empty whippet box posted:how will I make my carefully reasoned, very learned and responsible decision about covid? well, I guess I'll just assume that covid has completely disappeared off the face of the earth, and act accordingly until I am told otherwise by a credible source (credible sources are those which tell me that it is okay for me to do what I want) I love how there's death and disability in the air and the default position isn't "avoid it." That's the mentally ill position.

If the inside of an Aura gets moist because of breath in cold weather or runny nose, etc, does that degrade the mask’s filtering?

South Korea Mildness Report New cases soar to fresh high of over 340,000 amid omicron wave Omicron now accounts for 99.96% of COVID-19 cases in S. Korea quote:The detection rate for the BA.2 subvariant of Omicron — sometimes called “stealth Omicron” — increased to 22.9%. Will surging “stealth Omicron” cases affect Korea’s current COVID-19 wave? Yeah, it's going to get the baton handed off to it with olympic precision. Schools in confusion as figures spike quote:According to the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education, 15,337 students in Seoul were newly confirmed to have COVID-19 between Feb. 28 and Thursday, while 1,417 school faculty members in Seoul were also confirmed.

Kylaer posted:Eh, I'm guessing no. BA2 has been here for weeks and weeks. Its prevalence is rising but cases and hospitalizations continue to fall, and deaths are tailing off too (but at a much slower rate of decline, area under the curve is bigly). I don't think BA2 is a national concern in the immediate future. The U.S. is going to coast on the immune aftermath of BA1 until that starts fading out, uneducated guess would be somewhere mid-year for that. So a wave in the summer is definitely on the table, I'd say, and certainly by August I think conditions will be ripe for another major wave, but I'm not counting on a big spring wave unless a new variant with a whole different set of immune-evasion mutations pops up.

Covok posted:My office just put out their company wide end to WFH guidelines. The general consensus was "a lot of people are going to quit over this policy." It's a classic "please no one" strategy of "all vaccinated people should be back to the office by 3/16." Which is just going to push a lot of people to find WFH finance gigs instead. “Vaccinated? Me? Oh no. You must be thinking of someone else.”

Why even bother? Biden won't listen to them and neither will the public. The people who care about COVID and try to avoid it and haven't yet realized that listening to the CDC is insane are, I would imagine, a statistically insignificant portion of the population. A minority of a minority. The government has declared COVID is over and will not listen to eggheads saying otherwise, and the same is true for the majority of the American people.

icantfindaname posted:What layer is that, outer or middle? And once it dries is it back to fully effective or no? Middle. Distilled water doesn’t damage the layer permanently. When electrolytes are present, however, those give the electrostatic charge a path to dissipate, and efficacy is permanently degraded. How much is it degraded? Great question. This is one of those things where it sure would be cool to have specific studies on it, but we have to settle for guessing from adjacent data that is available. Personally, I don’t worry about a wet respirator within a session, but I do discard any that have gotten moist. It’s not worth saving a buck fifty in my budget. Here’s a study involving exercise under hot and moderately humid conditions. Of note, they used Auras (albeit the surgical model). Fit factor was degraded by an hour of exercise, but it may have been due to mechanical and seal effects, like the respirator slipping around on a sweaty face and/or deforming more easily when warm and wet.  The P100 respirator used was the 3M 8293. Side note: See all those entries that aren’t “200+”? Yeah, that’s respirator protection being measurably imperfect against the test ærosol. Sorry. It happens. But really, no one ever scoring below twenty‐two in an Aura is a good result. And look at the P100. If we can write off subject 1,2, 3 as poor fits for this respirator and subject 7’s post‐exercise result as an avoidable first‐time user error, all remaining scores are above one hundred. A ninety‐nine percent reduction of the test ærosol is pretty drat good. That’s like taking two years of exposure to rack up a week without, and this is under particularly challenging conditions.

lol wore the bane mask filter/cartridge out to the community grills to make burger patties for tonight's dinner and i swear this thing sets off people less than the envos, they seem to avoid looking at me instead of staring lol. so far im surprised at how comfortable it is for what it is, though of course it is a new and exciting way to irritate my nose bridge but everything else does too. it also doesn't have that mask musk that even envos have, i think that's the best part. of course i only wore it for like 30 minutes but it wasn't building up at all, and it was even slightly chilly out. e: oh yeah only problem was grilling isn't as fun when you can't smell anything, but hey the thing worked, i couldn't smell anything hot witch divorcee fucked around with this message at 05:25 on Mar 9, 2022 |

More YLE. This is a twofer. Long COVID Mini-Series: Burden Long COVID Mini-Series: The Heart The first one is… actually a decent read. It’s incredible that person can write this and still be so blasé about opening ’er up. But I do want to point out a bit of idiocy. quote:We have SARS-CoV-2 doors (called ACE2 receptors) on almost all of our organs We have ACE2 itself, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, on our cells. In the context of virology, ACE2 plays the role of the receptor of SARS‐CoV‐2, as well as SARS-CoV and NL63. It’s a bit pedantic to correct a comedy forum poster or a journalist on this one, but how does a medical professional make it? It’s like saying that our houses have “window receptors” because burglars can throw rocks through them. Moving on, to the article on the heart. She puts some sobering studies in simple terms, which is good. Nevertheless, she ends with this: quote:Impact of vaccination It sounds to me like optimism continues to be our best bet to
