Not really, the antibody tests we used arent accurate enough to be personally useful imo. I think better ones have been develooed but havent been scaled up for implementation yet. Even if you come back positive it doesnt mean you definitely had covid19 so practically speaking it wouldnt change anything about what I do at or outside of work

Gotcha. Yeah I was wondering if the accuracy had improved some. Hopefully that gets scaled up relatively fast.

If researching means engaging in active confirmation bias then yes bodhi is highly skilled at it

I agree masks are dumb and possibly more detrimental

Youre not agreeing with me
You literally just pulled that out of your ass. We spend two weeks of school just learning how to wash our hands and wear ppe correctly. It works when you do it right.

KN95s are available on ebay, with free shipping.
I ordered 2 Tues. night for back-up, they did ship free, and I got them today before lunch. They shipped from Delaware but are made in China as pretty much everything is today. I like that they are individually sealed in plastic packaging and appear sterile. I may get a few more at that price.
And as I said before, "Any anti-maskers out there can kindly go fuck themselves."
Be well and safe everyone else. (at a safe distance) . . .

Spray them with lysol (both sides) and let them dry, that's an extra precaution before wearing.

morrowasted said: Just checked ppe stats. Medical center is currently using 499k gloves, 100k surgical masks and 5k n95s per day. Apparently no concerns abour shortages though
I'm seeing a girl who's an ER nurse. She tells me they don't have gowns. They have to collect the ones they use at the end of each shift to be washed. All of the hospitals around here are asking for ANY kind of masks from the community, even cloth ones. They're also asking for stuff like gowns, shoe covers, etc.
Gloves, tho....seems like every place has gloves.
She's scared and has panic attacks at night thinking that she will get it. She's angry at her hospital for not protecting the nurses. She tells me she didn't sign up for this when she became a nurse. She says people (friends, family) are afraid of her giving them COVID. She says sometimes when people hear she's a nurse, they recoil in horror.
I feel bad for her. I wish I could buy her a case of gowns, but I don't know where you buy those from.

don't spray them with lysol are people really this fucking dumb about masks? Do any of you geniuses have any concept of a .03 micron virus? The masks filter the smallest particles by static charge which lysol will totally ruin. If they get wet even from simple condensation from ur breath everything that the outside touches is just going to wick thru. Unless u have a perfect seal its worthless. Ur walking around with a petri dish on your face.

Ya but masks and face coverings still stop droplets. Ergo, everyone wears a mask, transmission goes down. Goes away? No. But goes down? Yes. Significantly. This is being proven over and over again in countries like Austria, Germany, and states in the northeast where transmission has dropped more than 300% in some areas. The thing is everyone has to be compliant. Yes, people are morons, yes some of them will fuck it up completely, but less will. You can still mitigate the transmission rate, and that takes the stress off of our healthcare system, which is the name of the game. Having some of the best hospitals in the world doesn't mean shit if there are no ICU beds left.

Also how much money did it cost for you to spend two weeks learing how to use a nail brush? Those people should be put in jail. Unbelievable

I dont sterilize my masks with anything but uv light from the sun.
Fitted masks are definitely better but it is asinine to imply that youre just as likely to catch covid19 wearing an n95 that doesnt fit perfectly as you are freefacing it

You don’t understand what the masks do for the general public. They aren’t for filtering out virus. They are preventing virus from being accelerated away from your face.

Again .03 micron virus. Computationally model the fluid dynamics in an accurate way that and proves it then or something. All I'm saying is im skeptical.
