So the humongous box of masks I bought at the beginning of the pandemic is finally looking a little low. Any place got really good deals on Auras at the moment? I haven't had to restock since March 2020 so I've never tried them and want to know why they're the hotness.

i just got 5 boxes of 9211s (vented auras) delivered from RS Hughes today. they also have the 9205s at $1.23 each

Have you tried them on yet?
I find them smaller/tighter than my 9210+s, so do a few other folks who have pepsi challenged them - but IDK if that just my lot.

hmmm, yeah they do feel a bit tighter than the 9205+s i have. i tried to stretch the elastics out, but they're fairly resilient it seems. not sure if i can withstand a 10hr shift with them... guess I'll find out

guy i work with told me he was out the last two days with "stomach flu" or "food poisoning" so bad that he fell asleep on his bathroom floor.
lady i work with was told me yesterday that her niece has covid, but she wasn't in the same room with her for more than a few minutes. today three more people in her family tested positive.
at least it's friday on my planet.

Not too long ago my boss invited me out to a restaurant and got real defensive when I went "LMAO there's a pandemic on my dude, that's a big nope from me." He's currently posting about the lovely meal he had with one of his other employees last night and waxing poetic about the theatre show he saw afterwards.
Did I mention that he's 80 years old and just before the pandemic he had a whole bunch of medical issues such as melanoma and a mystery respiratory issue which lasted for several years?

maybe he wants to die. i might if i ever made it to 80 (lmao)

had a couple different reactions to still wearing a mask in these post-covid times today

neighborhood corner store: lots of attitude from the clerk who turned super tense when he saw me lol
my regular pizza spot (which unfortunately but understandably opened for dine-in for the first time a few weeks ago): the kitchen threw in a free loaf of sourdough, "we appreciate you dude"

ugh, gently caress. someone else posted another call plushcare. there might be other options, i don't know much beyond this. who the gently caress knows. sorry though :( that's so loving stupid and i'm livid for you that the situation is so stupid

i called em up and had a nice chat with a woman who was possibly higher than me and laughing at pretty much everything i said including just fuckin losing it as we said goodbye, still laughing when the line disconnected. she told me I didn't check the right comorbidity boxes and the provider determined i didn't need antiviral treatment but still took my $29 lol

might try the other one and say I'm fat as gently caress even though I'm currently at my lowest weight since i was like 14 (thanks covid, couldn't have done it without you). this is when i regret not having a PCP or becoming rich

I'm at like 90% normal. my ability to smell and taste started to come back yesterday afternoon and now I'm just trying to cough up the rest of whatever's still in there. tiny bit of congestion left too. I'm about to go take a walk to test my lungs, hopefully i didn't sustain any damage

maybe the Iranians will save us with an intranasal vaccine
Safety and Efficacy of Combined Intramuscular/Intranasal RAZI-COV PARS Vaccine Candidate Against SARS-CoV-2: A Preclinical Study in Several Animal Models

quote:

The most important issue that has been neglected in previous vaccines is the lack of stimulation of the immune system against the virus in the upper respiratory tract (URT). RAZI-COV PARS candidate vaccine with the intranasal spray (third dose) was able to induce high levels of IgA antibody that largely compensate for this defect. We were also able to detect IgA antibodies in URT which are considered a major barrier against viral infection by impeding viral shedding, limiting the degree of spread and level of pathology (65). It is important to note that IgA antibodies are associated with the expansion of the IgA plasmablasts with mucosal homing characteristics and manage the early response against specific antigens of SARS-CoV-2 in the serum, saliva, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluids. IgA concentrations in the saliva and serum peaked after the administration of the third dose of the intranasal vaccine but persisted for several more months in the saliva and serum.

Guys dont panic, this never happens, listen to Fauci!

quote:

When you look at the studies, it generally does not occur very often,” Fauci, who directs the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and is President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser, said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” But he noted that there have been “anecdotal cases” that suggest rebounds are more common now than they were in clinical trials.

Biden is obviously an anecdotal case.
