Today is one of those days when I repeatedly think “Do I have this all wrong and COVID is nothing to be worried about”?
And then I think of all of the intelligent, supportive, and thoughtful people here and remember science and my health as well as other’s. Thank you to all the #CovidCautious people out there. #mask#COVIDisAirborne
Today it happened. A fear I have had since the pandemic started....
...I sneezed inside my mask.
The horror. The ick.
But I still kept it on for the whole way back home, and endured the heat, the stickiness, the sensory overload - all because I don't want to get sick or give spread sickness.
Masking is caring. Even when you got snot all over your face. :P
For my #covid sensitive or otherwise #mask wearing friends. This brand is going out of business and their remaining stock is 70-90% off. No Black left but add colors and patterns of KN-95s to your cart. They also have surgical styles still available. https://www.shopmaskc.com/products/earth-tones-variety-kn95
Still #masking to protect my patients. My #mask of choice is a K95, unless I’m seeing someone with respiratory symptoms in which case I switch to an N95 #oncology#oncologist#MedMastodon
Any suggestions for how to minimise aerosols getting to 8 month old baby on long haul flights and in airports? #CovidIsNotOver#RSV#Flu#Measles Too young to #mask. Can you get a N95 grade muslin or bassinet cover? Would just a physical barrier of a light muslin still be better than nothing? @SiouxsieW@pezmico Thank you for any tips! Plz boost for more input.
Getting close to the ideal disposable #mask for source control in (my) children. A modified KF94 with cord locks to help secure it more firmly plus contoured nose bridge pads to reduce reliance on an adequately bent nose wire.
Hi peeps, I'm after UK info, my wife has MRI lower abdomen soon and have been reading what I can on ffp2 mask use during procedure, a few posts saying patients will be given approved mask rather than anything brought in because fears of metal components/contaminants, anyone know if this is the case?
For info. these are what we're using and I'll be checking the nose clip but feels plastic, all else is welded. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08RJWB3NR
Boost appreciated thanks #MRI#COVID#mask
Anyone know of a high quality "window" mask to allow lipreading? Last time I spoke at a convention, I used an FFP2 window mask that worked fine, but it doesn't seem to be made any more. I anticipate speaking at #WorldCon in Glasgow in August. @masknerd ?
Except for layer 1 stuff, we're pretty much done with shopping and ordering for the new #FOSDEM local network and server setup. Almost everything under under direct control has been scheduled for upgrades or replacement.
We're using largely refurbished hardware because it's easier on the environment and because we don't need that much local oomph compared to e.g. #37c3.
Anyway, we finally have stable enough planning to do ALL the upgrades now, and we're grasping that chance.
Attending #37c3 and doing a small part to run that network (mainly Observability and teardown as per usual) was already great. Having #FOSDEM come right after is awesome.
If you see me, I will be wearing a #mask as per usual, but I am fine with fistbumps, shaking hands, and hugs depending on how well we know each other.
