Anyone have a reliable source for 3M 604 Exhalation Valve Filters? I'd like to source-control my respirator the NIOSH way if possible.

The staff is vaccinated and wear N95s but there will be two other patients in the building at the same time, so I guess if I get a bad dice roll I just die. (Immuno-suppressed to the point of being unvaccinated.) Is it just a cleaning? I'd consider rescheduling for another edit: why did I say three? why even six?

Why Am I So Tired posted:Agreed, I'm doing it in anticipation of emergency situations I can't control aka if I can't talk my way out of a fire alarm inspection or if there's a serious apartment emergency where maintenance needs to come. Also getting worried about open windows this spring, so figure it's good to have. If you're in a shared/communal living space and not a single family home you're already turbofucked w.r.t. air quality control. Opening the windows would be a net benefit compared to sucking down recycled communal air that has been in any number of units with no chance to disburse. Why Am I So Tired posted:How can anyone think the pandemic is ending? How can anyone think Omicron is the last one (even if we didn't already have another one tripling in a week's time)? I feel like screaming. I had the surreal experience the other day of my boss worrying about me getting COVID as if I haven't been living by myself in a cottage in the rear end end of the suburbs, working from home and getting everything contactlessly delivered. I had to go for an in-person doctor's appointment today and... like... that's the most human contact I've had in recent memory. It's weird for me now because I'm starting to think a lot of the carelessness is coming from people who have casual contact with a small group of friends and family. My hypothesis is that the attitude is essentially reinforced by these small groups people think they have control over. The problem is people are bad at math and exposure risk is exponential with number of people you contact. My boss got COVID herself, despite being an utter germaphobe, and I guarantee it is because she has family members she's in contact with on a regular basis. "If I can get it you can get it." Yes, that is technically true, but I'm also a single person who isn't seeing ANYONE. I have no kids (huge risk), no partner, and I'm not visiting my mom. I'm in a situation where I can post a sign "put deliveries in the sun room" and never have to see another person without a door between us.

Why Am I So Tired posted:It's a 1BR in a typical suburban apartment complex (door opens to a staircase outside), thankfully not an apartment building. Before the pandemic we asked if the units were connected in any way and they told us no, so hopefully we're good. If not, then just lol. The place I was living before this was a gutted-and-converted house that had been built in like the 1890s, with everything on a single furnace. I fell face-first into this SFH rental that was only marginally more expensive and frankly the risk of seeing it and signing paperwork was lower than staying in what could quickly become a plague-box.

I commented during a listening session for a new climate change plan in my state, and one of my arguments was that we (Michigan) need to "rebrand car culture for the 21st century" because LOL if I'm going to realistically get Americans to give up personal automobiles but there's a chance I can make an electric vehicle a mark of prestige through social pressure.

CPU Abuser posted:NO. Then I don't know what to tell you. What were you modeling? Because there are some things that are way more resilient and produce way more confident statistical metrics (physics, biochem, 'hard' sciences) than others (social sciences writ large). I studied economics, and frankly moldy paper mache was a good day and a reason to get beers. And that doesn't change my thesis: you have a marketing problem where the public thinks this is no big deal because either 1) the message they're getting is inconsistent and so they're defaulting back to 'normal' or 2) the powers-that-be are actively marketing the death cult, AKA Open Biden. The general public thinks statistics is all fake anyway. Source: my anecdotal conversations with random people where I tell them my interests and they say that to my face.

The thing that makes local politicians valuable isn't that they are inherently better people. It's that you can walk up to their house with a protest and collectively take shits on their porch until they either change their tune or abdicate.

Morbus posted:You keep saying this, but the fitness landscape of a virus not only can be experimentally explored, but was, and such efforts have broadly predicted the course of SARS-CoV-2 evolution for over a year. That's what makes the lack of any kind of long term planning even more idiotic. Besides--even when the catastrophic delta wave in India gave most of the western world a solid 3-4 month window to form some kind of anticipatory response, what we got instead was masks off, suck-n-gently caress 4th of July, open biden. That wasn't the result of some fundamental epistemological difficulties, it was a result of sheer ignorance, denial, and stupidity. The omicron variant behaves almost identically to the eventual immune escape variants that were predicted since late 2020, based on an exploration of the mutation space. The future evolution of the virus was predicted, with remarkable accuracy! Hence why my thesis on the topic was and remains, "It's a marketing problem." Mind you, the marketing is working as designed. Capital is taking precautions and keeping itself alive while the proles (us) die for their profits. The system works.

Went to the convenience store in my shiny new 3M 7300 this morning, and this poo poo is like dynamite fishing for bad opinions. The cashier made a stupid "can't tell your gender" joke and all I could do was laugh and say that I was expecting to get a comment or two but she defied all expectations. gently caress, get a half-face if you can. It's 100% worth it, not just for OSHA-levels of COVID protection, but for instantly highlighting the people with bad opinions.

Honestly my half-face is way more comfortable than any KN95 I've had. The straps distribute the pressure well. The gasket seals and it stays in place so I don't feel like I need to fidget with it. It's easier to breath through. Quality PPE is like any other tool. You can improvise, but nothing feels as good as the real thing.

I'd been content to pretty much go without any updates on COVID because I'd settled into a pretty good routine of isolation combined with strict masking (P100 elastomeric supremacy). Checking the thread today was... not great. gently caress.
