I Have the Common Cold Right Now

Will I get tested or panic? No. Why? Because I have had a common cold before and know how it feels.

maybe buy a new one. a 25 year-old respirator probably has some leakage.
im only razzing you. weird you would have wet paint pass thru the filters.

I'm kinda paranoid about inhaling too much dust and getting silicosis or something. So I always use 3M Micropore tape to help seal up any gaps (esp. around top of nose)
I thought a good proper respirator should make a proper seal on it's own though? Are you sure there aren't any leaks?

What type of respirator, if full face and you are still getting paint inside, your boss isn't paying to replace the filters and fucking you over. if it's just an n95, some pass pass through to be expected, but that's a mask, not a respirator so I assume that is not what you mean.

Influenza infections are down 98%. Cold viruses will have a similar reduction in transmission. Any cold like symptoms have to be treated as covid at this point. Get tested if youâre negative, fine, but until you know itâs fuckkng criminal to be out exposing anyone to whatever you have.

My brother has the same type of job (except dust and dirt from under houses) that dust goes through and he uses masks like everyone else because guess what? When it comes to self diagnosis you're an idiot. Getting the diagnosis right in the past now doesn't mean shit. The least you could do is wear a mask because again you don't know jack shit apparently about masks. It reduces the chance of transmission from 14% to 4%, you're showing symptoms when people like myself have lost 5 people in my friend groups loved ones and has destroyed lives. Many lives. Over 300k now and we are in the home stretch waiting for vaccine distribution and in the war against covid while experiencing symptoms you say fuck scientists, people that have seennthe carnage, fuck the experiments that show how masks work in varying situations because you know more then everyone in the world. Fuck that attitude.
This is like if during ww2 people said fuck the troops by not rationing food and instead of stopping production of cars and other metal objects for consumers for bombs and bullets we would all be speaking German by now if people like OP didn't all band together regardless of party objections in the face of an enemy that is killing many and left unchecked would kill many more. It's exactly like that
Again fuck that attitude
Herd immunity didn't work anywhere in the world with covid and denying that reality is just enabling death. Firstly people can get reinvested 4 months after getting Covid, secondly besides the 300k Americans dead, the 17 million that got it and lived many are now "long haulers" scarring blood platelets, the lungs, and nervous system. There's countless stories of ex: marathon runners having a hard time walking upstairs or doing daily tasks. Then there's the people with bad immune systems mainly the sick. Theres sick babies, sick adults and sick elderly, all put at risk by any futile attempt of herd immunity.

Flu testing this year is up 700% and cases of the flu are down 98%. You are totally ignorant. Nearly every hospitalized covid patient gets a full viral panel. 98.8% of flu tests in the past two months have been negative.

you can still have a healthy immune system whilst protecting yourself from covid. just because you wear a mask for a few hours a day doesnt mean your immune system is failing or in danger of failing

You generally need to have actual viral replication to produce enough antigens to build antibodies. 100,000 viruses wonât cut it.

If your wrong more people die (as they have been) if we are wrong no one dies, you just get annoyed that you have to wear something uncomfortable and that is factual. Meanwhile while both of us who both aren't doctors bicker about masks effectiveness 3k people die a day. In other countries that don't have the type of cancer that encourages sick people to go maskless because they don't believe in covid, they also had more waves but countries like Canada don't have even close to the amount of carnage we do in the U.S.
What it comes down to is we tried it the mostly maskless way and it failed horribly, herd immunity obviously didn't develop and covid19 doesn't follow normal flu rules because it is different and can't be beaten by herd immunity. We've seen the carnage from just a little less then half the U.S. population not taking the smallest precautions like wearing masks or not packing buildings.
Just because you don't know anyone that died from this doesn't mean dogshit and to morally position yourself to tell people they aren't experts when you're giving dangerous advice and rhetoric as if you know for a fact all the science in the world is bullshit. That's just disgusting

Ya well how about you guys stop buying into the capitalist machine that kills far more than covid. Thats what pisses me off, all you mask zealots are fucking hypocrites. Famine, deforestation, climate change, all these serious issues kill sooooo many more people than covid. The only difference is that covid has infiltrated into the cushy little bubble that you mask advocates live in. Maybe this whole thing is the universes way of teahing the comfortable a little bit of fucking humility. You get pissed people arent wearing a mask and dont say shit about the amazon. Give me a fucking break, you guys are jokes.

