Does everything you got work for tear gas inhalation? I figure might as well do both but not full face so as not to be too big a target, that's just organic vapor right? This is all very complicated

i have the same mask which i got on amazon. To protect against both tear gas and covid here's what you do.

> organic vapor cartridge
>filter retainer (plastic cap that screws on the ov cartridge to hold prefilters in place)
>n95 particulate prefilter (lil circular disposable inserts that is held in place by the prefilter on the ov cart)

edit: this is what they look like

I don't know how to tell my parents I probably won't be able to visit them until a vaccine comes around. If I did visit I would insist about only socializing outside, while masked. Luckily I have a camping van so I can make due pretty well out there but I just know they would try to get me inside. It's sad poo poo. They take the virus seriously but I still feel like they'd act like I was crazy for basically camping out on their driveway

i was receiving unemployment just fine for a few weeks but for some reason its been held for the past two, getting a little uncomfy about that

have applied for SNAP in the meantime, i doubt theyll accept me because of my savings but i encourage any other Lost Job Goons to apply for every benefit available because every little bit helps.

Lmao my county just posted 15 new cases. This is twice the amount of the last biggest increase on SATURDAY lmao

It doesn't seem like a lot, but it isnt good!

thats the trajectory my county took.

march, april, first half of may, all maybe 1 to 2 cases per day, some stretches of days with 0 cases.

late may: 7 per day. then 15 a couple days.

now, it's a consistent ~20 per day and growing

childcare has always been something humans didnt do by themselves. used to be a tribe, community thing. then development of the nuclear family with capitalism hosed it up. schools are one of the last vestiges of that community system. it makes sense why parents are at their limit, it's a system failure once again

this mite be off topic but i have a theory

pet deaths are really fuckin devastating because the human brain sees them as children, and seeing your children die before you is like, not supposed to happen psychologically

hm, let me make this on-topic: i really, really hope that if i get covid, i don't spread it to my cat.

Here's that post again about the filters for the type b mask

These just came in the mail for me today. They are the cartridges that hold n95 filters only (for the honeywell north respirators) meaning they are much lighter than using the big organic vapor cartridges with n95 prefilters.

fwiw ive had a relatively easy time finding honeywell carts and filters for my honeywell halfmask 5500

mastershakeman posted:

Do you have to buy anything else with those? Or just that + the mask which is probably 70 total?

I already have some replaceable n95 inserts that fit inside those-- but i was pleased to see that they actually came with a n95 filter inside already, plus the retainer cap. so you wouldn't need to buy anything in addition to them

Bullfrog
Nov 5, 2012

if filters become scarce you can also 3d print adapters so you can make diy filters using water bottles, or various adapters to use different brands of filters with other masks. keep in mind that they may not be airtight and you should probably cover them in a primer or sealant.

yeah, lots of stuff is backordered and such. But it's better to get it asap because things are just going to get harder and harder to find. The other thing is that lots of these reusable masks and such are going to retain their use value for a long time (since covidghazi aint going away!) and even once covid does end in 2036 you'll probably want some good masks anyway so you're not breathing in arctic wildfire fumes while you scavenge the local dollar tree for edible rat carcasses

is it true that lots of people are being dumb as gently caress in the pandemic? yes

but im of the opinion that we should avoid making a covid diagnosis something shameful, it harms public health and isolates people even more, people might be hesitant to contact people they may have interacted with, might want to avoid talking to contact tracers because they're ashamed of having hung out with people, etc.

getting covid is bad enough of a consequence, lets just all make sure it doesn't spread once people get it

laughing about all the articles which talked about how likely it was that covid was gonna be seasonal.

feb 4 2020

https://www.statnews.com/2020/02/04/two-scenarios-if-new-coronavirus-isnt-contained/

quote:


The “seasonal” reflects the fact that viruses can’t tolerate high heat and humidity, preferring the cool and dry conditions of winter and spring, Webby said. That’s why flu, as well as the four coronaviruses, are less prevalent in warm, humid months. If the new coronavirus follows suit, then containment efforts plus the arrival of summer should drive infections to near zero.
