lol “most of”*

imo, it seems like most outbreaks at work are tight clusters of people who aren’t wearing masks. even places with a bunch of public interaction like grocery stores aren’t experiencing wildfire clusters. the lunchroom is probably the most dangerous area, p easily fixed by eating outside/in your car. get your coworkers to keep pressure on management to enforce distancing and disinfecting and your risks become negligible.

My closest co worker will be a non mask wearer MOST of the time, so if I keep alot of distance I think I can navigate the rest. 98% of the rest of the facility is wearing masks on the floor, and yes I can take breaks and eat in my car.

I will be wearing a mask literally all of the time, and I'm going to try and track down a real n95 at work if I can. I'm being moved into an office for now because I made a stink, so that's a bit of a relief (open floor plan 12' away from non mask wearers). Really really wish my coworker would wear a mask but he's a knucklehead. I'm going to try at least asking him to pull his bandana up if he needs to talk to me or when we do a two man job.

Are surgical masks objectively better than double ply cotton if the fit is equal?

The fit is not necessarily equal though. I favor a thin surgical mask that flexes/bends around your nose to a cotton mask that hangs loosely.

I have a custom cotton mask with a channel that allows me to use a thick length of bailing wire for the nose strip.

Just got into the office and being in my own office really makes me feel safer. I did grab a legit 3m 8211 (outflow valve and gasket on the inside), which I will wear around non mask wearers because gently caress you. Haven't venture out onto the production floor yet, though. Feels very business as usual though

They actually banned employees from using the exhalation valve masks at the healthcare system I work at. They do a good job of protecting the wearer, but by their design will do nothing to stop the wearer from spreading to others, which is a concern if you're potentially asymptomatic/presymptomatic but still contagious.

Totally understand, I will only use it in the event that I'm around one other person who refuses to wear a mask.

Few hours into work and I actually feel much more comfortable than I expected, which is weird.

It depends. A double ply cotton mask can be superior to surgical masks if it is high threadcount cotton.

If you didn't buy the fabric yourself and don't know what kind of cotton it is you can tell by holding it up to a bright light (preferably just one layer of fabric). Light shines through the 'holes' in the weave. If you see a thousand points of bright light that's bad, if you see few or none that's good.

Good info, I can see quite a few bright points so I'll switch to the surgical for now.

I can't afford it and my "doctor" called and is saying shingles now but it's totally not. She said go to urgent care but that would cost me more than the ER or me being seen in her office. She just doesn't want to deal with anything that isn't covid. I just slept all day and once I got up my husband didn't even check on me and just went to bed, before I went to bed he told me to "calm down" because I was so sick and sad I was being disregarded again by everyone

wonder if moisture effects it, so mask which have huge amount of breathing going through it persist longer than say fomites on your jeans


yeah this makes sense

So I guess the question is the reduced protection from a cotton mask due to filtration worth the trade-off in comparison to an n95? Or maybe a single layer cotton mask over an n95?
