Same but I'm unfortunately burdened with a giant wrinkly brain and it feels like it (402, medium) uncomfortably squeezes my swollen skull if I wear it too long, regardless of how tight I have it on. A little too expensive to buy a large just to try it, though, lol

Apparently, the only difference in sizes is the gasket, you should be able to buy just that.

British Columbia chief health officer now saying nbd if your second shot is a different brand than your first due to low vaccine supply.

"It may turn out that it is a better stronger immune response to receive a second dose with a different vaccine," she said. "We don't yet know that."

CBC.ca: BC continues downward trend in new COVID-19 cases, but 15 more lives lost over the weekend.

virological.org paper posted:

We report a novel sublineage of B.1.1.1 (now C.37) that presents a deletion in the ORF1a gene (Δ3675-3677), also present in variants of concern (VOCs) B.1.1.7, B.1.351, and P.1. It displays a novel deletion and multiple nonsynonymous mutations in the Spike gene (Δ246-252, G75V, T76I, L452Q, F490S, T859N). Initially reported in Lima, Peru, in late December, it now accounts for 50 of 105 (47.6%) genomes in Lima between January 1 and March 18. Further RT-qPCR screening for VOCs suggests that it is widespread in other regions of Peru. It is also expanding in Chile and has been reported in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Ecuador, Germany, Spain, the UK, and the US.

And apparently Israel.

if you guys really want to know how wide and gapingly open we are, I have to have patients take off their mask for the mri because of the little twist tie for the nose which is just raw iron. The absolute universal response is one of joy, relief, freedom. Oh thank god! gently caress these masks! Everyone is elated to take the mask off for their scans. I've only had ONE patient who refused to unmask and it took us some time to explain to him that yes it'd be fine in the mri, but it would be literally impossible geometry wise for him to keep wearing his 3M elastomer for a brain mri because it wouldn't fit in the coil at all.

Weird how the only one was a sociopath half respirator wearer who should be seeing a therapist.

Most of my friends are not chuds. They're people who think vaccines are good, but they've heard about blood clots and think maybe women on birth control shouldn't take them. Or they're immunocompromised and they've heard that the vaccines can give you covid. Hardcore antivaxxers should be strapped down and forced to take the shot, but that's not who I'm dealing with.