In my life, we lost 5 people to covid in my immediate friend groups families in 4 months you're the one feeding into a propaganda machine of holocaust denying level denial and spitting in my friends uncle's, mothers, cousins and grandparent just in my very small friend group and 300k others. The only way you couldn't see the carnage with you're own 2 eyes is if you willfully deny reality, stories like my friends. You act as if covid is so unstoppable we shouldn't even try not to kill people and that's on whatever piece of shit news source you get your info from. Wear a mask you crybaby.
I am right that in this argument if we are wrong about masks not working no more people will die then can be prevented but if us and science around the world and people who really are frontline doctors,nurses,epidemiologists etc are right, every person that thinks like you not only infects people and kills others but when the hospitals get overwhelmed it's anti maskers that are causing shutdowns everywhere and forcing people out of buisineses because they don't do their part in controlling a raging pandemic.

Oh so now that a global issue affects you personally its a real issue? Tell that to the dead natives in the amazon. Sorry about yor loss, but more sorry about the worlds constant loss as a result of our decadent western lifestyle. We had this coming. Not you personally, but our society.

No i think people should be bithing a lot louder about the rainforest than a pandemic that affects mostly the worlds privileged. Nature has been getting fucked for years, now nature is fucking back and everyones crying about it. Do you realize how many climate refugees there are going to be in 20 years? Nobody cares though because it affects the voiceless. Life is life and it pisses me off that because covid affects rich people now everyones in a panic. What if the child soldiers had facebook and could post their maladies? I guess we will never kow. We brought this upon ourselves.

What i am saying is that maybe if our culture wasnt so fucking shitty to the underprivileged then shit like covid wouldnt happen. The solution isnt a mask or vaccine, it is a complete restructuring of the way we live so we can be more harmoniois with our environment. But that is too hard for this retarded fucking adhd generation so i say fuck it, thin the herd, then maybe people will finally fuckimg get it. Its a shame it takes this kind of thing to make people clue in.

The rich people at the top planting the seeds of unattainable desires and false promises. The fertilizer is the advertisement industry, and the water is our own gullibility and stupidity. Our field is the deforestation of a once promising land and species.

the change begins with you. if you change yourself, you change the world.
i can tell you are passionate about your convictions but lawdy, you need not be so hostile my friend. we need to work together to meet these goals of yours and no 9ne will want to partner up with you if youre just bashing everyone with a difference of opinion.
more people would listen and appreciate your input if you say it with fervor and not with a bad attitude.

in the way that your good at complaining about the world suffering but lazy at doing any small part to change it. wanting it all to burn down isnt exactly the best solution for all of us.
coming back with, "who cares, the world is fucked!" isnt helping anyone. any small gesture towards helping others is honorable. you dont need to dismantle the corporate machine to bring joy to those around you.

I was surprised at how much dust and fine particles still get through the respirator filters when I started my painting job. They definitely help but moving around so much I'm sure the filter's seal on my face doesn't stay perfect. The first week I was grinding down a garage floor with a concrete grinder, so my brand new respirator with new filters was a necessity. Concrete dust still got through even though my head was mostly staying in one position.

I haven't been sick with anything since COVID started and I've been exposed to COVID for somewhere between 500 and 1000 hours this year so far by wearing protective equipment you probably just picked your nose without thinking about it at some point and caught COVID.

