So we should make masks out of towels?

We need a season of Seinfeld dealing with the virus. So many good bits.

My JOCKO mask(s) will be here by Saturday, but hopefully tomorrow!

I was wondering about movies/shows made in the next few years, and if they'll touch on social distancing and staying home.

Like seeing Larry and Leon cooped up together for a month.

sounds like you should make a mask out of a t-shirt, towl, sweatshirt, and scarf

i'd make it and post a pic if i wasn't so lazy


i saw you can also make a pretty cool balaclava out of boxershorts

This seems to say something different.

Here's the study they link:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18612429/

I just don't understand how droplets large enough to fall to the ground fairly quickly (forget the 3 hour thing - that was an experiment with a nebulizer basically) wouldn't be affected at all by a think amount of cloth in to baffle the air coming out. The idea that a surgical mask doesn't even slow it down seems crazy.

Your article, which is prefaced with "COMMENTARY:" seems to have an axe to grind and sure loves the CDC:

Also from your article:

No one is suggesting a surgical mask is going to prevent you from giving it to someone you live with. The suggestion is to wear them in public. If we can knock down 90%, or even 50% of the viral load being spewed into the public environment - that's a big win - even if it's not enough to prevent someone from giving it to a household member.

Damn, man. Isn't the White House enough for you?

But it would be great if Saturday Night Live were able to get back up and running.

My parents are from Taiwan and my Dad made us wear masks whenever we were sick since we were kids. Have a giant box of them in the garage. When I was a kid I’d just take it off as soon as I got to school because I was embarrassed. I’m very worried about him because he just turned 70, but he is in Dad heaven right now with the “I told you so” routine. I called him around March 10 or so to be careful and he’s like - I only watch news from Taiwan so I’ve been preparing for a month you idiot.

Of course he re-uses them until the elastic wears out and insists on going on multiple walks a day, and thinks that 99 Ranch is totally safe because everyone who shops there is Asian...

I was thinking the same about spreading out the hours, but the reason they gave is they needed more time to stock the shelves when customers weren't in the store. They could probably hire more people to stock during normal hours, but that's an expense.

You still seem very angry or unsatisfied...
I try to not use a word that a mod said about my posting, since you asked me not to...
You, as a mod, calling people morons - after your posts ITT - is funny.

I do you a favor and leave this thread, except if I have really important news for a short post. Hope that'll calm you down.

BYE

That is right they don't do anything to prevent you from catching it. Its not what they are suggesting. What they are suggesting is that if you wear it your less likely to get other people around you sick. Because if your coughing your coughing into your own mask and not towards anybody else. The only reason to wear it is to prevent sick people from infecting healthy people. But since it takes a few days to even know if you have the coronavirus then at least for those few days your not infecting anybody. It also means people that have mild symptoms and don't realize that they already have coronavirus won't be spreading it to others who might react to it differently.

Dangerous slackers everywhere smh

The reason my store gave was so employees would have more time to rest which is such obvious horseshit even ignoring the fact we're opening an hour earlier three days a week

Has anyone seen a source that breaks down the range of what % of people become symptomatic on what day?

Like we've all seen that the range of becoming symptomatic (for those that do) is 2-14 days, with an average of 5 days and something like 98% by the 12th day. But has anyone seen a study of the breakdown of the specific percentages of how many people become symptomatic on each day?

best homemade mask i have seen uses a furnace filter insert and looks a hell of a lot more comfortable then an n95



hepa filter vacuum bags can be used as an insert as well. maybe better

That will work great with my JOCKO mask(s)!

I think it was WashPo but in the Alexa news briefing i got today they said one thing that exacerbated the issue in NY is that Kushner convinced Trump that Cuomo was being a pansy and was severely overestimating how much help they needed when it turns out Cuomo was drastically underestimating

To have data like thus there qould have to be testing of unsymptomatic people qhich im most places there is not. A family member had it for two weeks, high fever, and had 10 coworkers with it, one of whom died. Only the one who died got tested. I think I had it with light symptoms but no way to know for sure.
