There's a reason I want an OmniMask.
~ it's so I can be the coolest doomer at school ~
But also because I want more people to feel comfortable being around me:
both the immunocompromised or carers,
and people who read lips to help with Auditory Processing Disorder, loss of hearing, d/Deafness;
or anyone who just feels more comfortable seeing whole faces.
I definitely don't understand the "I want to see your FACE" people,
but I don't generally set out with the intention of unnerving people
(until they upset me and I've tried conflict resolution skills, but unfortunately haven't fully concluded it. THEN I get ornery!)

Yes yes yes omggg
Can you (theoretically) 3D design / print an off-brand filter case for See Us 95?
Theirs are so dainty they break mid-use, leaving you with one side flopping off while walking about.
Or even just an ergonomic ring shape with smooth hook nubs at the edge for straps to tie or loop onto.
That way, you use any surgical or actual KN99 or FFP3 respirator as the filter.
Then you fit this plastic edge press over it, pressing the (new) seal firmly against your skin.
Tada! Your fit test is now actually likely to pass!

Mi ne malsukcesas rimarki, ke tiu bildo ne havas alt-tekston - kaj ke la Demokrata Partio ankaŭ «lasis ĉiun malsaniĝi».
La bildo tekstas:
If you hired a guy to Make Your House Great and he hired his incompetent children, stole your money, gave it to your richest neighbors, let everyone get sick, killed your grandma, backed over your mailbox, burned down your house and blamed Black people. Would you hire him again?
Tiu Angla ne gramatike ĝustas, sed oni komprenas ĝin kvazaŭ ĝi estus unua frazo.
Mi esperantigu:
Se vi dungis ulon por «Vian Domon Great-igi^» kaj li dungis siajn nekompetentajn idojn, ŝtelis vian monon, donis ĝin al viaj plej riĉaj najbaroj, lasis ĉiun malsaniĝi, mortigis vian avinon, faligis aŭtomobile vian poŝtkeston, forbruligis vian domon kaj kulpigis nigrajn ulojn, ĉu vi dungus lin refoje?
^ Tiu uzo de l’ Angla vorto «Great» estas tute netradukebla. Laŭvorte, ĝi povas signifi aĵojn kiel «bonega», «gravega», «granda» kaj nur «ega». Mi do ne tradukas ĝin. Elparolu ĝin «grejt’», kaj tiun dulingvan kunmetaĵon «grejtigi».
Nu, la Demokrata Partio certe volas fari malpli da tiaj teruraĵoj, kaj se vi estas Usonanulo, ĝi indas vian voĉdonon. Sed ili malagnoskas KOVIMon, kaj do mortigas avinojn.

This is ALMOST perfect, if there was even a 6 cm by 2 cm clear area in the middle to allow any lip reading!

Hey mask respirator covid 19 nerds.

Which is the best for “oh shit bird flu soon probably”?
Like, I think the first one is probably the best balance of “cheap mask and filters, (FF)P3 filter, goggles, doesn’t look too freaky, comparatively.”

The lessons of the [ongoing] sarscov2 pandemic are that respirators, travel quarantine, test-trace-isolate, and work/school-from-home are exceedingly effective at reducing transmission of even the most contagious pathogens, right? Right??
"Respirator" means a facemask that seals around the mouth and nose for the purpose of filtering all the air the wearer inhales.
Respirators can be constructed of either:
a) an elastomeric body designed to be reused many times with replaceable electrostatically-charged, glass fibre, charcoal and/or gas filters, straps, etc
b) an electrostatically-charged fabric designed to be disposed of after one or a small number of uses.
Most reusable elastomeric respirators (N95, FFP2, FFP3, P100) have exhalation valves, but some don't.
Most disposable fabric respirators (KN95, KF94, N95, FFP2, FFP3) don't have exhalation valves, but some do.

@govcanhealth and ignoring the single most effective thing to support the health workforce -- mandate respirators in all care settings. Everything else amounts to a hill of beans as long as they continue to be exposed to deadly, disabling airborne pathogens all day every day.

Did the Cochrane Canada folks really try to downplay the efficacy of respirators compared to baggyblues for an airborne pathogen?
Of course they did. They're *proud* of their intransigence.
“The panel compared evidence on type of mask, the panel notes that during high transmission risk there is a small additional benefit of masking with a respirator (N95/KN95) compared to a medical/surgical mask in community settings.”

As my wife heads to the local, privately-operated but publicly-funded clinic for her first in-person medical appointment in a while, I come across this bit of AHS policy -- it highlights that if we actually had entirely publicly-owned&operated healthcare facilities in Alberta, she'd be protected by bidirectional masking

Absence of symptoms doesn't mean absence of infection
Don't be a carrier; asymptomatic covid isn't harmless

☝️ if you're in the market for a legit CO2 monitor (ie w/ an NDIR sensor) these are three great options.
@safe_breathe's mask reviews are also 👌

Get a new mask? Aerosolize some bitterant around the edges to test if it seals -- gaps that are best measured in μm may be hard to feel.
