So I live in Whitman county and have been complaining about the wastewater data not having been updated since Jul 28th, or right around when the university students moved back.

Well, the most recent dataset from NWSS (shown as white diamonds) just backfilled the whole month and just broke my y-axis scale so completely.

my in-laws travelled to Ireland for a week and just got back. My father-in-law was experiencing "the worst cough of his life" on the plane back, unmasked. Mother-in-law observed that it seemed like everyone on the flight had the same cough for some reason.

You get Covid from the Irish.

I woke up early this morning and was fine.

then the dog woke up and I almost passed out walking him by the time I got home from the short walk I had the chills, nausea, etc and I just passed out for the whole day.

Who wants a boring story?

A week before I posted this (7/29) I went to a kids birthday party . There was a girl there who couldn't stop coughing but insisted she tested negative for covid and has just had bronchitis for a month. I was only one masked.

On 8/3, I was taking my dog for a walk and encountered three neighbors

On 8/6 I posted this and was sick for the week.

On 8/10, I find out 2/3 of those neighbors have covid.
On 8/12, I found out my wifes friend (who sat next to the sick girl at the party) had COVID
On 8/20 - Wife goes to another kids birthday party and the host had a bad case of "bronchitis" but tested negative for covid
Later that week I find out the initial sick girl tested positive for covid on 8/1
On 8/28 - the 8/20 parent comes over to help my wife with something and still has "bronchitis."
On 8/30, that parent finally tests + for COVID and I have a separate conversation with the girl from 8/12 who says she isnt testing positive anymore but has bronchritis.

tldr lots of covid presenting as bronchitis.

I need some recommendations for n95 masks. Im a woman with a small face and a somewhat flat nose bridge so I can never get a seal on auras, masks with the metal cincher things never work for me bc my nose bridge shape. I have a secure click respirator but I don't always wanna wear that esp to the doctors. Suggestions?

i'm sure you're going to get a bunch of better suggestions, but are you talking blue-strap auras or white? iirc, the white ones fit a tad differently from blue.

most masks I've seen have a nose wire. have you tried 3M 9502 (https://www.northernsafety.com/Product/400204/Particulate-Respirator-9502N95-500-EaCase) or 3M 9105S (the small version of the V-Flex?)

if those don't fit, could also try the lightweight Jackson Safety masks (https://www.northernsafety.com/Product/355196/N95-Disposable-Particulate-Respirator-50Bag) since they have a different duckbill shape

otherwise the Avery Dennison adhesive masks (cheapest vendor I know of is https://alliantbiotech.com/), or adding some bandage tape to the nose, might be your best bet

I'll grab links one sec

yeah, a small duckbill might be worth a shot, 3m also makes smaller versions of their cup/'cone' disposable respirators (the model I'm familiar with is the 1860S but I'm assuming there's a non-healthcare one too) but those are hit and miss as far as fit and comfort, especially if you have a e.g. narrow face instead of just a small face

Sorry that you had to go through this, and gently caress that person. I've had three separate incidents since July of strangers walking up and touching the PAPR without permission. It's shocking to be treated like a mannequin by dummies on the bad side of a culture war. I try to think of how these people would look like irrefutable assholes to the general public if they, say, started messing around with someone's wheelchair.

9211+ auras, the ones with the cloth elastic and valve, are smaller than 9210s so it's worth a shot to try out if the 9210 is too big.

I dunno man, I've heard some pretty lovely stories regarding people in wheelchairs getting pushed around w/o asking. Nevermind the whole issue of people who just go up and touch a stranger's belly when they think they might be pregnant.
