Don't get me wrong, it's absolutely the right step here, but I got 'em and even back then I protested that they were even joining the #Fediverse. Not to say otherwise with put you in conflict with the wedding planning!!!

@YorkshireTea Well...I explain that playing rugby for 20 yrs took a toll on my nose and I can't breathe. They tend to back off when they hear "rugby"....

Anyone research masks and asthma? Common sense tells me that restricting airflow on a child who has asthma is not a good idea.

I ordered sushi.

Holy shit, this is really good. I hope to visit this place and eat this fresh someday.

With all these high-profile Twitter accounts posting Bitcoin 'giveaways' I expect to hear something interesting about it in the morning.

This is how it's done, look at the end of the LGBT agenda. It couldn't survive without stereotypes!

sure, we're not so sophisticated with membrane tech yet, but we're getting there

selective membranes/filters that block somethings but not others are not trivial

@realcaseyrollins I can't recall if there's any for this particular one (SARS-CoV-2) but there are studies as far back as 2008 that indicate that homemade masks are effective at reducing the likelihood of getting a respiratory infection.

As far as materials are concerned, this was posted today. https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-best-mask-or-diy-face-covering-for-covid-19/

@lnxw37a2 @realcaseyrollins @Feddylain Almost feels like some politicians have entered the same area of the public eye usually occupied by movie stars and musicians.
@realcaseyrollins i mean, it was theatre even if they didn't say that because noone is checking what mask anyone is wearing.
@realcaseyrollins Sup Casey, hope your doing well.
The cloth face masks are honestly mostly to prevent people from spitting/coofing on each other.

You get infected by getting a certain amount of the virus inside your body. There's a threshold amount that the virus has to reach before it really starts affecting you. A single virus cell isn't enough to typically infect someone. This is why people are advicating to go outside more, because the ambient wind blows away the COVID virus before it reaches a meaningful threshold.

COVID can get in your body through any mucous membrane. That's stuff like around your eyes, nose and mouth (among other things).
To transfer from one person to another, the virus typically needs to be transferred by something. Typically this is liquid droplets created by coughing or speaking.

The main purpose of a cloth face mask is to catch these liquid droplets in them and prevent them from flying onto surfaces or other peoples faces, etc.

N-95 masks are really cool and actually go a step above being a physical barrier, they actually use electrostatic properties to trap virus molecules in the mask. (The N-95 means it captures 95% of particles)

This is really good for environments were you know you're going to be exposed to sick people, like a hospital. But they have to be worn with other protective gear like face shields or goggles and gloves, since having someone cough in your eyes can infect you as easily as breathing in someones cough. You also can't really reuse or wash the N-95 masks because it makes them lose their electrostatic properties.

So yeah, N-95 masks are quite a bit better than plain face coverings and are meant to protect their wearer, but they have to be worn absolutely correctly.

Whats the point of having federation if you are just going to block whole instances. You might as well just stop posting to the fedi and write your opinions in a text file on your desktop.