Getting sick builds up immunities. Are you thay daft?
Immunities that you only need if you get exposed to the virus in question.
It's a bit like saying that getting attacked by other countries is good for country because it mobilizes the military
Not a perfect analogy but close.
There is more than one immune system. For things that we don't vaccinate against, some could argue it's a good idea to allow yourself to develop antibodies. Such a strategy would this apply to things like the common cold. But really the only advantage of doing this is to avoid getting sick from the same or very similar viruses again. In theory, if you could totally avoid those viruses, having the antibodies offers no advantage.
In the case of something like the flu or covid, where the INNATE (read: inflammatory and cytotoxic [cell-killing] immune response) can do a lot of damage to the body, you can't convincingly argue that getting sick and developing antibodies is the best overall strategy. Particularly when an effective vaccine exists you can't make that argument.

I do COVID testing. Ask them if you can look at it with a magnifying glass if you want. it's nothing more than a long thin piece of plastic with some silky-cotton like material at the tip and a groove to snap it in half.. there is nothing on it, nor is there any mechanism for disengaging something attached to it. the swab is immediately placed in a liquid culture after it leaves your nose.

Not getting a covid test seems reasonable enough to me, as long as you're not doing it to avoid admitting it might be covid. If you're being careful not to infect other people, then knowing it's covid rather than a cold doesn't really matter all that much right now. Personally, if you have insurance or if it's cheap or easy or whatever, then I'd get one of those mail-in covid tests. I'd think about it more like preventative health care for the time being, sort of like getting an STD panel after sleeping with a prostitute, though I admit it's less useful at the moment since there's no badass treatment for covid.
Also, that respirator setup sounds fucked to me. You should definitely not have paint stuck in your nostrils if that setup is working correctly, and I can only imagine how much solvent you've been inhaling over the years. I don't know enough about that stuff to guess what's wrong, but if you have a buddy who's into hazmat, then he'd be worth asking. Nothing motivates safety improvements like OSHA complaints. It's a lot easier to justify the cost of better safety equipment when you compare it to the cost of an OSHA fine.

My test was an oral swab. I'm glad I didn't have to do the nose thing...

okay well same difference. it's a piece of plastic with some cloth/silk like woven material at the end. i'm just saying, as someone who does testing, if someone were to say "Can I closely investigate the swab before you put it in my nose?" I would be like uh yeah knock yourself out. I will bend over backwards to try and help the hoaxers and conspiracy theorists see the light before they have suffer the consequences of their somewhat understandable inability to think clearly during this very stressful time.

Yeah, I certainly wasn't attempting to debate that. That's absolutely ridiculous...

one final point. COVID is arguably the most common cold right now. I know what you meant, but over time what the term common cold refers to may change, or we may come up with a different term

I've been having headaches for like a week now after getting the flu shot... I kinda wish I had had Covid, just to know what it feels like.

It feels like a really bad flu. Imagine that, someone sitting on your chest, and not being able to taste or smell much of anything.

Imagine how much worse it would be if you didnât wear a respirator. The respirator doesnât prevent all the dust from being inhaled, but it certainly cuts down on the amount.
This situation is fairly analogous to the function of medical grade masks and even simple face coverings. Nobody is claiming masks prevent all viruses from being inhaled, but because your chance of becoming infected is almost directly proportional to the number of viruses you are exposed to, being exposed to a fewer number of viruses reduces your chance of being infected.
The chance that any single virus will lead to infection is extremely tiny. A virus has to manage to essentially come in contact with the susceptible part of a susceptible cell by chance before the inate immune system neutralizes it.

I wonder if exposure to tiny amounts of covid via a facemask 36 hours a week can lead to gradual antibody production similar to a vaccine

Probably not much. Asymtomatic infections donât even produce much immunity

I am aware of the analogy. I'm not an anti-masker or anything, I was just commenting since with respirators the particles are just large enough to see with the naked eye when they conglomerate and was thinking that the average face mask people wear has to be letting things as tiny as a virus through that much more easily. Breathing through a respirator is so much more restrictive than breathing through a mask. I wear a mask every day for my other job too. Kinda sucks but I like looking like a ninja so it's cool.
