arduous process of letting corporate know you have a positive COVID case, notify your staff that somebody was positive, fill shifts for your person who now has to isolate, pursue sick time or other benefits for them if possible, and finally with seconds to spare open up your store. Then, because they now know one of their co-workers has COVID, three more of your staff call out because they want to get tested and you get to have your humanity collision-course all over again. Now you're running a location designed for a skeleton crew of five people but you're doing it more or less solo. Some dude walks in without a mask and when you ask him to put one on, he asks you why the hell he should have to. What do you do? I swear this isn't autobiographical or if it is, it certainly is not if HR asks you about it.

Denmark - 27 January 2022 Late on this, sorry. Work. Drop in "actual" cases from the massive spike in the 24th, but I wouldn't expect too much out of that. Hospitalization occupancy again up, and ICU and vents dropped again. In a month of Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 we've double hospital bed use while halving ICU and ventilator counts. Still no new deaths in under 20s in a long time. Even with hospitalization in the 0-2 going way up, and the fact the youngest are unvaccinated.

I started having symptoms 1/9 and tested positive on both rapid and PCR on 1/11. My 7 year old son started having symptoms 1/11 and was positive on a rapid on 1/13. My wife and daughter never got sick despite close proximity in the days before my positive test (I thought allergies was giving me postnasal drip at first). We are all vaccinated and my wife and I got boosters in October and November, respectively. I think the vaccinations just kep don how much me and the boy were transmitting in the days before isolated enough so that being vaccinated helped the others resist infection. And once I did isolate I wore an N95 and they wore kn95 anytime anyone left any room. I'm happy that they didn't get infected from us, although school and work will probably take care of that in the next few weeks.

A friends' whole household was that way (pre-vaccine, about a year ago). One friend got it, passed it to his boyfriend, then our other friend got it from them, but his girlfriend didn't test positive the whole time. The human immune system is some wildly complex poo poo. Of course, she works in the service industry, so she got her Omicron case a couple weeks back.

Now that we have n95s, it’s totally okay to infect all the kids because teachers and parents/grandparents can just wear masks all the time (ignore that these same shitheads are also trying to eliminate general mask mandates, guidance for vaccinated mask wearing, and boosting, or that babies and toddlers generally can’t wear effective masks). https://mobile.twitter.com/MonicaGandhi9/status/1485795752412475400 I can’t remember the name of the organizition, but I remember seeing some “follow the ‘science’ on schools” group pop up in the two weeks that all these Barrington assholes signed on to.

It's not just her talking about the very marginal, very error-prone "only one party is masked" hypotheticals. She's constantly looking for the malignant middle ground of safety margins and thinking of herself like some kind of risk analysis hero for offering advice wherein not a single finger must be lifted in excess of absolute, spherical-cow-in-a-frictionless-vacuum necessity.

Dropping mask mandates when case load returns to "pre-omicron" (aka delta surge) seems a bit premature but if they return to Spring 2021 levels, sure? I also assume school districts implement a vaccination requirement for all eligible children as they do for, say, MMR.

Dropping mask mandates when case load returns to "pre-omicron" (aka delta surge) seems a bit premature but if they return to Spring 2021 levels, sure? That's kind of the basis of a zero covid policy (at most extreme) to the traffic light / numerical systems (less extreme) that were tried out in some of the western world in 2021. Those policies are by and large behind us. In my opinion, the less extreme implementations of this policy failed because cov2 is far too contagious to suppress with a partial, elastic masking policy. Observably, the only countries on this planet that have infections under control are those that respond to infections with extreme, localized responses. To wit, an extremely contagious pathogen requires proportional containment, if containment is genuinely a goal. (it occurs to me that we might not have a common standard for what "under control" looks like, but I'm fairly certain it would be pretty trivial to point out a couple of countries that definitely cross the line in the sand  )

Where I live, you're actually anti-American and/or tyrannical for wearing a mask, which I guess tracks for a state of evangelicals that has been fake-upset about head coverings since 9/11.

Those opinion pieces are suggested that the deep blue lib states just have an indefinite mask policy on the books and that they should reconsider them as case loads drop. I'd argue that "pre-Omicron levels" is a farce, but is it actually true that deep blue Twitter lib states have no codified end in their policies?

Gandhi is definitely part of the core group pushing all this stuff in the press, along with a whole ring of people with long lists of letters after their names. I presume Oster is involved in this somewhere.

In Washington state at least, yes the mask mandate is indefinite right now. The King County "show vaccine card to get into restaurants/bars/events" mandate technically has no end date, but they say it's not expected to be permanent and will be reviewed for extension or ending sometime before the end of April.

ExcessBLarg! posted:I'm not sure what you mean. It's not like kids attend school across multiple districts concurrently, so they only need to be familiar with a single policy for the most part. I'm talking about the problem at a higher level, the level at which the outbreak actually operates and needs to be addressed. It's cool that each of us lives in a school district, a city, a county, a state, but... Each successive outbreak of a new variant does not biologically recognize those borders. As a result, our policies that attempt to handle outbreaks at lower levels are insufficient to accomplish any goal, regardless of whatever that goal may be.
