Opinion: The unconscionable move many hospitals are making 😷 https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/29/opinions/covid-mask-hospitals-health-patients-shihipar/index.html "There’s no question that masks are annoying and add to hospitals’ costs, but that in no way justifies adopting policies that could endanger the very populations health care centers are supposed to serve. Those at highest risk for severe disease and death from Covid also happen to be the ones who generally need to access health care the most." #COVID #COVID19

How often should you re-adjust the nose wire? @[email protected] actually tested that and found the fit factor for him dropped from about 500 at the start to about 250 after 20 minutes and then below 100 (failing) before 40 minutes ( https://twitter.com/FitTestMyPlanet/status/1636928993965268993 ). 19/

“The harmonic mean basically says “Don’t forget to tighten the nosewire at least every 20 mins or you might as well be using a bifold.” Wondering if someone can make a jaw-moving animatronic test rig because I definitely don’t want to do this more than another couple times.”
