I bought a couple of the RZ masks. Comfortable and can be worn at length without discomfort.
That is good to know. What size did you get i figured id get a medium?
Got a large at first, but then bought an xlarge and it fits my fat head much better.
Wonder what would of happened if America was smart and everyone used something like those from the start.
I think i have a normal head…but maybe ill get the large instead.
Scientists are urgently investigating hints the new variant of coronavirus spreads more easily in children.
If proven, this could account for “a significant proportion” of the increase in transmission, they say.
The claim comes from members of the government’s New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats advisory group (Nervtag).
Children almost universally shrug off the virus, but the variant could alter the role they, and schools, play in spreading the virus.
Earlier strains of coronavirus found it harder to infect children than adults.
Prof Wendy Barclay, from Nervtag and Imperial College London, said the mutations to the virus appeared to be making it easier to walk through the doorways that were there.
She said this could be putting children on a “more level playing field” with adults as the virus was “less inhibited” in children.
The important thing is to get FFP3 not 2 imo.
The ones we use are N97s.
Same but I have a big beard so the N95 fit would suck
Hints at is usually code for we don’t have the data. The article also contradicts itself with the talk about how kids don’t get it as easily with talk about their rates being the same as adults.
WHO reported vaccine should still work today, which is really the thing that actually matters the most here.
Apparently the Journal failed to learn from running Mike Pence’s “No Second Wave” op-ed in June. So here’e Scott Atlas for you:
Lol, fuck yooooooooooou WSJ

When I feel I need more protection, I use those with a surgical mask over the exhalation vents to protect others. But for most of the summer, I just used a surgical mask.
Probably going to break out my RZ’s for more regular use again.
Appreciate the response. I realize diagnosing with crappy information filtered through multiple people is impossible.
Im not that knowledgeable about disease and how the body responds but having a current fever caused by an infection months earlier seemed weird to me. I will stress to her the importance of seeing a normal doctor now and addressing the chronic problems and not just waiting for another emergency.

This probably isn’t true. People have tried general strikes a few times in very recent years and while there’s been decent participation it’s not even approached close to a general strike, and 96% is probably massive hyperbole even in one. And the last time was a reform of the pension system that is generally hated by everyone (and now more-or-less abandoned), so it’s not as if the issues weren’t emotive or wide enough.
The real reason is that French society and politicians are still pretty unanimous on the need to have government help people to survive at this point (even if the detail is still argued over and it’s certainly not the case that everyone is skating by here on easy street.). It isn’t an issue that’s controversial, so what French people would do if the government gave up on that scale isn’t really answerable.
That said, you should all strike, just it might take a hell of a lot more than that. And that’s just to be about as good as France!

Please don’t get masks with exhalation ports
I worked with an engineer in Italy that lived and often worked in France. He said it was common at a plant in France that the workers would like the manager in his office and then negotiate his “release”.
He didn’t seem to be a tall tale teller but I have no direct info.
