my o2 levels were fucked i had that pulse thing on n it went off every 20 min which became super frustrating. They didnt have a mask on me but when I got to the ER I felt like I couldnt breathe and I guess I ripped my mask off. they tested me for Zika Virus. Hay Fever. Corona. Multiplr Sclerosis. and Meningitis all negative.
i was only taking 5g a day and my use was seriously minimal days prior. I probably had barely detectable levels in my system but I was incoherent and saying random shit for those first 3 days but after a seizure your mind is like scrambled eggs. getting my penis cathetered didnt help and gave me the infection. I’m starting to wonder if my first hospital stay gave me the infection because after i was released i dont remember peeing and my stomach and back were killing me but they kept thinking I was making it up for meds. it sucked!! i begged to have the catheter removed. when the lady lubed it up I thought she put hot sauce on it it was burning so bad. i remember the bag hanging over the side of the bed and me just freaking out about the pain and a nurse fixing the bag and at that point I didnt give 2 fucks. They were actually pretty non-callant about being exposed to things so they must have known my results already. i did get a buncha stomach injections not sure what the fuck those were.
i think after they told me I had the infection I had an insane anxiety attack knowing covid was all over n my penis might have covid because of a stupid fucking catheter.

@pirate_blues, I think the website Asante mentioned was KN95 Masks
Those are the ones I'm using, I sanitize them after each use by putting them in the oven at 190f for 20 minutes. So far, so good.

Yeah, most of those have the valve which is problematic. It protects me, but not everyone else. I could be asymptomatic and not know. These work well to protect myself around people without a mask, as well as others with a mask.
Although I've bought a couple of the normal fabric masks and holy shit are they easier to breathe in. If there weren't so many unmasked people around or people wearing a mask improperly, I'd be wearing the fabric ones. Unfortunately, there are a few people who put up a stink about wearing one, then pull it down to their chin and only pull it up if/when someone tells them to, then pull it back down again 30 seconds later like 5 year olds.
I was at Walmart yesterday and saw someone wearing one with their nose out. Stupid, but average stupid around here. Then he grabs the front of his mask, pulls it down to his chin, and begins RUBBING his lips with that hand as he contemplates what type of chicken to buy. I'm just standing there like...dude. Wow.

I just bought 40 masks from that site, I was going to get 30 but then I would have had to pay 15 shipping, if I bought 40 I get free shipping, so 30 and 40 were the exact same price for me, I will probably leave a pack at my gf's place and keep the rest for my family, and I probably wont need them for a while, I dont think anyone is sick in my town, I have just been wearing a neck gaiter which probably is too thin to do anything, but I think its fun to wear, If I didnt have prescription glasses I think it would be a lot of fun to wear sunglasses with the neck gaiter and a hat, would look like a robber or something

Most mask are only designed to filter either the air you breath in or the air you breath out. Those that filter both are rare. Surgeon masks designed too keep your shit inside, p95 to keep outside contaminations out of your lungs but not to filter the air you breath out.

since I work in organ donation and used to work in a iso 4 cleanroom I know a lot about how bacteria and viruses travel from your hands to other surfaces. I used to have to get my surgical gloves plated and cultured when I did massive batches of amniotic stem cells and I never came back positive but I saw so many people get positive plates and fired after they revied the footage and saw them touch something they werent allowed too. That job made me pretty paranoid about germs. now I work at a full body organ donation research facility for doctors. before I was furloughed my corona tests were 1/3 donors were positive. i told people this shit was sketch. What is even more frustrating is the covid donors were labeled “possible covid” by the medical examiner because the tests weren’t accurate at that point. a week before my furlough I got dx with strep throat n thats when I started to feel like absolute shit. I could barely sleep or eat and was beyond dizzy n nauseous.
idk if being exposed to corona would be helpful to gain some immunity. you could get a crazy strain and die so thats not wise but my exposure has been 40000x the average person. I administered the test. I was exposed to it when the funeral home guy opened the body bags to verify the toe tag (cant transport until you double verify but seriously open a corona virus body bag wtf)? we drove 6 bodies back for organ donation and 3 were confirmed covid! which had to get cremated right away. then Im at the hospital twice in a retirement community.
i need a vacation this bothering me that everything was blamed on kratom. . .

