I've been trying to get my kid to wear the Savewo 3D Bear masks. I haven't been able to get a single earloop on her. How'd you all ease your toddlers into masking?

Hey remember how tens of thousands of sea lions died from bird flu in South America last year? I wonder why we don't hear any stories about cattle herds getting bird flu down there. Also here's a timeline of all the zoonotic breakouts of bird flu over the last four years. There's a lot! https://www.cdc.gov/flu/avianflu/timeline/avian-timeline-2020s.htm That fucker gets around quote:In December 2023, HPAI A(H5N1) virus infections were reported in elephant and fur seals in the Antarctic. When combined with the polar bear infection in the Arctic, this marked the first time HPAI A(H5N1) virus infections had been reported in both polar regions.

a song by smelly moofarts-o: I’m infectious, that's for sure You’ll never stop my clade I’m deadly but it's only 'poors' Yet you won't ever change And though your treats are rare Though your flu is true I infect birds, I'll only spread each day I don't know where your soul is, but I know where my host is (and dummy all I need for you to know is) I infect birds, I'll only spread each day I don't know where your soul is, but I know where my host is All I need for you to know is

How much facial hair does it take to affect the seal of an Aura? I'm being forced back into the office on a more regular basis and while I'll shave if I have more than a day's growth when needing to mask, I'm wondering if it's necessary to do so. I don't want a full grown beard or anything like that, but would ideally prefer to not have to shave so often if I can get away with it.

I found moisture to be more annoying when there was facial hair for it to cling to, but I was doing grocery store manual labor in a mask so that might not be a problem if you have a desk job. You can just not mouth breath and it shouldn't be much of an issue.

I'm being forced back into the office on a more regular basis and while I'll shave if I have more than a day's growth when needing to mask, I'm wondering if it's necessary to do so. I don't want a full grown beard or anything like that, but would ideally prefer to not have to shave so often if I can get away with it. OSHA says one day. The medical field feels good about anything under one millimetre, which is about three days’ growth. One study* looked at beard length and Auras at skipped from clean shave to “light stubble” using a visual assessment, which is a method with some slop in it but supposedly corresponds to about five days unshaven. The proportion of persons passing the quantitative fit test with “light stubble” was worse than halved. So five days is definitely too much. Prince et al. were more granular in tests involving the moulded cup type 3M 8210, starting with full-bearded subjects and trimming incrementally. They claim victory on up to two and a half millimetres of stubble (a weekish unshaven), because the subject is generally still getting less than five percent leakage at that point, but there’s very measurable degradation at and before that point, it’s just not driving the subjects below the threshold yet. Susceptibility to stubble-induced degradation varies with respirator design, and Auras may be less robust in this aspect than moulded cup respirators. I think that you should follow OSHA practice and shave daily, but for the sake of entertaining mediocre ideas, you could probably get away with shaving two or three times per workweek. Once per week is pretty clearly dangerous. *paywalled but Sci-Hub has it, DOI 10.1016/j.jhin.2020.01.006

Platystemon posted:OSHA says one day. The medical field feels good about anything under one millimetre, which is about three days’ growth. wait what what the gently caress is wrong with my freakish facial follicles other than all the woodhairs I mean. I don't get any cool werewolf powers, I just look like a middle-aged lovely teenager making poor life choices if I haven't shaved in the last twenty hours ...okay, after some quick googling, because I had no awareness of this information at all, disclaimer, apparently human hair growth rates vary A LOT. So the timescale given there is somewhat loose and you should go by the hair length for your personal approximations.

Bernard Hill (Théoden in the LOTR films, captain from Titanic) died unexpectedly today. He had cancelled an appearance at Comicon due to his wife (82 year old Marianne Hill) being ‘very ill’ just days before.

corona familiar posted:wonder if this'll meet the mythical RCT quality criteria for "do filtering facepiece respirators work" I'm just pleasantly surprised that 'covid is real and bad news and is killing people' is being acknowledged as a concept by a mainstream news source. I don't expect it to change much, but it would nice to see a sea-change back towards acknowledging material reality. idk maybe bird flu is spooking people now that it's well-established in livestock populations in a way that capital won't address

Shady Amish Terror posted:wait what Yeah, I'm one of those people who gets a good layer of sexy stubble after one day. So I have to shave every 1-2 days to keep a good seal. Every other day is pushing it, and 3 days is definitely too much.

The Oldest Man posted:"Feeling normal" has never been about doing the activities, it's always about been fulfilling class and cultural role expectations and I'll tell you the most basic reason why: feeling normal isn't a freestanding feeling, it's coded language for an absence of shame. When they aren't performing their assigned roles, most people feel shame. That's an adaptive emotional response in the context of a social and economic support structure (friends, work, spouse, etc.) that is heavily conditioned on those role expectations being fulfilled. People may not - and actually almost certainly won't - admit that they're afraid of being abandoned, but shame is their brain telling them to feel bad about doing things that could lead to that outcome. Feeling shame, or imagining a shameful outcome, is also a very strong motivator to police group behavior because if you're worried about being out-grouped you're going to be hypervigilant of those in-group signifiers in others as well as yourself.

The one good thing about the pandemic being cancelled, is that without the pressure to actually stop the harm, the long term effects on public health can finally be recognized by the authorities. Decent overview here from FT, though naturally utilizing low-balling estimates, while criticizing said low-balling. Just a few excerpts, but it goes on in the same vein for anyone interested (with a bit of euro-centric highlighting, as we rarely hear the EU estimates).https://www.ft.com/content/bb09a03d-4a87-4cea-ae87-986769fd4680 posted:Health systems and employers count economic cost of long Covid
