Should We Worry about Bird Flu?

There's a reason I want an OmniMask.

~ it's so I can be the coolest doomer at school ~

But also because I want more people to feel comfortable being around me:
both the immunocompromised or carers,
and people who read lips to help with Auditory Processing Disorder, loss of hearing, d/Deafness;
or anyone who just feels more comfortable seeing whole faces.

I definitely don't understand the "I want to see your FACE" people,
but I don't generally set out with the intention of unnerving people
(until they upset me and I've tried conflict resolution skills, but unfortunately haven't fully concluded it. THEN I get ornery!)

Yes yes yes omggg

Can you (theoretically) 3D design / print an off-brand filter case for See Us 95?
Theirs are so dainty they break mid-use, leaving you with one side flopping off while walking about.

Or even just an ergonomic ring shape with smooth hook nubs at the edge for straps to tie or loop onto.

That way, you use any surgical or actual KN99 or FFP3 respirator as the filter.
Then you fit this plastic edge press over it, pressing the (new) seal firmly against your skin.

Tada! Your fit test is now actually likely to pass!

Spirmaskon surhavu. KOVIM ne abolos sin. #SurhavuSpirmaskon #WearAMask #MaskMeansRespirator

Mi ne malsukcesas rimarki, ke tiu bildo ne havas alt-tekston - kaj ke la Demokrata Partio ankaŭ «lasis ĉiun malsaniĝi».

La bildo tekstas:

If you hired a guy to Make Your House Great and he hired his incompetent children, stole your money, gave it to your richest neighbors, let everyone get sick, killed your grandma, backed over your mailbox, burned down your house and blamed Black people. Would you hire him again?

Tiu Angla ne gramatike ĝustas, sed oni komprenas ĝin kvazaŭ ĝi estus unua frazo.

Mi esperantigu:

Se vi dungis ulon por «Vian Domon Great-igi^» kaj li dungis siajn nekompetentajn idojn, ŝtelis vian monon, donis ĝin al viaj plej riĉaj najbaroj, lasis ĉiun malsaniĝi, mortigis vian avinon, faligis aŭtomobile vian poŝtkeston, forbruligis vian domon kaj kulpigis nigrajn ulojn, ĉu vi dungus lin refoje?

^ Tiu uzo de l’ Angla vorto «Great» estas tute netradukebla. Laŭvorte, ĝi povas signifi aĵojn kiel «bonega», «gravega», «granda» kaj nur «ega». Mi do ne tradukas ĝin. Elparolu ĝin «grejt’», kaj tiun dulingvan kunmetaĵon «grejtigi».

Nu, la Demokrata Partio certe volas fari malpli da tiaj teruraĵoj, kaj se vi estas Usonanulo, ĝi indas vian voĉdonon. Sed ili malagnoskas KOVIMon, kaj do mortigas avinojn.

The lessons of the [ongoing] sarscov2 pandemic are that respirators, travel quarantine, test-trace-isolate, and work/school-from-home are exceedingly effective at reducing transmission of even the most contagious pathogens, right? Right??

#CovidIsNotOver #MaskUp #MaskMeansRespirator

"Respirator" means a facemask that seals around the mouth and nose for the purpose of filtering all the air the wearer inhales.

Respirators can be constructed of either:

a) an elastomeric body designed to be reused many times with replaceable electrostatically-charged, glass fibre, charcoal and/or gas filters, straps, etc

b) an electrostatically-charged fabric designed to be disposed of after one or a small number of uses.

Most reusable elastomeric respirators (N95, FFP2, FFP3, P100) have exhalation valves, but some don't.

Most disposable fabric respirators (KN95, KF94, N95, FFP2, FFP3) don't have exhalation valves, but some do.