I wear a surgical mask over masks with valves when I'm wearing a mask with a valve.

even masks with valves are better than nothing as the valve redirects air and droplets largely back toward the outer surface of the mask

Now anti mask retards are protesting in Canada today. I wish this stupidity was kept in America. You never see any of these fuckers at anti prohibition protests because that doesn't affect them. They don't actually care about freedom.
The choice is masks or lockdown 2.0, I have a job so it won't be me collecting unemployment. The government can't support everyone forever. And here in canada we absolutely will sacrifice reopening for public health. Once we hit a certain number of cases the lockdown will come back. Why anyone would want that is beyond me. The last few months of sacrifice will be for nothing, because people refused to wear a mask. It's fucking pathetic.
There should be a law against spreading virus conspiracies. Free speech is overrated. Conspiracies always work on a good percent of the low IQ population, like anti vaxers, and you can't reason with them. Maskless retards are mostly anti vax trash it seems. They aren't smart enough to deal with science or facts, but are not aware of their inadequacies. The number of uneducated halfwits who think they know more than medical science is astounding. Scientific education is failing in North America

well I work in labs and PPE is essential. I’d never walk into a room and handle biohazardous waste without a mask and I’m pretty fucking conservative. My masks always fog up my goggles so I definitely do not like them but I know I could be hurting myself or others. I think people are just fucking stupid everywhere in the world and in 2020 nobody cares about anyone else its all “me” “me” “me”

This whole idea that you’re supposed to get all the facts and make up your own mind is destroying society. Everybody thinks their opinion is valid. No. Much of the time, there’s right and there’s wrong and we need to stop encouraging people to find their own paths to the wrong answer. Most people are not capable of understanding complex information. What you learned on Facebook about vaccines does not make you an equal to a trained medical professional.

i mean, the age of information kind of came on us like a truck-kun killer out of nowhere. it's no wonder people, especially those who didn't grow up with it, have no clue how to deal with it, as well as those who did grow up in the age of (mis)information. pretty much there's a narrow band of people who grew up with the age of the internet as young kids and saw it evolve, so understood how it works, but also saw it morph from an age of information to the dystopia of facebook lies and faux news we see now.
the older generations are too gullible (for the most part, some of the smarter folks who actually bothered to learn how to use this "series of tubes" see past the bullshit) while the younger generation are basically getting bombarded with conflicting viewpoints all the time, so how the heck are they supposed to figure anything out? most of the middle aged boomer folk just seem to read only enough to confirm their own biases, because they feel they're always right. it seems to be some sort of generation mentality, that to be wrong is a sin, a sign of weakness, instead of an opportunity for growth.
we need to teach the basics of logic in classrooms. i'm not talking logic 101 here in 3rd grade, im talking like... LE here. something that you gotta take throughout your entire education, as much as you would physical education. starting with the basics of reasoning, and working to more complex problems, how to avoid various logical fallicies, and so on, to act as a sort of mental vaccine against disinformation in this age of information. there's never been a time it's been so desperately needed - with the sheer amount of information, the incredible speed it can be cranked out, governments and news outlets simply can't filter it all out. people need to be able to protect themselves automatically - they need to be able to see a news article and go "wait a second... i'm pretty sure tide pods are not safe for human consumption. i'm pretty sure bleach is a deadly toxin to people as well as microbes. maybe i should GOOGLE THIS FIRST just in case."

Maybe if you stopped calling a known virus a hoax and instead changed your message to “ Corona virus being used as X to further X “ Or something. Might come off a tad better.
